The Charity Commission has appointed interim managers to the unregistered charity London Spiritual Mission, according to a press release published on 11 August 2026. The appointment sits within the regulator's ongoing inquiry into both the Mission and the connected charity Trust Property Held In Connection With The London Spiritual Mission.

The Commission opened its statutory inquiry into the Trust Property charity on 7 December 2023 and broadened it in February 2025 to include the London Spiritual Mission, which the Commission considers ought to have been registered. It said the inquiry examines concerns about the purported dissolution of the Mission and the transfer of its assets, including legacy funds, to a Trust whose sole trustee is a private company limited by guarantee.

Interim managers Liz Brownsell and Jennifer Marley of Birketts LLP are tasked with identifying the charity's membership, reviewing its governance and legal structures, implementing a compliant governance structure, securing legacy funds and other charitable assets, clarifying the Mission's relationship with the Trust Property charity and other entities, and overseeing any trustee recruitment. The Commission said they will consult former members, Trust Property trustees, directors and members of the private company and other stakeholders as appropriate. It said the appointment, made by Order on 31 July 2026, applies only to the London Spiritual Mission and not to the trustees of the connected charity.
