Official Statement – 27 March 2023
Please see below a statement from our chair, Sir Andrew Cubie, following the publication of an OSCR inquiry report.
Sir Andrew Cubie, Social Bite Chair said:
“Over the past three years Social Bite trustees past and present have given considerable time to support fully OSCR’s inquiry, and we are pleased with the conclusion that no recommendations are being made to the charity and no action is required.”
“With only one finding by OSCR which relates to an isolated administrative error from four years ago, it found no wrongdoing, financial detriment to the charity or personal gain. Critically OSCR recognised former trustees took appropriate steps when they became aware.
“Finally, we are pleased with OSCR’s positive recognition of the proactive approach taken by both former and current trustees to the governance, reporting and communication of the charity, reaffirming that Social Bite adheres to the highest standards of governance.
“I would like to thank all our sponsors, donors, partners, current and former trustees, and team for their continued support helping Social Bite to achieve our aim of ending homelessness. The support we provide to the most vulnerable in society is needed now more than ever and we continue to be fully committed to delivering innovative solutions which will positively impact the lives of thousands of people over the coming years.”
