Those who operate in public life and serve in institutions and that occupy a position of trust, must stand to be  scrutinized as to their strict codes of conduct in the interests preserving public confidence in those institutions.

It is the duty of every member of the public to question the decisions and motives of those in public office, just as it is the duty of the Commissioners to seek to further charitable causes that benefit mankind such as the fight against global warming and plastic pollution in our oceans.

The Charity Commission is established by law as the regulator and registrar for charities in England and Wales.  Their stated aim is to provide the best possible regulation of charities in England and Wales in order to increase charities' effectiveness and public confidence and trust. But who watches the Charity Commission?
