Naomi Campbell‘s Fashion Relief organisation splurged £12,000 on a flight to Nice to transfer art and jewellery, as well as splashing out £7,800 on a luxury hotel stay for the model.

The details of the charity’s spending have been revealed by the Charity Commission after Campbell, 54, was today disqualified from being a trustee for five years.

An inquiry found that between April 2016 and July 2022, just 8.5 per cent of the charity’s overall spending was on charitable grants.

It also said it found some fundraising expenditure to be misconduct or mismanagement by the charity’s trustees.

This included a £12,300 flight from London to Nice in 2018 for transferring art and jewellery.

It also looked into the decision to spend £7,800 of charity funds on a three-night stay at a five-star hotel in Cannes, France, for Campbell.While there she spent £6,000 on spa treatments, room service, and cigarettes.

The commission said today that as a result of its investigation, more than £344,000 had been recovered and used to make donations to two other charities and settle Fashion For Relief’s outstanding liabilities.

It follows revelations by the Mail On Sunday that official accounts showed that it spent more than £1.6million on a glittering gala in Cannes, but gave just £5,000 to good causes over a 15-month period.

The Charity Commission confirmed in April that it had removed the supermodel’s charity from the UK charity register while it continued its investigation into allegations of misconduct.

And today the Commission published the report of its statutory inquiry into Fashion For Relief, concluding the charity was poorly governed and had inadequate financial management.
