Overview
- The charity Sarah’s Trust has been formally wound up and is listed as “removed” on the Charity Commission register and “converted/closed” at Companies House, a status reported on Friday by multiple outlets.
- Sarah’s Trust announced in February that the board and Ferguson had agreed to close the organisation “for the foreseeable future,” and the charity’s website and Instagram are now defunct.
- The move came after a mass US Department of Justice release of Epstein-related files that included alleged emails and entries showing continued contact and a visit involving Ferguson and her daughters, though appearing in the files is not proof of criminal conduct.
- Several charities previously cut formal ties with Ferguson in the wake of the revelations, including the Teenage Cancer Trust, Julia’s House, Prevent Breast Cancer and The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation.
- Ferguson has denied wrongdoing, has kept a low public profile and reportedly relocated temporarily abroad, and the formal winding up of her charity underscores broader reputational and institutional consequences from the Epstein document disclosures.
