Following the ruling in Keira Bell’s case @gendergp have launched “The Gendergp Charitable fund”. This does not currently appear to be a registered charity in England and Wales, and the word “Charitable” should not be used without the permission of the Charity Commission 
I know that GenderGP is based outside the UK, and this fund may have a non-UK bank account. But it is being promoted to the public with a name that includes an English word which is restricted in charities subject to @ChtyCommission regulation, and I think that raises concerns
As does the fact that the fund’s object appears to be to promote access to medical treatment for young people in a way that does not comply with a recent ruling of the High Court in England. Can that be described as being for the public benefit in English charity law?
Nor is there any transparency on the constitution of this fund, and its administration, or its separation from the existing business activities of GenderGP
Gendergp Ltd is a company registered in England. Its business is “general medical practice activities”. The @ChtyCommission policy restriction on the use of the word “charitable” applies to company names. I hope @ChtyCommission will investigate this
Although this is the name of a registered company in England, according to the website of Gendergp, since 5 October 2020 the business has been owned by a company registered in Hong Kong, and GenderGP is a trading name gendergp.com/statement-from…
To be clear, there is no English registered company which has the word “charitable” and “genderGP” in its name, and the Charity Commission’s restriction is specific to the use of the word in a company’s name. But even so, this fund does not appear to be a charity in English law
