Following a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4 Dispatches, which was published in September 2023, a number of charities including the Trevi Women & Children’s Charity and the Treasures Foundation cut ties with Brand and his foundation.
Brand stepped back from his role at the charity last year and other trustees closed it and asked for it to be removed from the register, the Charity Commission said.
The Charity Commission said it was told on September 23 that Brand’s Stay Free Foundation “no longer operates and should be removed from the register of charities”.
A charity for addiction and mental health support which Russell Brand chaired has been closed, the Charity Commission has said.
Last month, a BBC review into Brand’s conduct during his time with the corporation found a number of people “felt unable to raise” concerns about the presenter and believed he “would always get his way and therefore they stayed silent”.
