Naomi Campbell Wins Appeal Against Charity Ban in the U.K., and Can Start Fundraising Once Again

Campbell’s lawyer Michelle Duncan, partner at Joseph, Hage, Aaronson and Bremen, said the U.K. tribunal’s decision was a “significant vindication” for the model and charity fundraiser.

LONDON — Naomi Campbell can return to the fundraising arena after successfully appealing a five-year ban from being a charity trustee.

In 2024, the Charity Commission, a U.K. government department for England and Wales, had disqualified Campbell, and her colleagues, from serving as charity trustees following an investigation into the mismanagement of funds at Fashion for Relief, which the model founded in 2005.

The ban was to have lasted five years. Campbell was given the green light to appeal the ruling in a U.K. tribunal in 2025.

Fashion for Relief raised money to help lift people out of poverty. It had been under investigation since 2021 for its management of funds and was dissolved in March 2024.

Campbell’s lawyer, Michelle Duncan, a partner at Joseph, Hage, Aaronson and Bremen, said the tribunal’s decision was a “significant vindication” for the model. “Having won the right to an appeal, we are pleased that the tribunal, after a thorough review of the evidence, has found in Ms. Campbell’s favor and overturned her disqualification in full.”

Duncan added: “We are delighted that the tribunal has now found Ms. Campbell’s account to be truthful, and that her conduct as a trustee of Fashion for Relief was entirely honest and professional.
