Fairburn has not registered a charity with the Charity Commission or made any inquiries about how to set one up, 22 months after he said he would donate a “substantial proportion” of his bonus to a charitable trust. Facebook Twitter Pinterest In February 2018, Jeff Fairburn said he would set up a ‘private charitable trust’ to support good causes in a ‘meaningful way’. A Charity Commission spokeswoman said: “We have no record of a registered charity bearing Jeff Fairburn’s name. We can’t categorically state that no charity has been registered that involves Mr Fairburn in some capacity. Fairburn told the BBC journalist it was “really unfortunate that you’ve done that [asked about the bonus]”, before walking out of shot.
