Sterling Foundation Under Investigation for Overdue Accounts
The Sterling Foundation, founded by footballer Raheem Sterling, is under investigation by the UK Charity Commission for failing to submit financial accounts for over two years. The foundation has only submitted one set of accounts since its establishment five years ago. As of Thursday, accounts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, are 814 days overdue. CEO Chris Bird blamed health issues and scheduling problems, insisting the foundation has 'nothing to hide.' The Charity Commission issued multiple reminders and a final warning before launching a special investigation. Sterling, currently without a club and on police bail for drug-related charges, declined to comment. Sources say he and his mother were unaware of the investigation, having left daily operations to others. The foundation's website has become inaccessible, though Bird claims it is a technical glitch.
