This is interesting. The Tolkien Trust originally opened in 1977 & over the years has donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to various humanitarian charities worldwide. This year it shut down - search charity no 273615 on this page http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/find-charities/ Because its closed there are no records relating to it, or details of any donations.

Then this year it was re-registered http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk...idiaryNumber=0 but because its newly registered there are no financial details.

Anyone know what's going on?
