On 17th February 2026, the Board of Directors of Southside Travellers Action Group made the decision to cease trading due to insolvency.

 

The Board only gained access to the organisation’s bank accounts in October and November 2025. Following this, the Board raised serious concerns regarding financial records and transactions.

 

The Board engaged with relevant stakeholders at that time and sought an external forensic financial review covering a 10-year period. This was not agreed at the time, and the Board did not have the resources to independently commission such a review.

 

In line with its duties, the Board took immediate and appropriate action by reporting its concerns to the relevant authorities and seeking external guidance. All information identified by the Board has been made available to those authorities, and the Board continues to cooperate fully with these ongoing processes.

 

The Board is currently progressing the appointment of a liquidator to place the organisation into formal liquidation. This is being undertaken to ensure that all matters are addressed in an orderly and compliant manner.

Further updates will be provided as the situation progresses.

 

The Board remains committed to acting responsibly and in accordance with its legal obligations at all times.
