Community Clubs play an important part in the social, fundraising and wellbeing of their locality.

When a club is the subject of theft/fraud by a person in a position of trust it can and does have serious consequences for the club

We the undersigned believe that the reported and alleged theft/fraud  from the Knowl Club (Mirfield)  by a person in a position of trust needs to be tested in court

The prosecutors have cited “public interest” as one reason for not pursuing this, we believe it IS in the public interest and for the public confidence in the police and justice system for this person to be tried for this offence

This is not a victimless crime as the 400 members of the Knowl Club are suffering from the loss of much-needed funds. 

Let’s make sure ‘white collar crime’ gets the attention it deserves. 
We’re petitioning for a designated department to deal with financial and fraud cases. 
We want a designated officer to deal with each individual case only from start to finish. 

We want all financial and fraud investigations to be completed in a reasonable amount of time to enable effective evidence gathering and a positive outcome from decision makers and the CPS. 

Even though ‘white collar crime’ isn’t violent it’s not victimless. It’s not a crime to trust - it is a crime to abuse that trust. 

This has happened one too many times locally! Be part of the change!
