“The Only FCA-Approved Charity?” Jaynes Baby Bank False Claim Exposed

During a live stream on July 16th, 2025, Jaynes Baby Bank announced:

So I’ve been authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority to use our sensitive business name. It’s been agreed it’s a sensitive business name, but I can use it.

Herein lies the issue. On August 19, 2023, Carrie-Anne Risdale claimed, “We’ve been authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to operate as a business before our charity number comes through.” Later in this article, we’ll highlight her recent attempt to conceal her previous assertions about being the only FCA-authorised organisation permitted to use “charity” in its title, a significant red flag and a critical error by this questionable organisation. Below is a brief historical overview of her statements regarding FCA authorisation.

You can’t say you are a charity unless you are a charity….

I don’t need to be a charity – the Financial Conduct Authority authorised my full business name: Jayne’s Mother & Baby Bank, Food Bank and Charity Shops.
We are already in the charity registration and CIC process and have preliminary numbers for our charity and corporation tax . Which reminds me, have you submitted your accounts yet? On the charity and CiC and HMRC websites all your accounts are overdue?? And just to remind you all over 10k you need to employ a registered accountant to do the accounts for you.

Just dropping the screen shot of the Financial Conduct Authority authorisation of our full business name Jayne’s Mother and Baby Bank, Food Bank and Charity Shops. Our shops have also been authorised by Caerphilly and Torfean Councils. We are still in the system for full charity registration under this name and have preliminary numbers and CIC preliminary numbers and corporation tax preliminary numbers… because some people have forgotten we are the bees knees 😁
