After weeks of legal wrangling, Mrs A Buxton-King, Mr R Hutcheson and Ms E Weir have all announced their resignations from The NFSH Charitable Trust Limited. This came just as a petition was being raised to be submitted to the High Court. While this clarification is welcome, the truth is that Mrs Buxton-King had already been constitutionally removed as a trustee, and all three had already been expelled from membership of the NFSH because of their unconstitutional actions.
In addition to removing Mrs Buxton-King as National Chair on the 27th October 2011, the five board members summoned the Council on the 26th November 2011, who voted to reinstate Mr Martin Alan Knott as National Chair. This decision was taken on the basis that the complaints against Mr Knott had been found by the five Trustees, which included the National Standards Officer, to be malicious, unfounded or unsafe due to the procedures not being adhered to. Therefore, it was decided that Mr Knott had incorrectly removed as National Chair, International Tutor and Member. It was unanimously agreed that it was the duty of five Trustees to reinstate Mr Knott as a Member and Tutor and to give Mr Knott and Council the opportunity for him to accept his reinstatement as National Chair, which he subsequently accepted.
Over the past months, we have been subjected to many negative actions and false accusations. This has been detrimental to both our personal health and general wellbeing. We have endured all of this to bring justice to our organisation on behalf of our members; we have done this also to protect the good name of The NFSH and to allow Spiritual Healing to be brought back to its rightful place at the forefront of our organisation.
The trustees would like to express our deep heartfelt gratitude to the membership who have given us such tremendous support over the last few months. It is now the greatest wish of the Trustees named above to move forward and start the task of rebuilding The NFSH Charitable Trust Limited. We want and need our members and supporters to be a part of that rebuilding process. We need to work together to repair the damage that has been done to our organisation, not just over the last 5 months, but previous to that also. We would like to express our thanks to the staff who have continued with their duties throughout.
