There is a case of a company, Gianna Care, that advertises itself on its website as a charitable organisation. There was a complaint about it six months ago or longer. It describes itself as providing crisis pregnancy care. It has the Gianna Care walk for hope, love and support, and so on. It is not a registered charity. A complaint was made to the Charities Regulator and was brought to my attention.
It is still holding itself as a charity and soliciting donations from the public. It had more than €76,000 in bank accounts since the end of 2018. The name is Gianna Care. Is Ms Martin familiar with the group?
