Four of the five employees based in the organisation’s London office have now been made redundant, including its global head of finance and compliance, the Times reports.

Last night Sentebale confirmed to the Daily Mail that there is now only one full-time staff member operating at its UK headquarters.

They added that ‘between April and September there will be a total of seven departures across three locations’.

A redundancy letter, sent to staff in April and seen by The Times, stated that the group ‘does not have’ donor funding and that it is in ‘retrenchment’.
