Wicked fraudster raised £1m in 'charity pub nights' - then kept nearly all the cash
29.07.2022 - 23:07 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A race night organiser cheated charities out of hundreds of thousands of pounds which he then kept for himself. Nicholas Hughes, 38, misled pub landlords into believing the money raised at his events was being donated to well-known national charities.
His business held thousands of events across the country and brought in more than £1.4m. However, less than £20,000 of that was actually passed on to charities.
Hughes was eventually caught when a vigilant pub landlord raised concerns about him. Trading Standards Investigators raided his business premises in Barbauld Street, Warrington, where extensive business records were seized.

The records showed Hughes's business had raised more than £1.4m from at least 4,380 ‘race nights’ he arranged in pubs across England and Wales between 2015 and 2019. Working together with six national cancer charities and one Alzheimer’s charity, investigators worked out that only £17,469 was donated to the charities.
Some of the donations only happened after Hughes realised trading standards were onto him. Investigators discovered a pattern of him moving on to the next charity once questions were raised by the last.
In some cases, he continued to fraudulently raise funds in a charity’s name despite fundraising agreements being terminated and warnings being issued for him to stop.
Hughes used posters, fundraising certificates and race cards to convince pub landlords to host the charity race nights but failed to fully disclose just how much of the funds raised he retained to run his business and how little he passed on to the charities.
