Sarah Ferguson’s charity, Sarah’s Trust, has been formally wound up and removed from the public register of charities. Reports from outlets like the Daily Mail confirmed the final filing. Over at Companies House, official records show the group converted to closed status.
The Final Chapter for Sarah’s Trust
It wasn’t a sudden surprise, though. Back in February 2026, the charity announced it would close “for the foreseeable future,” according to a statement shared by the BBC.
Representatives for the charity tried to soften the blow. A spokesperson said the board had discussed closing for “some months” before the news broke.
Emailed Files and Growing Pressure
The announcement followed the release of a large batch of Justice Department files tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

Among those documents were old emails. In one message from 2009, Ferguson reportedly referred to Epstein as “the brother I have always wished for,” as detailed in media accounts.
The email attracted renewed scrutiny and intensified criticism of Ferguson’s relationship with Epstein.
Good Works Couldn’t Save It

They also pointed to the charity’s past achievements. Before the closure, the group delivered over “150,000″ aid parcels to healthcare staff during the pandemic. They sent aid to Ukrainian refugees, set up play tents for children in Poland, and bought £14,000 worth of computers.
Good deeds don’t always clear the air, though.
In fact, several organizations moved fast to cut ties with Sarah Ferguson. The Teenage Cancer Trust ended her 35-year run as patron.
Other groups followed suit immediately. Julia’s House, Prevent Breast Cancer, and The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation all severed their connections, according to press reports.
A Quick Loss of Honors
Local politicians stepped in as well. City councillors voted to strip Ferguson of her Freedom of the City of York title.
By July 2026, the online trail simply vanished. The website went dark, the Instagram account disappeared, and the charity disappeared from the public register for good.
Reactions Online
Sarah Ferguson was always rather controversial, but her recent fall from grace means fewer people found her antics amusing. When an OP on r/AbolishTheMonarchy shared the updated news, people reacted wildly. One of them opined, “She should’ve stayed in the USA.”
Others were not that kind, and one commenter penned, “Oh wow, I’m absolutely devastated by this. I don’t know what to do with myself… can’t make money from her own charity any more. I’ll likely cry myself to sleep tonight.”
However, some others felt that the charity had done good work. Optimistically, a fellow reader suggested:
Perhaps if they published a list of all the wonderful achievements of the trust highlighting the many, many, many ways it made the world a better place there’s a chance they’ll reconsider and keep the trust going.”
