:00:00. > :00:00.Hello and tonight we are asking questions about a Derbyshire charity
:00:00. > :00:09.We look at concerns about how the man in charge raised funds
:00:10. > :00:17.I need to know why there is an entry that says you have
:00:18. > :00:38.Our cameras are behind closed doors with two local politicians.
:00:39. > :00:41.When I started I did surgeries on my own in empty libraries.
:00:42. > :00:43.And what's happened to all our nightclubs?
:00:44. > :00:46.Peter Stringfellow is a man on a mission.
:00:47. > :00:50.I'm bringing you the stories that matter closer to home.
:00:51. > :01:04.This is Inside Out for the East Midlands.
:01:05. > :01:07.Now, whenever you donate to a charity you expect your money
:01:08. > :01:14.The charity Kids and Cancer based in Chesterfield has claimed to help
:01:15. > :01:19.150 children since it was set up in 2010.
:01:20. > :01:22.However, Inside Out has heard worrying allegations about how
:01:23. > :01:26.funds were raised and use of the charity's bank account.
:01:27. > :01:29.Police are now looking into those concerns.
:01:30. > :01:39.If you want to start a charity to raise as much money as possible,
:01:40. > :01:42.I don't think you can get two better words than these.
:01:43. > :01:44.Kids, we all want to protect kids, and cancer,
:01:45. > :01:49.Put them together and surely there is no more emotionally charged
:01:50. > :01:56.And who could argue that it's not a worthy cause?
:01:57. > :01:59.But tonight, Inside Out can reveal serious concerns about how
:02:00. > :02:06.the charity Kids and Cancer has been run.
:02:07. > :02:08.All the children that you'll see on screen tonight are the people
:02:09. > :02:11.that you people have helped by coming and supporting
:02:12. > :02:14.We have never ever turned a child down.
:02:15. > :02:18.Mike Heimann, the CEO, founder and trustee,
:02:19. > :02:24.It's had an income of more than ?2 million but where has
:02:25. > :02:34.How many children has he actually helped?
:02:35. > :02:36.How many families has he actually supported and gone
:02:37. > :02:42.I've always thought that he was genuinely trying to help
:02:43. > :02:49.A former book-keeper, a trustee of the charity
:02:50. > :02:52.and even his own son have spoken to Derbyshire police
:02:53. > :02:58.It's not a proud moment to say that about your own dad because everyone
:02:59. > :03:01.wants their dad to be a hero, but he's not, it's
:03:02. > :03:05.It says here on the Kids and Cancer website that
:03:06. > :03:11.they've helped 150 children since they were formed in 2010.
:03:12. > :03:14.There is no proton beam therapy in this country.
:03:15. > :03:16.Next year the first of two UK centres will open
:03:17. > :03:19.in Manchester, costing hundreds of millions of pounds.
:03:20. > :03:22.Until then the NHS funds some children to receive it abroad.
:03:23. > :03:26.Kids and Cancer claimed it would fund those who were turned
:03:27. > :03:31.down and pay the expenses of those who were funded.
:03:32. > :03:34.The charity's promotional booklet tells the story of some of those
:03:35. > :03:37.children and Alex Barnes' is an uplifting one.
:03:38. > :03:40.There are pages and pages on his treatment in the USA
:03:41. > :03:43.and he features prominently on the charity's website
:03:44. > :03:48.as well as one of those Mike Heimann had helped.
:03:49. > :03:55.I received zero money for Alex's treatment from Kids and Cancer
:03:56. > :04:01.I was originally quite happy for Alex to feature as the poster
:04:02. > :04:05.boy if you like for the charity because we believe in the treatment
:04:06. > :04:12.It was the people of the East Midlands that donated
:04:13. > :04:21.But last November Alex was once again the poster
:04:22. > :04:25.boy at the charity's winter fundraising ball.
:04:26. > :04:29.He and his family agreed to help raise money.
:04:30. > :04:32.Kids and Cancer was set up to help families and children
:04:33. > :04:35.who were not funded, who fell outside the NHS guidelines
:04:36. > :04:40.and we have 13 children and the first child to be treated,
:04:41. > :04:47.Brandon Bell, in America, he is now seven years in remission.
:04:48. > :04:52.But Brandon Bell is another child whose treatment Mike Heimann falsely
:04:53. > :04:58.So we asked Kids and Cancer to provide us with a list
:04:59. > :05:08.The accounts reveal more than ?2 million of income since 2010
:05:09. > :05:13.and it's unclear how many children have been treated from those funds.
:05:14. > :05:16.Bill Wilson worked as a book-keeper for the charity before he raised
:05:17. > :05:23.Cash payments featured regularly in the charity's books but this one
:05:24. > :05:30.I got the 5,000 off the monthly bank statements and there was no
:05:31. > :05:40.That is the limit of what the Kids and Cancer debit card
:05:41. > :05:46.I was told it was a cash grant to two ladies.
:05:47. > :05:52.I asked him why he had not done it by electronic transfer for such
:05:53. > :05:55.a large amount and he said these ladies were poor and they had
:05:56. > :06:03.Roz Barnes is a designer for an online fashion boutique.
:06:04. > :06:05.Nadine Wilson works as a cabin crew member
:06:06. > :06:13.Inside Out informed them that they appear on the charity's
:06:14. > :06:17.books as having received this ?5,000 cash.
:06:18. > :06:23.There is also a third entry of ?1000 cash for a grant to Nadine.
:06:24. > :06:27.That ?5,000, I don't know where that's come from.
:06:28. > :06:35.I need to know why there is an entry that says you have
:06:36. > :06:43.When was it and how are you going to prove it?
:06:44. > :06:51.I am very upset and I need to think about the impact on my family
:06:52. > :06:58.and all the children that needed this help.
:06:59. > :07:07.Both women went to the USA to support Nadine's nephew, Kessler,
:07:08. > :07:11.who was undergoing prostate cancer treatment whilst his mother, Kelly,
:07:12. > :07:16.Nadine claims that while Kids and Cancer did give some money,
:07:17. > :07:20.they did not provide the support Mike Heimann promised.
:07:21. > :07:23.I was promised that Mike would pay my wages every
:07:24. > :07:29.I was starting to pester him a little bit because we were running
:07:30. > :07:35.Roz's mother was supporting him while he was there.
:07:36. > :07:38.Every single day she cooked his food, took him to the hospital,
:07:39. > :07:42.brought something to us at the hotel.
:07:43. > :07:45.He paid us on amount into an American bank account
:07:46. > :07:53.Mike Heimann's spending during his frequent charity funded
:07:54. > :07:58.trips to the USA was causing concern at Kids and Cancer.
:07:59. > :08:03.So a couple of days after getting off a plane when he spent ?700,
:08:04. > :08:10.he appears to be in a restaurant in Oklahoma spending ?150 on booze.
:08:11. > :08:15.That's when they first got there and that is all drink.
:08:16. > :08:20.That's Mike Heimann's name on the charity card.
:08:21. > :08:24.There are 30 bottles of Budweiser, three liquid marijuanas,
:08:25. > :08:28.a weapon tank, Jack Daniels and Coke, wine and there
:08:29. > :08:39.Somebody certainly appears to be having a great night out.
:08:40. > :08:42.Back in the UK, Mike Heimann spent thousands of pounds on tickets
:08:43. > :08:48.Here he is with his wife, June, just a few rows back
:08:49. > :08:53.He went on a three-day break to The Open golf tournament in 2013
:08:54. > :08:59.with a group which included his now estranged son, Chris.
:09:00. > :09:02.We just decided to go to the open as a family trip.
:09:03. > :09:04.He said I'll get the tickets and he booked them online
:09:05. > :09:10.Mike Heimann paid the ?492 with the charity's debit card
:09:11. > :09:17.I found out when Bill Wilson his book-keeper approached me,
:09:18. > :09:20.when you went to the golf did you know that the hotel was paid
:09:21. > :09:29.We had words and I got the bill for my share of the hotel.
:09:30. > :09:32.Inside out has obtained a letter from the Charity commission to Kids
:09:33. > :09:36.and Cancer's solicitors dated September 2015.
:09:37. > :09:41.In commission raises concern about inadequate financial controls
:09:42. > :09:44.which failed to protect the charity's assets.
:09:45. > :09:47.It says there is inadequate governance in place
:09:48. > :09:50.and that the charity has a structure that may give rise to unauthorised
:09:51. > :09:59.An action plan was supposed to be put in place before January 2016.
:10:00. > :10:03.Kids and Cancer's offices on this industrial estate in Chesterfield
:10:04. > :10:07.are currently locked up and unoccupied.
:10:08. > :10:10.Mike Heimann and his wife were arrested a fortnight ago over
:10:11. > :10:15.They have been bailed by Derbyshire police until the autumn.
:10:16. > :10:18.The Charity commission has frozen Kids and Cancer's assets
:10:19. > :10:27.We have now heard from Mike Heimann's solicitors.
:10:28. > :10:30.They told us that in the light of the ongoing police
:10:31. > :10:33.investigation their client doesn't think it's appropriate to take
:10:34. > :10:38.They do say though that he denies any wrongdoing and will be able
:10:39. > :10:48.to answer our questions once the investigation is concluded.
:10:49. > :10:51.Next to night, it's an MP's job to represent us in Parliament
:10:52. > :10:55.and that's when they tend to come under the spotlight.
:10:56. > :11:01.However, it was for all the wrong reasons.
:11:02. > :11:04.But there are security concerns when they are back
:11:05. > :11:12.And how much can they really do to help people who turn up
:11:13. > :11:16.at the local offices asking for support?
:11:17. > :11:19.Our cameras have been allowed behind closed doors with the Conservatives'
:11:20. > :11:28.Amanda Solway in Derby and Labour's John Mann in Worksop.
:11:29. > :11:31.I won my constituency by 41 votes and I love every single
:11:32. > :11:54.Everybody who comes to see me I believe has real issue to them.
:11:55. > :11:57.If somebody has taken the trouble to write in,
:11:58. > :12:00.if somebody has taken the trouble to make a phone call, then it means
:12:01. > :12:05.It could be a small issue for everybody else
:12:06. > :12:19.I have power in this and I'll use that power.
:12:20. > :12:22.Yes of course we are supportive of people coming to have fun.
:12:23. > :12:25.We want the night economy to thrive and flourish.
:12:26. > :12:27.But at the same time we recognise there are people
:12:28. > :12:30.who would like to also enjoy the night time entertainment
:12:31. > :12:37.without necessarily the intake of alcohol.
:12:38. > :12:39.Probably had little bit too much to drink.
:12:40. > :12:44.Whether it was mixing drinks, we're not sure.
:12:45. > :12:46.But she has clearly passed out so we're waiting
:12:47. > :12:57.Is there anything I can do to support at the moment?
:12:58. > :13:00.Amanda has been talking to us to see if we can put up
:13:01. > :13:05.a dry bar in the middle of the night economy district.
:13:06. > :13:09.I think it will be a challenge and I have said this to him as well.
:13:10. > :13:14.I think it's going to be difficult to get people to a place
:13:15. > :13:18.where they are not going to be able to drink alcohol but my fingers
:13:19. > :13:21.are crossed and they've got my full support and if there is anything
:13:22. > :13:37.What is crucial is that your wife gets sufficient support
:13:38. > :13:43.from you and you get support from outside.
:13:44. > :13:46.The first thing I noticed was she paid for the house
:13:47. > :13:50.insurer and is twice with two different companies.
:13:51. > :13:52.I dismissed it at the time and thought she had probably
:13:53. > :13:59.Shortly after that they confirmed she had dementia.
:14:00. > :14:06.The nurses and the doctors never come to see her.
:14:07. > :14:09.They don't come once a month, they don't come once every three
:14:10. > :14:12.months, they don't come every six months.
:14:13. > :14:16.Unless I phoned up and asked the doctor nobody comes
:14:17. > :14:23.He was getting no support, it was costing him a lot of money.
:14:24. > :14:28.Which is quite a big result actually.
:14:29. > :14:34.If there is a care plan and he sees and feels
:14:35. > :14:50.confident enough in the plan he is going to be very happy.
:14:51. > :14:53.The biggest thing is you are opening up a really personal issue
:14:54. > :14:59.Therefore, I take it incredibly seriously and it's
:15:00. > :15:17.I have had surgery is that last for nine hours, over 50 people
:15:18. > :15:24.consecutively without a break, in here seeing me. Sometimes they go on
:15:25. > :15:28.and on and on. People want to see their MP and it's called democracy.
:15:29. > :15:40.I am not in a position to let these people down.
:15:41. > :15:49.I wanted some help with my autograph collection. I was having problems
:15:50. > :15:57.getting Samantha Cameron's signature with David Cameron. I was having
:15:58. > :16:03.problems and they would not sign again. Amanda cut the red tape and
:16:04. > :16:11.got straight in there and I had the photograph. She got it in a matter
:16:12. > :16:19.of couple of weeks. Most -- to my shock I want a signed photograph of
:16:20. > :16:27.me. But I have to say he's a great guy.
:16:28. > :16:35.The children's ward is closing and we needed open. They have closed it
:16:36. > :16:40.that night and at weekends and it's no good. It's nice to know that
:16:41. > :16:45.we've got the support and we are we've got the support and we are
:16:46. > :16:59.helping rather than sitting back and doing nothing. We went to see our
:17:00. > :17:06.local MP. Money is very tight and limited and I am single parent so
:17:07. > :17:11.it's very hard. When I started I did surgeries on my own in empty
:17:12. > :17:17.now. I need to do my job. I do my now. I need to do my job. I do my
:17:18. > :17:21.job and I try to be as careful as I job and I try to be as careful as I
:17:22. > :17:35.can. But I don't let it stop me doing my job. Tell me about the rats
:17:36. > :17:45.full stop. I have seen a few. I have got the whole going in at the back
:17:46. > :17:51.of my shed. I know we have got rats. Diane came to us earlier in the year
:17:52. > :17:58.and had a problem with flies. It was a horrendous problem. My husband
:17:59. > :18:05.said get a hammer and hit it but it's cruel. So we managed to resolve
:18:06. > :18:10.that working in partnership with the Environment Agency and the council.
:18:11. > :18:16.It was a real positive outcome. She now has problems with rats.
:18:17. > :18:20.Hopefully with her influence she will be able to get things moving
:18:21. > :18:39.and get it sorted. There are three models in football.
:18:40. > :18:45.You find a wealthy person, you have a group of people who own it or you
:18:46. > :18:53.have a fan ownership. And you have to have grown. I think they know I
:18:54. > :19:01.don't have a magic wand and a load of money. It is a complicated
:19:02. > :19:09.process. It is a lot of work but it sounds exciting. This is a letter
:19:10. > :19:18.from John Mann saying thank you for attending my surgery and I inform
:19:19. > :19:30.you of your ongoing concerns. I think if you have any problems he
:19:31. > :19:37.has come up against a big wall. The visit was amazing because she gave
:19:38. > :19:40.me a platform to 50 or 100 businesses and that was amazing. I
:19:41. > :19:51.would recommend people to see their MPs. I hope people will elect me
:19:52. > :19:57.again but if I've only got from now until 2020 to do what I can do it
:19:58. > :20:03.really is to genuinely help the people of Derby. It's an exciting
:20:04. > :20:06.day today. Going to see John was one of the best things we did and we are
:20:07. > :20:11.going in the right way to take the next step to talk about where we can
:20:12. > :20:24.get funding and things like that to improve this facility. They crowded
:20:25. > :20:29.surgery today. They said my issues are the war in Iraq or my Windows.
:20:30. > :20:40.They said let's do the windows. Our thanks to Amanda Sara Lian 's
:20:41. > :20:44.John Mann for allowing us access. Finally tonight when was the last
:20:45. > :20:50.time you went to a nightclub? Figures show they are not as popular
:20:51. > :20:54.as they used to be. In fact half of the UK's nightclubs have had to
:20:55. > :20:59.close their doors. So why are we not going clubbing any more? Club owner
:21:00. > :21:07.Peter Stringfellow has been to Nottingham to find out more. For
:21:08. > :21:11.decades the late night drinking the dance has been the high point of a
:21:12. > :21:16.good night out. We love dancing with all our friends. I love clubbing.
:21:17. > :21:21.But so many nightclubs are disappearing. The formative years of
:21:22. > :21:29.club any more. So why don't people club any more. So why don't people
:21:30. > :21:32.go as much any more? Because the changing of the licensing laws.
:21:33. > :21:34.People had to go home at 11 o'clock and now they can stay anywhere until
:21:35. > :21:42.2am. And there is online dating. I 2am. And there is online dating. I
:21:43. > :21:46.would not go to a nightclub to pick somebody up because there is no real
:21:47. > :21:54.need. I am Peter Stringfellow and I have been in nightclubs 55 years all
:21:55. > :21:58.around the world. It's the way I make my money and they do very well
:21:59. > :22:06.out of them. By the 1980s my name was all over. It was the most famous
:22:07. > :22:10.club in the country. All this time later it is still going strong with
:22:11. > :22:14.beautiful girls dancing, champagne and of course I'm still there as
:22:15. > :22:19.well. But it was in the 90s unplugging reached its peak. A whole
:22:20. > :22:24.new culture of dance music from famous DJs emerged. On this street
:22:25. > :22:31.in Nottingham on club made a big name for itself. It was an
:22:32. > :22:38.explosion. I got a buzz working at this venue. I love coming to it
:22:39. > :22:43.every night. John Galliano could be working next to you on that. That
:22:44. > :22:50.was normal. You didn't know who is going to turn up. That's how big it
:22:51. > :22:54.was. It was my famous club and now it is a solicitors. It is very
:22:55. > :23:02.difficult to walk down here and now it's all gone. The end of an era.
:23:03. > :23:08.The group that represents nightclub owner says in 2005 there were more
:23:09. > :23:14.than 3000 clubs in the UK, now there are just over 1700. Some like Venus
:23:15. > :23:18.became offices but in Nottingham many have become bars or
:23:19. > :23:28.restaurants. This used to be my club. At this raised area, this is
:23:29. > :23:41.where all the beds were. When you say beds, you mean beds? Mattresses.
:23:42. > :23:46.People had to go home at 11 o'clock and now they can stay anywhere until
:23:47. > :23:52.2am. So what you're saying is simply nightclubs are dead. I think they
:23:53. > :24:00.are dead. A late bar is there but nightclubs are dead. It's Friday
:24:01. > :24:04.night and Nottingham is getting busier. The bars and restaurants are
:24:05. > :24:08.filling up but some clubs are able to compete. This one is just for
:24:09. > :24:15.students and only opens tonight 's week. Wish they had later because
:24:16. > :24:30.the bars close at 2am and you can go all right. I love clubbing.
:24:31. > :24:37.If you have not got an angle nowadays you will struggle. We open
:24:38. > :24:43.tonight 's a week on Wednesday and Friday for each university. A few
:24:44. > :24:49.years ago students were going out five or six nights a week. In the
:24:50. > :24:54.last two or three years the first years to seemed to drink as much as
:24:55. > :25:05.possibly they did five or six years ago. There are more people who are
:25:06. > :25:10.not drinking. Hang on, did he say young people are not thinking as
:25:11. > :25:18.much? According to official figures that's true. One in five 16 to
:25:19. > :25:25.24-year-olds doesn't drink. 6% more nondrinkers than ten years ago. If
:25:26. > :25:30.10am and one group is getting ready to go out. This lot will be drinking
:25:31. > :25:33.but not too much. Tonight we are going to do what we usually do which
:25:34. > :25:39.is corrupt and a few cocktails and have a chat and have a lot of fun.
:25:40. > :25:46.Getting smashed is very overrated. I would be getting out of control
:25:47. > :25:51.tonight. Just like Derby and Leicester Nottingham has lots of
