:00:09. > :00:10.This week, the Humber Bridge gets cultured.
:00:11. > :00:12.And we look concerns over how money supposed to help
:00:13. > :00:22.children with cancer appears to have been spent.
:00:23. > :00:27.Tonight, questions about the fundraising tactics of the head
:00:28. > :00:30.of the children's cancer charity and his use of the
:00:31. > :00:41.I have always thought that he was genuinely trying to help
:00:42. > :00:42.children that really, really needed help,
:00:43. > :00:49.On the trail of the dog owners who leave a mess behind.
:00:50. > :00:52.Has he given you permission for your dog to foul on his land?
:00:53. > :00:56.And later in the programme, making music with the sounds
:00:57. > :01:05.Now, when you donate to charity, you hope that the money raised
:01:06. > :01:11.The charity Kids 'n' Cancer, based in Chesterfield,
:01:12. > :01:15.claims to have helped 150 children since it was set up in 2010.
:01:16. > :01:21.But Inside Out has heard worrying allegations about how money
:01:22. > :01:24.is raised and the use of the charity's bank account.
:01:25. > :01:38.Now, if you want to start a charity to raise as much money as possible,
:01:39. > :01:40.I don't think you can get better words than these...
:01:41. > :01:43.Kids - we all want to protect kids ? and cancer.
:01:44. > :01:47.Put them together and surely that is no more emotionally charged
:01:48. > :01:50.And who could argue that it is not a worthy cause?
:01:51. > :01:54.But tonight, Inside Out can reveal serious concerns about how
:01:55. > :01:58.the charity Kids 'N' Cancer has been run.
:01:59. > :02:04.All the children that you will see on the screen tonight are people
:02:05. > :02:07.that you have helped by coming and supporting Kids 'n'
:02:08. > :02:10.Cancer, and you know we have never turned a child down.
:02:11. > :02:13.Mike Hyman, the CEO, founder and trustee,
:02:14. > :02:21.It has had an income of more than ?2 million.
:02:22. > :02:22.But where has that money really gone?
:02:23. > :02:29.How many children has he actually helped, or how many families has
:02:30. > :02:31.he actually supported and gone through with his promises?
:02:32. > :02:35.I have always thought that he was genuinely trying to help
:02:36. > :02:37.children that really, really needed help,
:02:38. > :02:44.A former book-keeper, a trustee of the charity
:02:45. > :02:46.and even his own son have spoken to Derbyshire Police
:02:47. > :02:51.It is not a proud moment to say anything bad about your dad,
:02:52. > :02:54.because everyone wants their dad to be their hero, don't they?
:02:55. > :03:01.Now, it says here on the Kids 'n' Cancer website that they have
:03:02. > :03:03.helped 150 children since they were formed in 2010.
:03:04. > :03:05.There is no proton beam therapy in this country.
:03:06. > :03:09.Next year, the first of two UK centres will open
:03:10. > :03:12.in Manchester, costing hundreds of millions of pounds.
:03:13. > :03:16.Until then, the NHS funds some children to receive it abroad.
:03:17. > :03:19.Kids 'n' Cancer claimed it would find those who were turned
:03:20. > :03:21.down and pay the expenses of those who where funded.
:03:22. > :03:23.The charity's promotional booklet tells the story
:03:24. > :03:31.And Alex Barnes' is an uplifting one.
:03:32. > :03:34.There are pages and pages on his treatment in the USA,
:03:35. > :03:36.and he features prominently on the charity's website
:03:37. > :03:40.as well, as one of those Mike Hyman had helped.
:03:41. > :03:46.I received zero money for Alex's treatment from Kids 'n' Cancer,
:03:47. > :03:52.I was originally quite happy for Alex to feature
:03:53. > :03:57.as the poster boy, if you like, for the charity because we believe
:03:58. > :04:04.in the treatment and we believed in the charity.
:04:05. > :04:06.It was the people of the East Midlands that donated
:04:07. > :04:09.the money that saved my son and that is why he is
:04:10. > :04:12.But, last November, Alex was once again the poster
:04:13. > :04:16.boy at the charity's winter fundraising ball.
:04:17. > :04:21.He and his family agreed to raise money.
:04:22. > :04:25.Kids 'n' Cancer was set up to help families and children
:04:26. > :04:27.who were not funded, who fell outside the net
:04:28. > :04:37.And we have 13 children and the first child to be treated,
:04:38. > :04:40.Brandon Bell, in America, he is now seven years in remission.
:04:41. > :04:43.But Brandon Bell is another child whose treatment Mike Hyman falsely
:04:44. > :04:51.The ?200,000 to send him to the USA for proton beam therapy was raised
:04:52. > :04:58.This cheque presentation marked the final ?10,000 needed.
:04:59. > :05:05.He claims his charity gave the money, but it was in fact given
:05:06. > :05:11.by Cancer Relief UK, before Kids 'n' Cancer even started.
:05:12. > :05:14.We wanted to find out how many of the 13 children had actually
:05:15. > :05:18.So we asked Kids 'n' Cancer to provide us
:05:19. > :05:31.The accounts reveal more than ?2 million of income since 2010,
:05:32. > :05:34.and it is unclear how many children have been treated from those funds.
:05:35. > :05:38.Bill Wilson worked as book-keeper for the charity before he raised
:05:39. > :05:43.Cash payments featured regularly in the charity's books,
:05:44. > :05:51.but this one, for ?5,000, stood out to him.
:05:52. > :05:54.I got the 5000 off the monthly bank statements and I was inputting it.
:05:55. > :06:00.That is the limit of what a Kids 'n' Cancer debit card
:06:01. > :06:07.I was told it was a cash grant to two ladies ?
:06:08. > :06:15.I asked him why he had not done it by electronic transfer for such
:06:16. > :06:18.a large amount and he said, these ladies were poor and they had
:06:19. > :06:24.Roz Barnes is a designer for online fashion boutique.
:06:25. > :06:26.Roz Barnes is a designer for an online fashion boutique.
:06:27. > :06:28.Nadine Wilson works as a cabin crew member
:06:29. > :06:33.Inside Out informed them that they appear on the charity's
:06:34. > :06:40.books as having received this ?5,000 cash.
:06:41. > :06:48.There is also a further entry of ?1,000 cash
:06:49. > :06:52.That ?5,000, I don't know where that has come
:06:53. > :06:58.Because it did not come to me or Roz.
:06:59. > :07:02.I need to know why there is an entry that says that you have
:07:03. > :07:07.What on earth for, when was it, and how are you going to prove it?
:07:08. > :07:09.Because I can prove that you didn't. I am very upset.
:07:10. > :07:17.I need to think about the impact on my family, but also
:07:18. > :07:19.all the children in need of this help.
:07:20. > :07:24.Did they not get it? Did they get this help or not?
:07:25. > :07:29.Both women went to the USA to support Nadine's nephew
:07:30. > :07:31.who was undergoing prostate cancer treatment whilst his mother, Kelly,
:07:32. > :07:36.Nadine claims that while Kids 'n' Cancer did give some money,
:07:37. > :07:39.they did not provide the support Mike Hyman promised.
:07:40. > :07:44.I was promised that Mike would pay my wages.
:07:45. > :07:51.I started to pester him a little bit because we were running out
:07:52. > :07:53.of money and, you know, we could not eat.
:07:54. > :07:56.Roz's mother was supporting us while we were there.
:07:57. > :08:02.Every single day, she cooked us food, took some to the hospital,
:08:03. > :08:07.He paid us one amount into an American bank account,
:08:08. > :08:13.Mike Hyman's spending during his frequent charity funding
:08:14. > :08:17.trips to the USA was causing concern at Kids 'n' Cancer.
:08:18. > :08:20.On one flight alone, he spent more than ?700.
:08:21. > :08:23.He told the trustees it was for food.
:08:24. > :08:26.Do you have to pay for meals on a transatlantic flight?
:08:27. > :08:34.So, Bill, a couple of days after getting off a plane
:08:35. > :08:37.where he had spent ?700, he appears to be in a restaurant
:08:38. > :08:45.That is when they first got there. And that is all drink.
:08:46. > :08:50.There is Mike Hyman's name on the charity card.
:08:51. > :08:57.There is 30 bottles of Budweiser, three Liquid Marijuanas,
:08:58. > :08:59.a Jack Daniels and Coke, wine, oh, and there's
:09:00. > :09:11.Well, somebody tell me appears to be having a great night out.
:09:12. > :09:19.Back in the UK, Mike Hyman spent thousands of pounds on tickets
:09:20. > :09:26.Here he is with his wife, June, just a few rows back
:09:27. > :09:30.And large sums of cash appear to have been taken out
:09:31. > :09:33.In a matter of weeks in the summer of 2015, for instance,
:09:34. > :09:37.This cheque for ?800, made out to his wife, is jointly
:09:38. > :09:44.signed by her and Mike Hyman from the charity's bank account.
:09:45. > :09:47.He went on a three-day break to The Open golf tournament in 2013,
:09:48. > :09:50.with a group that included his now estranged son, Chris.
:09:51. > :09:52.We just decided to go to The Open as a family trip.
:09:53. > :09:55.I just said, I will get the tickets, booked them online.
:09:56. > :10:04.Mike Hyman paid the ?492 with the charity's debit card,
:10:05. > :10:09.I found out when Bill Wilson, who is the book-keeper,
:10:10. > :10:11.approached me and said, when you went to the golf,
:10:12. > :10:14.did you know that the hotel was paid for by the charity?
:10:15. > :10:16.I went, no, no idea. I confronted my dad.
:10:17. > :10:18.I fell out with him, basically. We had words.
:10:19. > :10:22.And I got a bill for my share of the hotel.
:10:23. > :10:28.Inside Out has obtained a letter from the Charity Commission to Kids
:10:29. > :10:33.'n' Cancer's solicitors dated September 20 15.
:10:34. > :10:35.In it, the commission raises concerns about inadequate financial
:10:36. > :10:41.controls, which fail to protect the charity's assets.
:10:42. > :10:44.It says that there is inadequate governance in place and the charity
:10:45. > :10:46.has a structure that may give rise to unauthorised personal
:10:47. > :10:54.Kids 'n' Cancer's office is on this industrial estate in Chesterfield
:10:55. > :10:58.and is currently locked up and unoccupied.
:10:59. > :11:01.Mike Hyman and his wife, June, were arrested a fortnight ago.
:11:02. > :11:03.It was to do with allegations of theft.
:11:04. > :11:09.They have been bailed by Derbyshire Police until the autumn.
:11:10. > :11:11.The Charity Commission has frozen the charity's assets
:11:12. > :11:14.Mr Hyman's solicitor has told Inside Out that in light
:11:15. > :11:17.of the ongoing police investigation, their client does not feel
:11:18. > :11:19.it is appropriate to take part in our programme.
:11:20. > :11:22.They do say, though, that he denies any wrongdoing
:11:23. > :11:25.and once the police investigation is concluded, he will be able
:11:26. > :11:42.Now, it is a dirty problem and very annoying if you step in it.
:11:43. > :11:47.And despite all the bins and all the signs, some owners
:11:48. > :11:54.But woe betide you if you leave a mess in Barnsley.
:11:55. > :12:00.Lucy Hester has been finding out more.
:12:01. > :12:04.It has got to be one of the great pleasures in life ? taking your dog
:12:05. > :12:09.for a walk in beautiful countryside on a gorgeous day.
:12:10. > :12:16.But with ownership comes responsibility.
:12:17. > :12:18.Dog walking at places like this beauty spot
:12:19. > :12:20.in South Yorkshire is one of Britain's most
:12:21. > :12:28.If you do the number crunching, there are around 3 billion dog
:12:29. > :12:40.And for the owners of this reservoir, Yorkshire water,
:12:41. > :12:48.cleaning up after dog poo costs a pretty pile.
:12:49. > :12:52.This is a really expensive problem and it is not just the council that
:12:53. > :12:58.This reservoir is owned by Yorkshire Water and they have
:12:59. > :13:00.to pay out thousands of pounds every year, cleaning up after
:13:01. > :13:06.We get around 2 million visitors to our reservoir sites
:13:07. > :13:10.A high proportion of these are dog walkers.
:13:11. > :13:13.The vast majority of dog walkers do clean up after their dogs.
:13:14. > :13:15.But, unfortunately, there is a small, negligent
:13:16. > :13:18.So, is there a cost involved in tackling
:13:19. > :13:24.We have spent in the region of ?60,000 in the last five years.
:13:25. > :13:27.This money has been spent installing bins around some of our most popular
:13:28. > :13:30.We have a partnership year with Barnsley Council
:13:31. > :13:32.and they regularly service and empty our bins.
:13:33. > :13:33.Yorkshire Water's partnership with Barnsley Council
:13:34. > :13:42.This guy says, today, I was given a fixed penalty notice
:13:43. > :13:51.The officer stated that he had seen her do a poo from the car park...
:13:52. > :13:53.Leslie is in charge of Barnsley's efforts to cut dog
:13:54. > :13:56.Those efforts mean that in the past two years,
:13:57. > :13:59.Barnsley has handed out more fixed penalty notices for dog fouling
:14:00. > :14:01.than any other local authority in Britain.
:14:02. > :14:04.In 2015, an astonishing 8% of all fines for not picking up dog
:14:05. > :14:10.Over 600 of Barnsley's dog walkers have had a ?50 fine
:14:11. > :14:21.The officer also told me that he had a glove in his pocket and had felt
:14:22. > :14:25.I am amazed, actually, because this sounds like a very
:14:26. > :14:33.Do you want to show me what it is that you do?
:14:34. > :14:40.Leslie leads a team of 14 dog officers who patrol
:14:41. > :14:48.Those caught get a ?50 fine on the spot.
:14:49. > :14:51.Often, when owners are confronted, they do not appreciate it.
:14:52. > :14:54.Has he given you permission for your dogs to foul on his land?
:14:55. > :15:04.This park is very popular with dog walkers in Barnsley.
:15:05. > :15:08.Today, walking around, you can see it is quite clean.
:15:09. > :15:13.They are out in uniform, so everyone knows that they are here.
:15:14. > :15:15.So that probably puts all the non-responsible dog owners
:15:16. > :15:21.on their best behaviour, I would have thought.
:15:22. > :15:26.I would imagine today, they won't do it.
:15:27. > :15:30.So, we will come in of a day where we have our officers in plain
:15:31. > :15:34.Because they have no uniform on, the people will do it.
:15:35. > :15:36.I grabbed a word with some dog walkers about
:15:37. > :15:39.What do you think about the on the spot fines?
:15:40. > :15:45.Do you? I do, yeah.
:15:46. > :15:47.I think it is good, the instant fine.
:15:48. > :15:50.You like what the enforcement people are doing?
:15:51. > :15:55.Yes, should be done. Should be a bigger fine, I think.
:15:56. > :15:58.Bigger than the 50 quid standard at the moment?
:15:59. > :16:02.And take it out of their bank account.
:16:03. > :16:04.Wherever in Barnsley, we will go there.
:16:05. > :16:10.Not all dog owners appreciate the efforts
:16:11. > :16:20.How do you find people are with you when you offer them bags?
:16:21. > :16:22.Some are rude. Others are grateful.
:16:23. > :16:24.Yeah. Do you get quite a bit of hostility?
:16:25. > :16:26.Yes. Do you?
:16:27. > :16:32.Clamping down on dog poo pests costs Barnsley Council
:16:33. > :16:39.But should it be so high on the council's list of priorities?
:16:40. > :16:41.According to Councillor Charlie Raith, constituents tell him
:16:42. > :16:43.it is their number one, or should that be their
:16:44. > :16:47.We had a public consultation asking what their priorities are and dog
:16:48. > :16:50.And littering and indiscriminate parking.
:16:51. > :16:52.That is one of the issues that concerns people most?
:16:53. > :16:58.In my particular area, and I can't speak for all
:16:59. > :17:00.of Barnsley or whatever, but my particular area, yes.
:17:01. > :17:07.And there is a serious point to be made here.
:17:08. > :17:09.We were talking at this cemetery, where Charlie's wife is buried.
:17:10. > :17:13.So he takes it personally when he finds graves covered in dog
:17:14. > :17:17.Behind us is a grave of a friend of mine as well.
:17:18. > :17:20.I came one day and that was absolutely covered in dog poo.
:17:21. > :17:29.The actual stone and where the flowers go.
:17:30. > :17:31.Now, if his family were to have seen that before me,
:17:32. > :17:36.You shouldn't have to do these things.
:17:37. > :17:42.People with dogs, please be responsible.
:17:43. > :17:45.Bins and signs have been placed in the cemetery but the cost
:17:46. > :17:47.of maintaining them means that the council cannot
:17:48. > :17:52.provide as many of them as people would like.
:17:53. > :17:58.Meanwhile, our dog patrol has moved on to Wombwell in South Barnsley.
:17:59. > :18:00.Some dog owners are flinging faeces into hedges beside
:18:01. > :18:07.This responsible dog owner blames a lack of bins.
:18:08. > :18:09.They have rung up and said, there is no money.
:18:10. > :18:16.Fair enough, there is no money, but how much did people get
:18:17. > :18:27.If you throw it in the hedge, it is a littering offence and ?75.
:18:28. > :18:29.75. It is about, where is it going?
:18:30. > :18:38.Can't we have a thing put there? If you want us to pick it up...
:18:39. > :18:42.I have worked for the Council, part of the council.
:18:43. > :18:51.What they tell me is that the bin actually costs ?1500, for the bin.
:18:52. > :19:03.At ?1500 to install and the same to maintain annually,
:19:04. > :19:08.It is clear that the most effective method to keep the streets clean
:19:09. > :19:12.Here in Barnsley, they are trying their best and managing
:19:13. > :19:15.But, obviously, it is the responsible dog
:19:16. > :19:19.It doesn't matter if it is 50, 150 or 250, whatever it takes
:19:20. > :19:24.to stop these people needs to be done.
:19:25. > :19:28.Right on cue, now that the cameras are here, Molly has left us a little
:19:29. > :19:32.So, like responsible dog owners, I am going to pick it up.
:19:33. > :19:35.It is certain not the most pleasant of jobs, but if every dog
:19:36. > :19:44.owner up every time, that really would be a scoop.
:19:45. > :19:47.Now, Hull's year as UK City of Culture is well under way.
:19:48. > :19:49.The people of the city and its visitors have already been
:19:50. > :19:54.But now that huge great wind turbine blade has gone, what is next?
:19:55. > :20:09.Here in Leeds, something magical is taking place.
:20:10. > :20:11.Musicians from Opera North are putting the finishing touches
:20:12. > :20:14.to a recording which will invoke the essence of one of
:20:15. > :20:21.And this is what it is all about, the mighty Humber Bridge.
:20:22. > :20:25.Many of us will have driven across the bridge,
:20:26. > :20:27.taking in the sights of the Humber River.
:20:28. > :20:30.But this unique project is hoping to inspire people to walk
:20:31. > :20:38.along its mile long length and get lost in incredible sounds.
:20:39. > :20:41.Hull's links to Scandinavia go back many centuries.
:20:42. > :20:44.So composers from Norway have been chosen to create a musical
:20:45. > :20:55.Today, in Arctic temperatures, these men are walking the bridge
:20:56. > :21:00.Even for a Norwegian, it is really cold here today
:21:01. > :21:02.and it has been snowing and raining and everything.
:21:03. > :21:05.It is a fantastic construction and it is so much
:21:06. > :21:13.But it has been interesting to walk across the bridge together
:21:14. > :21:16.and actually hear the sound of the bridge itself.
:21:17. > :21:34.Uniquely, it is the noises that the bridge makes
:21:35. > :21:36.which will form the basis of the piece.
:21:37. > :21:39.Field recordist Jez Riley French has been given the job
:21:40. > :21:42.That means venturing into vast areas of the bridge
:21:43. > :21:46.This is really extraordinary, isn't it?
:21:47. > :21:49.This is where the bridge is anchored to the bedrock by massive cables.
:21:50. > :21:52.And then, Jez leads us through a trapdoor into a cavernous
:21:53. > :21:55.Are we just suspended over the water?
:21:56. > :21:57.Pretty much. Yeah, good, great!
:21:58. > :22:01.Jez's microphones are so sensitive, they pick up all the signs the naked
:22:02. > :22:09.You can feel the vibrations of the traffic.
:22:10. > :22:15.And I have to admit, I was very sceptical when Jez
:22:16. > :22:18.started testing the railings on the bridge to see which one
:22:19. > :22:33.Jez sticks little contact microphones onto the railings
:22:34. > :22:50.Wow. I take everything back.
:22:51. > :22:59.And it is these raw sounds that Jan and his team have been
:23:00. > :23:02.transforming into a piece for orchestra and chorus.
:23:03. > :23:11.And the plan is to use the voice of a little child that
:23:12. > :23:16.says something like, look to the left.
:23:17. > :23:19.So, while walking across the bridge, you look to your left
:23:20. > :23:23.This beautiful sound of the orchestra starts playing.
:23:24. > :23:42.Yes, beautiful. It is beautiful.
:23:43. > :23:52.Today, the Opera North orchestra is recording its part.
:23:53. > :24:01.It is a truly beautiful sound, produced by a top-class orchestra.
:24:02. > :24:05.How could we blend different instruments into that?
:24:06. > :24:07.Building melodies on top of it, or chords, sounds,
:24:08. > :24:18.The music just felt like it was a natural blood
:24:19. > :24:21.Some of these musicians are using the instruments
:24:22. > :24:36.Recording the music is one thing, but this object is a bit
:24:37. > :24:40.As people walk across the bridge, they will wear headsets
:24:41. > :24:46.which will be triggered at certain points to play music, or narration.
:24:47. > :24:49.Today, we want to just make sure that everything we have
:24:50. > :24:56.But in such an exposed place, will people be
:24:57. > :25:07.As soon as you put the headphones on, there is no wind,
:25:08. > :25:09.just a bit of traffic in the background.
:25:10. > :25:14.Crossing the bridge itself will have its own challenges.
:25:15. > :25:16.But Jo and the team are feeling confident.
:25:17. > :25:19.What is particularly amazing about this is it makes you look at
:25:20. > :25:25.You look at everything more carefully.
:25:26. > :25:30.At Bude Park Primary School in Hull, one of Opera North's singing
:25:31. > :25:35.schools, auditions are taking place for the voice of the Humber Bridge.
:25:36. > :25:38.The child who will be the narrator on the walk.
:25:39. > :25:42.After a bit of arguing about who is going first
:25:43. > :25:45.and a last-minute coaching session from Jenny...
:25:46. > :25:58.But if the sign says I am a hyena, then I am a hyena.
:25:59. > :26:05.The children have been preparing hard for this
:26:06. > :26:09.Search for places you know because there is nothing beyond.
:26:10. > :26:18.It has been so difficult that there is not a clear winner.
:26:19. > :26:21.So we're just going to have to talk about it more, I think,
:26:22. > :26:31.Back at Opera North, the choral parts have arrived
:26:32. > :26:34.and the chorus has one day to learn and record them.
:26:35. > :26:38.That is a challenge, because it is quite opposite
:26:39. > :26:42.With no words, the music is a bit otherworldly.
:26:43. > :27:00.Part of the problem is really know our bits and there
:27:01. > :27:03.is at least seven other layers, as far as I can tell.
:27:04. > :27:08.So I have no idea what the end product is going to be.
:27:09. > :27:14.My name is Katie and I'm going to keep you company
:27:15. > :27:18.At Bude Park primary, the last piece of the jigsaw
:27:19. > :27:26.Eight-year-old Katie Smith has been chosen as the voice of the Humber
:27:27. > :27:31.Bridge. It will be weird hearing myself but it is going to be pretty
:27:32. > :27:35.cool. It is a long walk ahead. I hope you have strong shoes. It has
:27:36. > :27:38.been many months since the composers been many months since the composers
:27:39. > :27:43.got their first sight of the mighty Humber Bridge and started on the
:27:44. > :27:48.journey to capture its heart and soul. This is the moment of truth. I
:27:49. > :27:52.am about to get a sneak preview of the finished article. I cannot wait
:27:53. > :28:04.to hear what it sounds like. Look up.
:28:05. > :28:14.This is an extraordinary, soaring piece of music.
:28:15. > :28:20.To think it came originally from the very sounds of the bridge itself, it
:28:21. > :28:28.only really makes sense when you are out here. It is fantastic.
:28:29. > :28:35.I hate to tell you this, but tickets for the Humber Bridge event are
:28:36. > :28:40.completely sold out. So you can't just turn up. Take a look at the
:28:41. > :28:49.Hull 2017 website for more details. That is it for the series of Inside
:28:50. > :28:56.Out. . I will be back in the autumn. Until then, from us, goodbye.
