Madeleine�s Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned Limited has three stated main objectives:
� To secure the safe return to her family of Madeleine McCann who was abducted in Praia da Luz, Portugal on Thursday 3rd May 2007;
� To procure that Madeleine�s abduction is thoroughly investigated and that her abductors, as well as those who played or play any part in assisting them, are identified and brought to justice; and
{the most relevant to this thread}
� To provide support, including financial assistance, to Madeleine�s family.

The fund is a limited company because a registered charity must demonstrate public benefit i.e. could not operate as a vehicle to aid just one child.
Although the McCann's may have previously stated no intention to use the fund for legal expenses, today (Wednesday) saw 5 of the 7 fund directors (2 are family members and declared an interest) vote on the matter. The board ruled that the fund will not be available for the McCann's legal expenses. The result did not sit well with one of the abstaining directors, John McCann brother of Gerry.
