The decision to close the charity was announced in February, days after new revelations emerged about her friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Documents released by the US Department of Justice indicated Ms Ferguson visited Epstein with her daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, shortly after his release from prison in 2009.
