Cancer charity boss uses donations to try and build a 200ft dragon statue in Wales

>Mr Wingett invested £410,000 of the charity's earnings into a project for the 210ft sculpture in Chirk, Wrexham.

>The bronze dragon had planning permission to be erected on a former colliery site near the A5.

>His charity, Frank Wingett Cancer Relief, was set up by his father to buy equipment and resources for cancer patients in Wrexham and the surrounding area, after he was diagnosed with throat cancer in the 1980s.

>Its last payment in 2011 to Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board was for £4,500.

>Following an investigation by the Charity Commission, which began in 2017, Mr Wingett was banned from acting as a trustee of any charity for 10 years.

>He has now been ordered by the High Court to pay more than £117,000, which will be distributed to local charities supporting the relief of cancer patients treated in Wrexham.

>The charity regulator said on Thursday that the dragon statue project had "no connection to advancing the charity's aims and, to date, no statue has been built".

Unfortunately they caught him before he could actually build it
