Captain Tom’s charity reported to watchdog as daughter gives herself over 50k

[glib]

He may have raised £33 million for the NHS, but Captain Tom’s daughter has awarded herself and her companies over £50,000 of public donation, for ‘photography, accomodation and travel costs’

Captain Tom’s charity has come under fire today after their accounts were published - showing more money has been spent on his daughter’s company and ‘management costs’ than has been spent on DONATING to other organisations…

The total spent by the charity on ‘management’ costs, was £162,000 between May 2020 and May 2021, MORE money than was given to the four trusts they gave grants to.

His daughter Hannah Ingam-Moore rewarded herself with £37,000 and £16, 000, for her two companies, however she has claimed these were reimbursements for a range of costs previously bought for Tom l during his fundraising efforts, including ‘accomodation, security, and PHOTOGRAPHY’

Meanwhile she secretly gave herself nearly £2,000 to cover ‘post and travel costs’.

The Charity Commission, run by the government, has been forced to open a case after eyebrows were raised over the suspicious donations given to her companies.

This happens alot


Some Charities do so well
they get greedy with floating cash

[Cherie]

She should have not had a penny, and any decent person would have absorbed any 'costs incurred' from their personal finances

this charity was set up after he died, and it looks like they have been skimming it ever since

I'd imagine most charities are like this

[rusticgal]

How shameful….they don’t seem a family that are short of a few bob either!!

I'd imagine most charities are like thisMost charities "skim" a heck of a lot more than £160k out of £33 million :joker:.

More like... Half. Sometimes more. :idc:

Think the difference here is there was no need to set it up as a charity, there was no further fundraising, they could have divvied up the cash to various good causes without having to set one up....sounds very dodgy indeed

The £33 million was donated directly to the NHS in April/May 2020, this lady couldn’t get her hands on it

This charity was set up after that, in June 2020, people have donated to it since, and that’s where the 160k has been stolen from

“Hoarse laugh”

tom actually raised money for the nhs and he lifted the spirits of the public when they needed it, so I consider that completely different to the family then setting up a scam charity after he died

Exactly, I think it is appalling what they have done. I appreciate they wanted to keep him memory alive but I think they made a mistake in creating this charity

[thesheriff443]

It costs money to run a charity in reality and it’s not anything new for people who run the charity and those involved to be paid.

The dirty side of it is how much is being paid to those working within the charity.

[Livia]

The money he raised wasn't a one-off, there is a Captain Tom Foundation that continues to receive money and give to good causes. Can't quite believe what I'm reading on this thread... how much do you think it costs to run a charity? Have a drive past some of the big charities - Red Cross, Oxfam, Cancer Research UK - any of them, and take a look at the cars in the car park. It'll give you some idea of the salaries.

tbh I had no idea they set up a charity, or that it was not a one off, the charity hasn't been advertised very well

The £10k that was supposed to be used for advertising was used on ‘photography’ :laugh:

CEOs of charities are amongst the highest paid. The CEO of Cancer Research, Michelle Mitchell, was paid a basic salary of £215,500 between April 2020 and March 2021. It is not unusual for top level employees to be paid well into 6 figures

It's pretty disgraceful though imo, obviously they have to be paid something but money like that paid by ordinary people trying to help those in need is a bit of a slap in the face to them

To be fair, I actually DON'T think £200k is excessive for a CEO position at a large charity, especially when you consider what the CEO's of large for-profit organisations are making. It's actually "only" about £125k take-home.

There are charities where people are making millions though and that is obviously an absolute joke.

Yeah, I don't disagree with you Niamh.

Its a reason I have heard a lot of people using for supporting smaller, local charities as the money is not absorbed on as many salaries.

The big charities get Government help too which smaller ones don't and have to rely on.

[bots]

the problem is in the name .... charity. They raise money by false pretences. It's not really a charity in the true sense of the word. It's an organisation that provides assistance to particular areas of depravation while still paying themselves handsome remuneration.

There is a level of expectation (usually wrong) that charities consist of volunteers that do the work for free. That the majority of donations make there way to the afflicted group and it just doesn't work like that

If Bob Geldofs live aid taught us anything, it was that the majority that participate are in it for the money and or fame. That corruption at every step in the process means that only a tiny proportion of the donated funds actually get to the intended recipients

For me to give to a charity these days, i have to see total transparency on who gets what

I do think that any charity should spend at MOST 25% on running costs, with 75% actually going to charity, or I'd take it as an indication that something isn't right. Either deliberate profiteering or just over-stretching what they're doing vs what they're bringing in. Should be transparent and falling below that for more than a short period of time should trigger someone looking into it and potential loss of charity status.

Reporting today that the greedy cow was appointed CEO of the charity and wanted a £150k salary but the watchdog stepped in a put a stop to her. Even old Tommy boy would have been embarrassed by her audacity and self righteousness.

[LaLaLand]

Really disgraceful behaviour. Shame on her if all turns out to be correct.

[thesheriff443]

The sick truth is that pen pushers or email senders are getting paid a lot of money for doing very little.

People sitting on their arses getting fat drinking coffee moaning how hard things are when others are virtual slaves working until they drop

[Livia]

It's quite mad to think that any charity runs with 100% of the donations reaching those it's meant to. I feel really sorry for this woman having all these harsh words said about her without anyone knowing the whole story. It's outrage journalism.

[Kizzy]

If she has given up her job to help run a foundation in memory of her wonderful dad then that's admirable. Do people expect her to do it for nothing?

Thanks to this there won't be as many donations so all his good work will have been for nothing. We can all go back to giving our money no questions asked to bail out royals.

[UserSince2005]

Close the “charity” and give the money to a real charity.

It was clear from the start that this was nothing but a fame hungry money pigs family

She was on ITV this morning at
the start.

She claims her own business loaned the Charity the Money
that got paid back to her. (£50K)

She said the £150,000 amount is not true.

The accounts should be pretty clear then

I still want to know who paid for the whole pig herd of a family to swan off to Barbados while people were dying.

[UserSince2005]

Watched the Interview, pretty clear to me that she was going for the 150k but got caught and so now is saying it was always just hypothetical.

[UserSince2005]

"weve put over £41m into Charity", what so you deserve a bit of pay back? and that wasnt your money that was the gullible public's money.
I would love to know how much money the family have actually given to charity over the past years. I can bet that they have taken more than they have given.

[GoldHeart]

Never trusted Tom or his family from the start.

But what if Tom was trying to do good when he was alive , maybe he's turning in his grave at what his daughter has done.

When I saw the headline . I didn't realise it was his own family.

I new she was evil
