Captain Sir Tom Moore: Charity stops donations and payments

[bots]

The Captain Tom Foundation is no longer taking donations or making payments due to an ongoing inquiry into its finances.

The Charity Commission is looking into the foundation amid concerns his family may have profited from using his name.

Capt Sir Tom Moore's daughter and husband used the charity's name on a planning application for a building later used as a spa.

The foundation and Hannah Ingram-Moore have been contacted for comment.

The Army veteran walked 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden at the start of lockdown, raising £33m for NHS Charities Together.

Capt Sir Tom, who was born in Keighley in West Yorkshire and died in 2021 aged 100, carried out the fundraising walk at his home when Covid restrictions were first introduced in 2020.

After he became a national figure, his family set up a separate charity in his name.

In a statement on the Captain Tom Foundation website, the charity said its "sole focus...is to ensure that it cooperates fully with the on-going statutory inquiry by the Charity Commission".

"As a result, the Captain Tom Foundation is not presently actively seeking any funding from donors. Accordingly, we have also taken the decision to close all payment channels whilst the statutory inquiry remains open," it said.

The statement said when the inquiry concludes it "will be in a better position to make a decision in relation to its future".

When the inquiry was launched in June last year, the Charity Commission said "concerns have mounted" over the charity and independence from a business run by Capt Sir Tom's family.

It's taken the charity commission a year to do anything about them

never give to charities

Always knew he was a rotten one, should have known his family were the same.
He clearly wanted the fame, and his daughter evidently wanted the cash.
What a clever scheming duo, taking the British public as fools.
Not me though.
I've been calling him out for his fame hungry ways since the very start, look back at my past posts.

It’s a disgrace…I don’t suppose Sir Tom set out to exploit the public to line the pockets of his youngest daughter and her family.
They obviously have wealth to live in the property they are in. 33m rolled in and they clearly wanted some of it for themselves.
They have bought shame on their fathers memory…

What's all this about her "reportedly" using £1.2million of the charity money to build a personal spa and pool next to her house, have you seen?

Shocking! :omgno:

I don’t get it because she has already been caught out doing these kind of things in the past so why would she then go ahead and do something even more brazen lol

Sir Tom was a true gentleman and hero

Unfortunately living in the same world as heroes, you have low life’s

Yeah that’s my take on things ..

It’s his son in law who’s probably taken advantage of the ‘situation’

Tom's initial target was 1,000 it snowballed once the press got the story and partly due to lockdown people took him to their hearts, its shameful his daughter has done this but it does not take away from his achievement

i think Tom was trying to do something good and raise moral of people when they were feeling low. All the talk at the time was around the NHS workers and raising money for the NHS and i'm sure all of that initial money found it's way to the correct place. It was the daughter cashing in afterward that was the problem

Yes the Council have stated the New Spa

Wrong to use Charity Public money
for that.


Real Corrupt
