Captain Tom’s family made more than £1m through link to charity, damning report finds
Captain Tom Moore’s family “repeatedly benefited” financially from a charity created in his name, engaging in a “pattern of behaviour” that saw them personally earn more than £1m from their involvement, a highly critical report has found.
Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin, who are now disqualified from serving as charity trustees, had allowed the public to “understandably feel misled” after sales from the Second World War veteran’s autobiography were not donated to the charity.
The Charity Commission found that Ms Ingram-Moore had set out expectations for a £150,000 salary as CEO, and that the couple had used the charity’s name “inappropriately for private benefit” to erect a spa building in the garden of their Grade II listed home in Bedfordshire.
