Captain Tom’s family say they received death threats and hate mail

The family of NHS fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore have said they received death threats and hate mail. 

The daughter of Sir Tom appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, and said: “There is a forum… they were all discussing how they were going to come and kill us all in our beds.”

Hannah Ingram-Moore said her daughter had also received threats by mail. She said the family lived with “an underbelly of hate”.

Sir Tom – who raised £38m for the NHS during Covid – wrote several books before his death. 

Sir Tom’s family have faced criticism as they kept hundreds of thousands of pounds of profit from the books Sir Tom wrote instead of donating the money to Sir Tom’s charity.  

There is no suggestion that his daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore acted illegally by keeping the money. 

But, the charity set up by his family in his honour – The Captain Tom Foundation – is no longer taking donations and is currently the subject of a statutory inquiry by The Charity Commission.

Ingram-Moore said: “We haven’t been that family who’s tried to take his legacy and make it for our own gain.

“We’ve tried our best to do the right thing and sometimes it’s turned out it wasn’t – but not through intent.”
