The family of Sir Captain Tom Moore, the UK war veteran who became a global hero for his fundraising efforts during the COVID pandemic, gained 'significant' financial benefit from links to a charity set up in his name, Britian's charity watchdog has found.
In a 30-page report, the Charity Commission said there had been repeated instances of misconduct by Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband.The daughter and son-in-law of Captain Sir Tom Moore , a British veteran who raised millions for the NHS , gained financial benefit from links to a charity set up in his name, a UK watchdog has found.
Images of the stooped but dapper veteran with his military service medals pinned to his blazer lifted the nation's spirits as it struggled with a mounting death toll and fears about the future. An advance of about $2.7 million was paid to a company of which the Ingram-Moores were directors for a three-book deal, though none of the money went to the foundation, the commission said.
They described the process as "excessive" and accused the watchdog of of having a "pre-determined agenda". He said this resulted in the couple "receiving significant personal benefit", adding that the failings amounted to "misconduct and/or mismanagement". The report's authors said the inquiry could not see how Captain Sir Tom's words would be "interpreted as anything other" than that proceeds would "flow to the charity".
