Captain Tom charity: Story gets more squalid for public but luxurious for family – furious reactions

"The whole Captain Tom business really was a masterclass of grift, marrying public anxiety to the twin state religions of the NHS and the Second World War."

The Captain Tom charity fall out has been one of the saddest ends to what seemed to be a moment that brought everyone together during the pandemic.

Few people will forget the veteran 99-year-old lapping his garden to raise money for the NHS during the pandemic.

Now Captain Tom’s daughter is accused of using ‘hero veteran’s name to build spa and pool complex at home.’

Captain Tom charity

His daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore and husband Colin submitted a planning bid for an office for the charity set up in the fundraiser’s name.

They used the charity’s name in the statements they submitted over heritage, and design and access.

Back in August 2021, the couple said they “urgently” needed space for presentations and memorabilia.

They received permission for an annex but a retrospective application for the spa was refused last year.

Unaware

The charity’s trustees said: “At no time were The Captain Tom Foundation’s independent trustees aware of planning permissions made by Mr and Mrs Ingram-Moore purporting to be in the foundation’s name.

“Had they been aware of any applications, the independent trustees would not have authorised them.”

The Charity Commission is already looking into after “concerns about the charity’s management, including about the charity’s independence from the family of the late Captain Sir Tom Moore and businesses connected to them”.

The best way to honour the memory of Captain Tom would be a properly-funded NHS that isn't reliant on charity fundraising

I remember being lambasted for questioning WTF was going on with Captain Tom, his odious daughter and the media controlling the population by exploiting the old man. https://t.co/MB1JRGedcq

I do believe Captain Tom was an honourable man. However, the grifters he spawned and who exploited him were not.

Captain Tom is an example of how broken and grifting most charities in the UK are, over paid executives, money mostly spent on advertising and almost nothing goes to actual Charity.

Be very careful who you donate to, otherwise you merely feed scammers pic.twitter.com/HzjBqwrXqs

Harsh or fair?

Knew it was coming; everyone knew she was using the money herself. A very evil and wicked woman.

Ouch

Captain Tom's family have done almost as much to tarnish the reputation of charities as, well, Oxfam, haven't they?
