Captain Tom Foundation Faces Scrutiny Over Misconduct by Daughter and Son-in-Law

A Charity Commission report reveals financial mismanagement and personal gain by Hannah and Colin Ingram-Moore, tarnishing the legacy of the late pandemic hero Captain Sir Tom Moore.

The Charity Commission found Hannah and Colin Ingram-Moore guilty of repeated misconduct, including using the Captain Tom Foundation for personal financial benefit exceeding £1 million.
A £1.5 million book deal advance, intended to benefit the foundation, was retained by the couple's private company, Club Nook, with no donations made to the charity despite public expectations.
The couple used the foundation's name to support a planning application for a private spa facility at their home, later demolished after a council ruling and public backlash.
Hannah Ingram-Moore received £18,000 for judging an awards ceremony while serving as the foundation's interim CEO, a conflict of interest unapproved by trustees, with only £2,000 going to the charity.
The report highlights a pattern of blurred boundaries between private and charitable interests, leading to the couple's disqualification from serving as charity trustees for 10 and 8 years, respectively.
