Captain Tom Moore’s Daughter Expresses Regret Over Controversial Charity
Hannah Ingram-Moore acknowledges the charity in her late father’s name caused personal and public fallout, but disputes allegations of dishonesty.
- Captain Tom Moore’s daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, expressed her family’s 'deepest regret' over creating the Captain Tom Foundation, which she says 'completely derailed' their lives.
- The Charity Commission found the family personally benefited from the charity, earning over £1 million through questionable practices, including keeping £800,000 from book sales initially implied to support the charity.
- Ms. Ingram-Moore denied any intent to mislead the public, stating her late father wanted the book proceeds to benefit the family and that there was 'nothing dishonest' about their actions.
- The charity faced criticism for spending more on management than charitable grants in its first year and for the construction of an unauthorized spa complex at the family’s home, which was later demolished.
- Hannah and Colin Ingram-Moore were barred from serving as charity trustees for eight and ten years respectively, following a Charity Commission inquiry into mismanagement and conflicts of interest.
