Ingram-Moores ‘made more than £1m from family link to Captain Tom Foundation’

The family of renowned pandemic fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore made more than a million pounds through their association with the charity set up in his name, a damning report has found. The charities watchdog concluded there had been repeated instances of misconduct by the veteran’s daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband, Colin. Sir Tom became a household name in the pandemic, raising millions for NHS charities by walking laps of his garden in lockdown. But separately, a £1.4 million book deal and an £18,000 awards ceremony appearance fee were among the financial benefits Mr and Mrs Ingram-Moore enjoyed through their family links to the Captain Tom Foundation. A spokesperson for the foundation said it is “imploring the Ingram-Moores to rectify matters by returning the funds due” to the charity.
