Family of Captain Sir Tom Moore face formal inquiry into charity setup

Watchdogs have launched a formal investigation into concerns that the family of NHS fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore personally profited from the charity set up in his name.

It will also look into allegations of mismanagement in the administration of the foundation, and whether it had complied with charity law, as well as its handling of potential conflicts of interest with companies connected to the Ingram-Moore family. “We do not take any decision to open an inquiry lightly, but in this case our concerns have mounted. We consider it in the public interest to examine them through a formal investigation, which gives us access to the full range of our protective and enforcement powers.”

It said it had stepped in to prevent the foundation appointing Hannah Ingram-Moore as its chief executive on a £100,000-a-year salary in July 2021, as this was “neither reasonable not justifiable”. It had also questioned an earlier attempt to appoint her on a £60,000, three-day-a-week role. Stephen Jones, the chair of trustees for the Captain Tom Foundation, said it would work closely with the Commission in its inquiry relating to the trademarking of the “Captain Tom” brand.
