New documents show the charity has been renamed from the Captain Tom Foundation to ‘The 1189808 Foundation’. Captain Sir Tom Moore’s name has been removed from the charity set up in his honour just months after his family was found to have “repeatedly benefited” financially from the foundation.

Captain Tom became famous during the Covid-19 pandemic in April 2020 by walking 100 laps around his garden ahead of his 100th birthday to raise money for the NHS. His efforts raised £38.9m and catapulted him into fame, which saw him knighted by the late Queen at Windsor Castle before his death in January 2021.
Initially established in June 2020, the Captain Tom Foundation was set up to recognise and raise money for organisations supporting the elderly in the UK. It first came under investigation in March 2021 over its accounts, which showed that during its first year of operation, just £160,000 was given away in charitable grants while £240,000 was spent on management.
Captain Tom’s daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore, 53, and her husband Colin Ingram-Moore, 66, drew an angry backlash when they were accused of repeated misconduct in a report by the Charity Commission about the running of the Captain Tom Foundation. New documents filed to Companies House show the charity has been renamed from the Captain Tom Foundation to “The 1189808 Foundation”. The foundation has been renamed to its charity number assigned by the Charity Commission.
