Fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore's name has been dropped from the foundation set up in his honour. The Captain Tom Foundation is now known as the 1189808 Foundation, reflecting the organisation's charity number. It comes just over two months after the charities watchdog found there had been "repeated" misconduct and mismanagement on the part of Sir Tom's daughter and her husband in their running of the foundation.
The Charity Commission's report found a "repeated pattern of behaviour" which saw Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin make private gains and which the regulator said will have left the public feeling "misled". It found a £1.4m book deal and an £18,000 awards ceremony appearance fee were among the financial benefits the Ingram-Moores enjoyed through family links to the foundation.

Captain Sir Tom Moore's family 'benefited significantly' from links to charity, report finds. Captain Tom Moore's daughter and son-in-law banned from being charity trustees. Captain Sir Tom Moore's home where he raised millions for NHS is up for sale. The couple argued it was a "breach of privacy" for the book deal to have been disclosed. They also said "significant fees" had been paid to the literary agent, legal and PR professionals, as well as some money having "supported" the foundation.
