CAPTAIN Sir Tom Moore's name has been removed from the scandal-hit charity established in tribute to the Covid hero. New filings at Companies House indicate The Captain Tom Foundation will now be known by the equally catchy “The 1189808 Foundation”.
The latest accounts, disclosed last summer, showed the entity had assets exceeding £262,600. It comes after the organisation's website was removed following a damning investigation by the Charity Commission. Former Army officer Capt Tom became a national treasure after raising more than £30million for the NHS by doing laps of his garden during the pandemic.
He passed away in 2021 aged 100 but his family has been criticised over management of funds raised in his name. Daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore, 53, and her husband Colin, 66, had both been made trustees in 2021. But were disqualified from being charity trustees after the humiliating probe found the pair had received "significant personal benefit" from the "mismanaged" foundation.
The Charity Commission report also highlighted "repeated failures" with both Hannah and Colin's leadership and "repeated instances of misconduct and/ or mismanagement". This comes as Hannah's own business Club Nook, that she co-runs with her husband, had collapsed, according to accounts filed with Companies House.
