David Holdsworth from the Charity Commission says there is a 'pattern of behaviour' showing Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband took money from Captain Tom Moore foundation for personal use.
Captain Tom's daughter and her husband were today accused of 'betraying everything he stood for' as a watchdog report found they 'misled' the public while pocketing £1.5million from the foundation set up in his name.
Ms Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin were found to have benefited 'significantly' through their association with the high-profile charityDavid Holdsworth, Chief Executive of the Charity Commission, said the public 'will be rightly feeling misled' and criticised the Ingram-Moores for 'consistent blurring of the lines between the private benefits of the family and the interest of the charity'.
A claim by Mrs Ingram-Moore that an appearance at the Virgin Media Local Legends Award ceremony, for which she was paid £18,000, was undertaken in a personal capacity. The Commission said there was no evidence to support this and the money should have gone to the foundation, which received a separate £2,000 fee.
Mrs Ingram-Moore made 'disingenuous' statements about the six-figure sum she initially demanded to become chief executive of the Captain Tom Foundation . Confusion over intellectual property rights for branded goods, such as bottles of gin, led to possible financial losses for the charity. The CTF was incorporated in May 2020 to raise funds for 'the values held dear to father', including loneliness and mental health.
