The Captain Tom Foundation has been criticised for damaging the brand of the NHS fundraiser who gave it its name, a charity lawyer has claimed.
Liz Brownsell said that the heroic NHS fundraiser would always be "very much loved", despite questions over how the money raised separately for his charity has been spent since his death.Speaking in a documentary that looks into the spending of the Captain Tom Foundation, Ms Brownsell said the Second World War was "seen as the nation's grandfather".
" Ms Burkett also points out that the prologue of his autobiography reads: "Astonishingly at my age, with the offer to write this memoir I've also been given the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.She adds: "And so that's the problem".
