The family of Captain Sir Tom Moore have refused to commit to getting rid of a controversial spa pool that was added to a building originally created in his name despite being given several chances to do so in an explosive Piers Morgan interview.
Captain Sir Tom Moore's daughter and her husband have been disqualified from being charity trustees amid an ongoing inquiry into the foundation set up in the war veteran's name.
The Captain Tom Foundation was set up in September 2020, inspired by the memory of his late wife Pamela who died in 2006 after a battle with dementia - with the stated aim of tackling loneliness and supporting people facing bereavement. Now the family has announced the findings made by the commission, saying they 'fundamentally disagree' with the decision to disqualify the pair as charity trustees.
'The disqualification has been imposed without the conclusion of the statutory inquiry into The Captain Tom Foundation. Hannah Ingram-Moore, pictured arriving for a planning hearing at Central Bedfordshire Council last October, was initially made CEO of the Captain Tom Foundation "It is widely recognised that the funds raised in April 2020 were directed entirely to NHS Charities Together. Public donations were managed by JustGiving and transferred directly to NHS Charities Together, without any involvement from our family in the distribution process.Ms Ingram-Moore spoke out last October in a tearful interview with Piers Morgan about the £85,000 salary she earned as interim CEO of the Captain Tom Foundation.
She further admitted she was paid £18,000 for attending the Virgin Media O2 Captain Tom Foundation Connector Awards in 2021 - when already being paid as chief executive of the body. Rising building costs mean the price of the office and spa complex could have been in the region of £200,000, according to two local estate agents who spoke to the Mail in July.
