The foundation is currently the subject of an investigation by the charity watchdog, amid concerns about its management and independence from Sir Tom Moore’s family
The Captain Tom Foundation could shut down, a family lawyer has stated at an appeal hearing against the demolition of a spa pool block at the home of the war veteran’s daughter. The charity, set up in May 2020 after Captain Sir Tom Moore’s fundraising efforts in the first Covid-19 lockdown, is “unlikely to exist” in future, barrister Scott Stemp has said.
He added that in future the foundation was “unlikely to exist”. The commission’s investigation is ongoing and no findings have been published yet. The charity stated that its work is “entirely reliant on donations” and that while its total income had been just over £1 million for the 2021 financial year, that fell to £402,854 from June 2021 to November 2022.
