'No charity money' was used for new building on family home, says daughter of Captain Sir Tom Moore

    Captain Sir Tom Moore's daughter says she has had 'no involvement with the Foundation in any capacity' since April 2022.

    In July, the Captain Tom Foundation stopped taking donations after it emerged his daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore and family were under fire following an unapproved home spa.

    It also came amid an ongoing Charity Commission investigation into its finances.

    The Captain Tom Foundation was set up in honour of Captain Sir Tom Moore, a 100-year-old war veteran who managed to raise £39m for NHS Charities Together by walking 100 laps of his garden during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.

    Today (7/9), in a statement on her personal social media pages, Captain Sir Tom Moore's daughter has said she has had 'no involvement with the Foundation in any capacity' since April 2022.

    According to the statement, Hannah stepped down after being made interim CEO in August 2021 'as planned' and the family has never been involved in 'any discussion or decision' on the disbursement of the charity money.

    "All of the £38.9 million raised in April 2020 for Captain Tom's walk for the NHS was collected by Just Giving and transferred directly to NHS Charities which had sole responsibility for disbursement of the money. Captain Tom and his family have never been involved in any discussion or decision on this disbursement.

    "The Captain Tom Foundation was subsequently set up by independent trustees, not the family, in May 2020.

    "Hannah Ingram-Moore was appointed interim Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation from August 2021 until April 2022 by the independent trustees, Stephen Jones and Simon DeMaid.

    "Hannah stepped down, as planned when a permanent CEO was appointed.

    "During Hannah's tenure as Interim Chief Executive Officer she reported directly to the Chair, Stephen Jones, she did not make any payments from the Charity's bank account.

    "Since April 2022, Hannah Ingram-Moore has had no involvement with the Foundation in any capacity. She is not a trustee.

    "Colin Ingram-Moore is a family trustee and does not and has never had access to the Charity's bank account.

    "No charity money was used in the construction of the new building in the grounds of the family home."
