Concerns have been raised about the Ingram-Moores profiting nearly £1.5 million from this book deal with Penguin Publishing, which has sparked questions regarding their financial integrity.

Their company, Club Nook, was expected to receive £1.5 million from a book deal, but after a cancellation, the amount was reduced to £1,466,667, and the charity has not received any funds from this deal.

Despite being established to support the elderly, the Captain Tom Foundation only distributed £160,000 in grants during its first year, while spending £240,000 on management.

A recent Charity Commission report has uncovered misconduct by Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband, Colin, involving misleading statements and financial improprieties linked to the Captain Tom Foundation.

Local residents have expressed mixed feelings about the Ingram-Moores, with some feeling disillusioned by their perceived greed, while others defended their actions.

The report emphasizes a troubling pattern of financial ethics issues surrounding the Ingram-Moores, raising serious questions about their management of the Captain Tom Foundation.

In an October 2023 interview, Ingram-Moore revealed she retained £800,000 from the sales of her father's books, claiming it was in line with his wishes, despite implications that the profits would benefit the foundation.

The foundation has faced criticism for paying over £50,000 to companies owned by the Ingram-Moores, which they justified as loans during financial difficulties.

Ingram-Moore was paid £18,000 for an awards ceremony appearance, with only £2,000 going to charity, contradicting her claims of prioritizing charitable contributions.

The inquiry also highlighted issues regarding the handling of intellectual property rights, as rights owned by the family were offered to the foundation without proper agreements.

Although the foundation has not been ordered to close, it ceased accepting donations in summer 2023 amid the ongoing scrutiny.

Critics have accused Ingram-Moore of exploiting her father's legacy for financial gain, alleging she has pocketed significant sums from his charitable efforts.
