Concerns have been raised about the Ingram-Moores profiting from a book deal with Penguin Publishing, which was initially valued at £1.5 million but ultimately yielded no funds for the charity.

Local residents have expressed mixed feelings about the Ingram-Moores, with some feeling cheated by their actions, while others defend them, citing Captain Tom's wishes.

A recent Charity Commission report has uncovered misconduct by the Ingram-Moores, including misleading statements and financial improprieties related to the Captain Tom Foundation.

Despite the foundation's establishment in June 2020 to support the elderly, it has been criticized for spending £240,000 on management while only distributing £160,000 in grants during its first year.

Captain Sir Tom Moore, who became a national hero during the COVID-19 pandemic by raising nearly £39 million for the NHS, is at the center of controversy involving his daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, and her husband, Colin.

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

Ingram-Moore's financial dealings have raised eyebrows, particularly her proposal for a £150,000 salary as CEO of the charity, which was initially blocked but led to her reimbursing herself £80,000 in costs.

Critics accuse Ingram-Moore of exploiting her father's legacy for personal gain, with allegations that she has retained significant profits from his charitable endeavors.

The overall sentiment reflects a sense of disillusionment among the public, who initially rallied behind Captain Tom's fundraising efforts but now question the integrity of his family's actions.

Although the Captain Tom Foundation ceased accepting donations in summer 2023 following the misconduct findings, it has not been ordered to close.

The inquiry also highlighted governance issues, particularly regarding the handling of intellectual property rights, which were offered to the foundation without proper agreements.

In an October 2023 interview, Ingram-Moore admitted to keeping £800,000 from the sales of her father's books, claiming it was in line with his wishes despite public expectations.
