at spending more on fundraising than you actually raise...

 

[Hollis]

Yes and they're trying to disguise it as 'charitable activity'..

The family kept £800,000 from his books. This was according to an interview his daughter did with Piers Morgan. Hannah Ingram-Moore being interviewed by Piers Morgan - is that like when you multiply 2 negative numbers and it makes a positive? No.

My aunt, who also was a charity grifter, said the same thing about the legacies of my nan and her two sisters. Cheeky cunt actually said, "They want me to have the money until my death and then pass it to the 5 grandkids." As if just having money is a thing outside of Father Ted

"They want to offer one-to-one sessions, only on a once or twice per week basis."

That's just inviting your mates over isn't it?

Except the money.

Unless this is just the first time she got caught.

There's a posh private school up the road from us that opens their pool to the public. For two hours a week (one on Monday evening and one on Thursday lunchtime). Their website suggests you come already changed as you can't use the changing room (who knows what you do after). I'm absolutely sure this will be listed as a benefit to the public to the Charity Commission or wherever it benefits them.

Called it

It was simply a clerical error m'lud. When we said "Foundation" it was meant to say 'Fountain' to adorn the driveway to our private swimming pool the "Captain Tom Community Fitness Centre"

Cherterhouse does that too, but you can get changed there, though since the plague they have made it so you can only use it up until midday. And they do use that as their claim for charitable status.

The daughter really is a brass necked thief

 

[A380]

Captain Sir Tom would be proud

See he would. He was a bit of a chancer/ spiv and didn’t deny it…

 

[Kid_Eternity]

The daughter really is a brass necked thief

I remember her in the early days of his story; she just looked too gleeful…

 

[ChrisD]

Here’s the appeal decision….they have three months to knock down the unauthorised building.
seems ridiculous that they built it without permission in that location - do these people not take any professional advice?

Lengthy disqualifications...

Captain Sir Tom Moore family members disqualified as charity trustees

The family of the late fundraising veteran say they have made the "difficult decision" not to appeal.

www.bbc.co.uk

The Charity Commission confirmed it had disqualified Ms Ingram-Moore for a period of 10 years and Mr Ingram-Moore for eight.

The commission's chief executive David Holdsworth said: "As a fair, independent and evidence-led regulator we only disqualify someone from serving as a trustee or a senior manager in a charity when the evidence gathered means it is proportionate and lawful to do so.

"The evidence in this investigation meant that the level of misconduct and/or mismanagement was serious enough to warrant this action.

to be fair it is akin to those people who got moved to universal credit and didn't realise they needed to pay their own rent and spent all the money subsequently ending in a lot of debt, have some pity ffs

“The commission’s failure to conclude the inquiry prolongs our deep distress and hinders our ability to move on with our lives, extending the pain and impact on our family and our father/grandfather’s legacy. It has been a harrowing and debilitating ordeal that has gone on for over two years,” the statement said.

“We are increasingly concerned that the Charity Commission’s process may have evolved into a relentless pursuit, and question whether it is a tactic by the commission to make our lives more difficult, by suspending us in constant fear and mental anguish.

“The orders of disqualification do not state that Hannah Ingram-Moore or Colin Ingram-Moore have misappropriated or received unauthorised payments from the charity’s funds, including public donations. We have never accessed or made any payments from the charity’s bank account.”

You heartless bastards

David Holdsworth, the chief executive of the Charity Commission, said: “As a fair, independent and evidence-led regulator, we only disqualify someone from serving as a trustee or a senior manager in a charity when the evidence gathered means it is proportionate and lawful to do so. The evidence in this investigation meant that the level of misconduct and/or mismanagement was serious enough to warrant this action.”

Yeh they would say that

So the Charity Commission has spoken...

Captain Tom’s family personally benefited from charity they founded, report finds

Charity Inquiry: The Captain Tom Foundation

 

[elbows]

BBC version of the same story:

Captain Tom's family benefitted from charity - inquiry

The fundraiser's family damaged public trust by not donating any money from his books, a report finds.

www.bbc.co.uk

The regulator’s findings showed that Club Nook, a private firm set up by the Ingram-Moores in April 2020, was paid an advance of £1.47m for Sir Capt Tom’s three books, including his best-selling autobiography, Tomorrow Will be a Good Day.

The publisher Penguin, and promoter Carver PR, said the family gave repeated assurances that part of the advance would be used to set up and fund the foundation.

In addition, a press release, various marketing materials and the prologue of Sir Capt Sir Tom’s memoir, all stated that the books would be used to support or raise money for the foundation.

However, to date the charity has not received any money from the publishing agreement.

In 2022, the commission said the inquiry twice asked Mr and Mrs Ingram-Moore to "rectify matters by making a donation to charity" but "on both occasions they declined".

The publications were "a purely commercial endeavour" and "had damaged public trust" in charities, the report concluded.
