Captain Tom Moore’s daughter received £70,000 salary as charity donations fell

Captain Tom’s daughter received £70,000 in salary and expenses claims according to the charity’s latest accounts.

It was also found a watchdog’s intervention into the Captain Tom Foundation had a ‘massive adverse impact’ on fundraising.

The accounts reveal that for the nine months from August 2021 to April 2022, Sir Tom’s daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, received a gross salary of £63,750 in her role as interim chief executive officer.

The Charity Commission had consented to an annual salary of £85,000.

On top of this she received £7,602 in expense payments for travel and administration between June 2021 and November 2022.

Payments were also made of just over £24,000 for office rental and telephone costs to Maytrix Group Limited, a company controlled by Ms Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin.

The company spent nearly £180,000 on staffing costs during the period, including wages, social security costs and pensions. It employed on average two people through the period.

Concerns were raised about the charity’s management and independence from Sir Tom’s family last June and so the Charity Commission launched an inquiry.

A case was shortly set up following the death of the 100-year-old in 2021 as a review of the organisation was investigated.

The charity said it is ‘entirely reliant on donations’ and that while its total income had been just over £1 million for the 2021 financial year, it fell to £402,854 from June 2021 to November 2022.

It comes after the foundation stopped taking money from donors after Central Bedfordshire Council ordered that an unauthorised spa pool block at Ms Ingram-Moore’s home should be demolished.

The family has objected and an appeal against the order is set for a hearing next month.
