Captain Tom’s fundraising website taken down just hours after daughter’s business collapses

22 January 2025, 11:57

The Captain Tom Foundation has shut down its fundraising site just days after his daughter and her husband’s company collapsed, with accounts revealing the firm had just £149 worth of assets to its name.

The fundraising site was launched to raise money for the beloved veteran’s mission to support the NHS during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The World War Two veteran raised a stunning £38.9 million for NHS Charities together, walking 100 laps of his garden in 2020.

The site used to raise this cash stopped taking donations in September amid allegations his daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband, David, had used charity donations for their own gain.

But now, upon visiting the Captain Tom Foundation’s website, users are met with a message reading: “Domain not claimed.”

This marks just the latest blow for Captain Tom’s daughter after a report found the Ingram-Moores benefited 'significantly' through their association with the high-profile Captain Tom Foundation.

According to documents seen by the MailOnline, accounts to April 2024 revealed the company owes creditors in the region of £67,000. Liabilities were recorded as standing at £19,246 net, compared to 106,104 in the black the previous year.

It comes just a week after Captain Tom’s daughter reportedly took her controversial £2.25m country mansion off the market after failing to find a buyer.

It follows a damming 30-page report published by the Charity Commission in November, which found the Ingram-Moores benefited 'significantly' through their association with the high-profile Captain Tom Foundation.

Failings found in the 30-page report include:

• The couple misled the public about a payment of nearly £1.5m from Captain Tom's books, none of which went to the foundation
• She claimed incorrectly that £18,000 she was given for charity appearances was in a personal capacity, rather than for the foundation
• She and her husband used the foundation in a planning application for a spa and pool annex on the grounds of their house
• Ms Ingram-Moore made 'disingenuous' statements about her salary demands as CEO of the charity
• There was also confusion over handling of intellectual property rights, which the commission said were owned by the family but offered to the foundation to use without the right agreements in place, leading to possible financial losses to the charity

It comes a week after her seven-bed Bedfordshire mansion has been on the market for nearly a year, with Hannah Ingram-Moore demanding a whopping £2.25m for the infamous property.

However, Ms Ingram-Moore has been unable to find a buyer after she was found to have used the charity set up in her father’s name to "significant" personal benefit.

The Grade II listed property no longer appears on major sites such as Zoopla and Rightmove and estate agents Fine and Country told The Sun it is "no longer appointed as the agents".

Ms Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin put the 3.5-acre property on the market just months after losing an appeal to keep the spa they were building in its garden.

Bedfordshire County Council demanded the spa be knocked down after the couple claimed it would be used as part of the Captain Tom Foundation “and its charitable objectives”.
