A spokesman for Captain Tom Foundation today revealed the family had asked for Sir Tom’s name be removed following a Charity Commission report in NovemberCaptain Sir Tom Moore's family are said to have insisted his name was removed from the charity which was set up after his £39million lockdown heroics
The family of Captain Sir Tom Moore "demanded" his name was removed from the scandal-hit charity set up in his name and have yet to pay off debts after a damning watchdog investigation, it is claimed.
The Mirror revealed this week that Sir Tom's name had been stripped from his charity, changing it from the Captain Tom Foundation to the 1189808 Foundation, reflecting the organisation’s charity number. The change came just over two months after the charities watchdog found there had been “repeated” misconduct and mismanagement on the part of Sir Tom’s daughter and her husband in their running of the foundation.
Today a foundation spokesperson revealed the family had demanded Sir Tom’s name be removed. Following the Charity Commission report in November into the foundation, the remaining trustee said he was “imploring the Ingram-Moores to rectify matters by returning the funds due” so they could be donated “to well-deserving charities as intended by the late Captain Sir Tom Moore”. But a spokesperson confirmed they have failed to do so since then.

PA)The commission’s report found a “repeated pattern of behaviour” which saw Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin make private gains and which the regulator said will have left the public feeling “misled”. The report found that a £1.4 million book deal and an £18,000 awards ceremony appearance fee were among the financial benefits the Ingram-Moores enjoyed through their family links to the Captain Tom Foundation.
Following the name change, a foundation spokesperson has said: “Notwithstanding the Charity Commission’s findings against the Ingram-Moores, as well as their failure to rectify matters by returning the funds properly due to it, The Captain Tom Foundation considers it inappropriate to stand in the way of the family’s wish regarding the use of the late Sir Captain Tom’s name. The Foundation has therefore acceded to the family’s demand that it removes Captain Tom’s name from its title.”
Following the report’s publication last year, the Ingram-Moores argued it was a “breach of privacy” for the book deal to have been disclosed by the commission and said “significant fees” had been paid to the literary agent, legal and PR professionals, as well as some money having “supported” the foundation.

He resigned as director of the foundation in June last year, while Mrs Ingram-Moore quit in 2021.
Last week Club Nook, a company of which the Ingram-Moores are directors, filed company accounts showing the value of its assets had plunged to just £149 in the year to April 2024, down from £336,300 in the previous 12 months.
A lawyer for the Ingram-Moores indicated back in 2023 that the Captain Tom Foundation might shut down, and the charity stopped taking donations that summer. The millions raised by the late Sir Tom and donated to NHS Charities Together before the foundation was formed were not part of the commission’s inquiry.
The Ingram-Moores have not responded to a request for comment.
