Hannah and her husband are proud owners of a successful company that they built together. It's a great source of pride for them both, and they work hard to keep it running smoothly. However, recent events have put a strain on their business and their reputation.
The daughter of the renowned Captain Sir Tom Moore, Hannah Ingram-Moore, has found herself in hot water. It's been alleged that she will be removed from her position after it was discovered that she made a considerable amount of money from a charity that was set up in her late father's name. The company in question, Maytrix Group Ltd, has received a fourth warning for a "compulsory strike off" for being late with their accounts this year. This is not the kind of attention Hannah and her husband wanted for their company.
To make matters worse, it has been revealed that their company received £100,000 in furlough money over a period of ten months, while also pocketing £47,500 in Covid loans. This raised many eyebrows, especially since the company had made significant profits during that time. To add insult to injury, it was reported that Hannah had made a substantial amount of money by attending award ceremonies for the Captain Tom Foundation.
The situation has escalated, and the Ingram-Moore family has been barred from being charity trustees due to an ongoing inquiry into their foundation. This news has caused quite a stir, and the family has released a statement expressing their disagreement with the decision. The situation has attracted a lot of attention, and the family is under intense scrutiny.
The Captain Tom Foundation was established in 2020, following the remarkable fundraising efforts of the late Captain Sir Tom Moore during the pandemic. He captured the hearts of the nation by raising an incredible £38 million for NHS charities by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday. The foundation was registered as a grant-making charity, with the aim of promoting public health and well-being. It was a noble cause that inspired many.
However, concerns were raised about the charity's management, specifically its independence from the family's businesses. This led to a statutory inquiry being opened in 2022 by the Charity Commission. The foundation's future is uncertain, with barrister Scott Stemp stating during an appeal hearing in October last year that it is unlikely to survive. The family lost the appeal, and demolition of an unauthorised building on their property took place earlier this year.
Helen Stephenson, the CEO of the Charity Commission, stated that the decision to open an investigation was not taken lightly. She emphasized the importance of protecting public trust in charities and ensuring that people continue to have confidence in supporting good causes. Sadly, the situation has reached a point where a formal investigation is necessary, giving the commission access to their full range of protective and enforcement powers. The situation is a reminder that even the most charitable and well-intentioned endeavors can come under scrutiny if concerns are raised.
