Following a watchdog review of the charity’s accounts, the Captain Tom Foundation faces renewed scrutiny over reports that its co-founder Hannah Ingram-Moore received thousands of pounds for judging a Virgin Media O2 awards ceremony featuring foundation. She was the £85,000-a-year CEO of the foundation, but did not seek its board approval before entering into a commercial agreement with Virgin Media O2. Her appearance fee was paid into a private company which she and her husband owned. After a series of controversies, the Captain Tom Foundation stopped taking donations earlier this year. Its 2022 accounts recorded it giving out £160,000 of over £1m it raised. There have been ongoing investigations regarding conflicts of interest between the charity and businesses owned by the Ingram-Moores, as well as concerns over mismanagement and compliance with charity law.
