Captain Tom: Charity begins at home

Location
in a hidey-hole
Country
Wales
Captain Tom's daughter found to be benefitting financially from his Charity. Shock , horror,..this was always coming.

"
The family of renowned pandemic fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore damaged public trust in charities by refusing to donate any of the £1.4m received from his book deal, a long-awaited report has found.

The Charity Commission said his daughter and son-in-law displayed a "pattern of behaviour" in which they benefitted personally from the Captain Tom Foundation and people "would understandably feel misled"." (BBC website)

I hope there is some way of recovering the monies they spent, and donating it to appropriate charity funds. Lying to get money, or downright fraud, might be other ways they could express the families actions.
They already have to tear down that sauna building they built as a charity 'office', and they've no doubt had time to squirrel monies away , before it can be recovered.
 

someone else thought charity begins at home. they got jail

"
A woman who stole money from a cancer charity set up in memory of her best friend's daughter has been ordered to pay back over £70,000.
Lindsay MacCallum, 61, defrauded the charity Rainbow Valley over the course of a decade, after launching it with former friend Angela MacVicar.
She also embezzled £9,505 from the Anthony Nolan Trust - a stem cell donation charity.
MacCallum was jailed for three years in October after she
pleaded guilty to two fraud charges." (BBC website 22.11.24)
