In April 2020, 99-year-old war veteran Captain Tom Moore became an unexpected national hero after raising £38.9m in less than four weeks by walking 100 laps of his garden. But his legacy quickly turned sour, leading to a very public fall for his family and the charity created in his name.

In episode two of When Charity Goes Wrong, Lucinda Rouse hears from Hannah Ingram-Moore, daughter of Captain Sir Tom Moore and former interim chief executive of the Captain Tom Foundation.

Her successor at the charity, Jack Gilbert, shares his perspective on the intellectual property dispute that contributed to its downfall.

Liz Brownsell, a partner at the law firm Birketts, explains conflicts of interest and personal benefit in the context of charity law.

And the Charity Commission’s chief executive, David Holdsworth, outlines how other charities can avoid the same damaging mishaps.
