A watchdog probe into "concerns" over a charity set up in Captain Tom's memory is unresolved - a year on. The Charity Commission said this week the statutory inquiry, announced in June 2022, is "ongoing".
It had launched an investigation into The Captain Tom Foundation's arrangements with a business linked to Captain Tom's daughter and her husband. The ex-Army officer became a Covid hero after raising £38.9m for the NHS by walking around his garden.
He was knighted for his efforts and given a Pride of Britain award prior to his death in 2021, aged 100. The Charity Commission said on June 30, 2022 that a statutory inquiry had been launched two weeks earlier, on June 16.
