The charity set up in honour of Captain Sir Tom Moore is being investigated by the Charity Commission over its accounts, according to reports.

The World War 2 veteran's walks inspired the nation at the start of the pandemic and he became a national hero, raising money for the NHS.

Before his death, he and his family set up the Captain Tom Foundation to support causes close to his heart.

Here's what our readers had to say about the revelations.

Mark Ritson said: "Sadly there are people in many families who will abuse good acts for financial gain. These kind of trust fund Charities are wide open to such abuse."

Stan Rooke said: "Sadly, some people bow to temptation. Especially when huge amounts of money are concerned. It is so disappointing."

John Reeves said: "Let’s just see what the investigation shows before leaping to conclusions and making rash comments."

The charity published its first audited accounts this week with the public documentation covers the period of May 5, 2020 and May 31, 2021.

Accounts show nearly £1.1million in income although concerns have been raised over "related party transactions".

According to the publicly available accounts, reimbursement costs of £16,097 were made to Club Nook Limited, a company under the control of Captain Tom's daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore.

These costs were for accommodation, transport and security while Capt Sir Tom was "travelling around the UK to promote the charitable company."

The charity also paid out grants to four charities worth £40,000 each but spent £209,433 on support costs including £162,336 on "management".

The Charity Commission said: "We have been in ongoing contact with the trustees of the Captain Tom Foundation on its set-up and governance arrangements and as part of this work will now assess the charity's recently submitted accounts."

Stephen Jones, chair of trustees for The Captain Tom Foundation, said: "As a young charity, we have been working closely with the Charity Commission since we launched, and we welcome their input following the publication of our recent audited annual accounts."
