Was most of that the pool that was bulldozed so it’s probably true?
Really? I thought this company was a real up and comer and would be the British NVIDIA before long.
I don’t give to charity because I think they’re all a front to people getting very rich and living a wonderful life on the back of genuine donations and genuine volunteers.
It’s people like Captain Tom’s daughter who confirm my suspicions.

And yet they still walk free. The world really is getting more and more lawless with naked corruption and profiteering thr norm. The orange idiot is only going to make the world a worse place.
I knew she was dodgy when she advertised her company on the original JustGiving page…
Between her and Farage I don’t know whose worse. A bunch of grifters the lot of them!
It’s not exactly surprising its assets have gone. They’ve presumably just paid them out (or had to compensate somebody) on the way to liquidating it. It’s not like it was trading.
Hospices will get my money no problem.
Everyone else, nothing!
Its funny that back in 2020 you’d have been downvoted into oblivion if you thought this whole thing seemed a bit dodgy
Lets face it what she does is quite often immoral and shitty but there are hundreds of big businesses that do the exact same crap none of them get any media attention like she does

Sadly this apple fell a long long way away from the tree.
The daughter sounds like she really just used that charity as her personal piggy bank.
Nah, wild how you’ve just tarnished your families name and the captains
I give money to homeless people and food if they want it. But usually they just want money to buy crack, heroine or booze with. Which I’m cool with as they need a break from the drudgery of living on the streets.
I feel so vindicated in this entire case. Ever since I read the quotes about them egging him on and finding out that she was a brand manager I got bad feelings.
Also fuck every single charity thats entire thing is “we at the made up bollocks charity for kids raise money and then give that to other charities”. Why do we allow trick down economic charities to exist, it’s such a scam
Hahahahaha
The Queen of grifters.
And 95% of you got sucked in my her.
Is there nothing we can do against this blatant corruption?
Wait until you find out how much is in the “help for heroes” account.
Truly disturbing really. !
never give what is so hard to earn.
Lots of people here are posting with conspiracy level comments. So many charities actually do legitimate, good work, which is easy to see and measure. I’m kind of getting “I spend too much time on social media” vibes.
Just because this sort of stuff usually reflects badly on charities and people don’t look much further than what their mate John told them at Spoons last Friday:
You can search any registered charity in the UK here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/charity-commission
You can view it’s income and expenditure, charitable objectives etc.
What I always recommend doing, if you want to give to charity, is to have a look at charities that are close to you. I don’t mean morally. I mean literally close to you, as in, on your doorstep.
Charity is an extremely umbrella term.
Your local community centre? Charity.
Your local community garden? Charity.
Knit and natter mornings for your gran? Charity.
Obviously not all exclusively but too many people think charity = cancer research UK. Most of the above will likely exist in some locality to you and probably operate on a few grand a year.
Your £10 can and will go a lot further to charities that are already potentially helping your neighbours, family and friends. Even better – volunteer with them.
The captain Tom shit was a farce from day one. Terrible look for this country to have some pensioner trying to raise money for the NHS because we don’t fund it properly, right up there with ‘clap for carers’. Fucking shameful, the whole thing, and his terrible daughter is just the icing on this shit flavoured biscuit.
Yeah right, all the money transferred somewhere else for their personal use. Sure she won’t be short of a few bob.
That woman hasn’t got an ounce of shame in her.
Her dad is turning in his grave.
Yeaaah, someone’s nicked all of the silverware and done a runner. That and should be investigated. Probably won’t be though.
But if you are owe a single penny to your local council? You will be investigated.
LBC is wrong the house is still in tbe market. They’ve just changed EAs and removed any reference to Captain Tom or the spa.

Nice racket + creative accounting = Charity Outfits
If it’s that easy to get away with using donations for personal benefit, then laws governing charities need to change.
What a piece of work. I bet she feels no shame either.
A dog rescue charity near us ( Chichester dog rescue ) were left a substantial sum of money in a legacy. Bought a house with the funds to be near the kennels, spent charity money on holidays and a log burner for the home. Got found out and disqualified from being trustees. No other punishments or made to pay it back. Absolute low life thieves who took advantage of people’s kindness. It’s made me very sceptical and I never give to charity now.
If I had a cent for very downvote I got for saying this whole thing was a scam since 2020 , I would be a billionaire
