I'm inclined to think we've been scammed. Am I being unreasonable?

And where in the NHS charities fund did it end? Enquiring minds would like to know.

Thats for the charity to disclose but they DID get the money thar people donated via JustGiving. It was raised for the NHS Charities & given to them to distribute

Anything after that is decidedly dodgy though

I feel like I want my money back, that I foolishly donated.

The initial money did all go to the NHS it was the subsequent charity they set up with the issues.

If the public were stupid enough to fall for all of this nonsense (and many of them were), then one has to have a sneaking admiration for the PR job that she did. Frankly, I never understood why a man walking round his garden became some kind of "hero". It was all sentimental claptrap, as was so much of the stuff reported early in the pandemic.
However, at best, we now see that someone who is good at PR clearly knows very little about running a charity, and so has come unstuck.

Taking the old boy on a long haul holiday during a pandemic where he caught COVID off Russ Abbott and ended up in GRAVE.

I had heard he got covid in his holiday but from Russ Abbott????? I wonder if it happened at a party with a happy atmosphere…..

(sorry to anyone under 40 who has likely never heard that dance floor classic 😂)

@Smartiepants79 Not when I've been conned out of money - no. I'd like some answers.

The money donated during Covid went direct to the NHS Charities fund and is all safe. It’s the money donated later that is at issue.

Villain. I’m afraid I never liked the whole thing. All the birthday cards “in the local school hall” - I recognised that well as I grew up locally, it was a hall in the nearby £30k/yr private school. Celebrating an old man with huge amounts of privilege so we didn’t notice his peers dying in god awful nursing homes. The whole thing was wrapped up in class sycophancy from the beginning and she did nothing but take advantage.

Agree I always smelt a rat, Piers Morgan shoved it down all our throats even losing his temper with a viewer who said they didn’t want to clap for Captain Tom and yes the school hall was the very expensive Bedford school where the offspring attended. Of course at the time of madness it was akin to treason to question the motives of this family.

NillyNoMates · 15/08/2023 22:04

She’s a scam artist.

Smartiepants79 · 15/08/2023 22:03

I’m no it saying that I agree with the way the family has handled all this but can we at least try and stick to facts and not down a tabloid spiral of half truths and bad mouthing.

I don’t remember it being reported as the local village hall!
It is the school his grandson was attending. It was reported as such in local news. It is not news that the family was relatively well off before this happened.

Her father was a good man I think. I’ll leave it there.

He was an ordinary man. Caught up in a very unusual situation.
I think she’s made some questionable decisions with regards to her property. It’s NOT a mansion though! I live locally and have seen it. It’s a big house.
Paying the salary of a suitable person to run a charity with over £30 million to distribute is always going to cost money. Anyone whose any good at the job will want a proper salary, the mistake was thinking they could choose a family member to do it!

HazelHair · 15/08/2023 21:49

Grifter.

She should be made to pay the money back.

Enfys1982 · 15/08/2023 21:47

Villain. She exploited her elderly father for her own personal gain.

It's got me wondering if he himself was no angel. Perhaps he saw the whole thing as a great way of building up money for his family. That's the problem when someone is opportunistic. It makes one question everything. Maybe they all saw the personal financial gain in all of this

I can't help but feeling scammed. I asked her directly on Twitter where the money went, and she was adamant they hadn't had any of the money and didn't even know where Captain Tom's money had gone. If my parent had raised that amount of money, I'd have wanted to know where it had gone. The fact that we weren't given an update does make me very suspicious - even before this.
