Description

Editor Emily Burt and senior reporter Russell Hargrave unpack the story of the Captain Tom Foundation, from record-breaking fundraising challenge to the launch of a statutory enquiry by the Charity Commission. They talk through the finer points of the governance responsibilities and charity laws that may apply to the commission’s enquiry, and reflect on other key moments in the Captain Tom story.
