You betrayed the dying and their families' trust

A CHARITY boss who stole more than £85,000 from a Scots cancer foundation set up in memory of her best friend's daughter has been jailed for three years.

Lindsay MacCallum, 61, defrauded the charity, Rainbow Valley, which helps sufferers and their families.

She also embezzled £9505 from the stem cell charity the Anthony Nolan Trust.

A sheriff told her: "You betrayed those who are suffering, and the terminally ill and their families."

MacCallum forged signatures of charity staff and rerouted cash from fundraising accounts for her own use between 2011 and 2021.
