A woman who ripped-off a health watchdog charitable organisation has received a suspended prison sentence.
Rabiena Hassan, 26, was charged with fraudulently making payments into her own account at the expense of Healthwatch Lambeth at their office at 336 Brixton Road.
The charge amounted to £18,463.65 between December 2, 2015 and June 27, last year.
Hassan, of Froissart Road, Eltham, south-west London pleaded guilty to one count of fraud by false representation when she appeared at Camberwell Green Magistrates Court.
Healthwatch, which is also a Community Southwark member, says it aims to ensure the health and care needs of local people are met by providers.
Yesterday Hassan was sentenced to 26 weeks imprisonment, suspended for 12 months and ordered to complete 240 hours community service work.
She must also pay £1,000 compensation to Healthwatch, comply with up to twenty days rehabilitation and pay £85 costs and a £115 victim surcharge.
