Francisca Yawson

Francisca Yawson, a 38-year-old former church worker from Stonebridge Park, London, was in the news for stealing nearly £100,000 from the Diocese of Westminster, where she served as a Gift Aid and Operations Technician. Yawson admitted to nine counts of theft, claiming her actions were motivated by the need to support her grandmother in Jamaica, although the court noted that her personal expenditures far exceeded the money sent for medical assistance.
