Lindsay MacCallum defrauded cancer charity Rainbow Valley by forging signatures of staff.

She also embezzled more than 9,000 from the Anthony Nolan Trust , a stem cell donation charity.

Angela MacVicar says she feels "hurt and betrayed" by her former friend's crimes.

She says she believes her crimes were fuelled by "greed, vanity and narcissism".

MacCallum 's reputation is tarnished beyond repair - but not the charity itself.

Angela says Rainbow Valley is flourishing and the charity is flourishing.

Angela has put in place a 'no-trust' policy within the charity.

Despite the decades -long friendship, Angela feels the whole relationship was fake.
