FRUADSTERS: Barbara Clarke and her grandson, Scott Schofield-Clarke A PENSIONER who stole over £23,000 from a dementia charity has been branded “deplorable” by the judge sentencing her. Fraudster Barbara Clarke, 69, used her position at Bolton Dementia Support to divert funds into her personal bank account, using cash to put down a deposit on a car and pay mobile phone bills for her extended family. She even employed her own grandson, giving him sick pay he was not entitled to while he was working for another company, falsifying invoices and faking letterheads to try and cover her tracks. Appearing at Bolton Crown Court for sentencing, Clarke stood in the dock alongside her grandson, Scott Schofield-Clarke, 21, who admitted making false claims about his employment at the charity and possessing a letter for use in fraud in 2018.
