Xahra Saleem, 23, pleaded guilty to using more than ?30,000 that was supposed to go to a charity for disadvantaged youngsters in the city to buy a new phone, computer, hair and make-up, taxis and takeaways. Bristol Crown Court heard she transferred the money, which came from around the world, into her own bank account before using the money for herself. Saleem, who was previously known as Yvonne Maina, was a director of the now-defunct charity, Changing Your Mindset. She was one of five young people who got together to organise a protest on 7 June 2020, in Bristol city centre, in response to the murder of George Floyd by police officers in the US. https://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2023-10-31/woman-who-helped-organise-colston-statue-protest-jailed-for-charity-fraud
