In a statement to the BBC, Majid apologised again and said using the money was a “mistake”, and the sum had been given back to the charity.
Devlin, who took up the role in 2020, served two three-year terms as chairman and handed over the reins to Tom Cahill earlier this month.
It is understood the trust used £249.50 from the charity, which is currently fundraising, external for therapies for the mother and baby unit and peer support work for people living with dementia.
The news comes following a recent Care Quality Commission report, which said the trust’s leadership “requires improvement”.
Inspectors also found a “challenged” financial picture at the trust, with a forecast deficit of £46.8m at the end of the 2025-26 financial year.
This came after a damning 2024 report, which the Nottingham attacks victims’ families said demonstrated “gross, systemic failures in the mental health trust”.
In January 2024, it was reported more than 30 members of staff across the trust had been suspended.
