Hospice Donation Tin Stolen in Smash-and-Grab
17 Jul
Summary
- A donation tin was stolen after a window was smashed at a hospice.
- The head of trading described the damage as 'astronomical' compared to the theft.
- Repairs may impact funds allocated for patient and family care.
A burglary occurred at Rotherham Hospice earlier this month, resulting in the theft of a donation tin. Access was gained by smashing a window, an act described by the head of trading as causing "astronomical" damage in proportion to the value of the stolen cash.
This incident has had a significant emotional impact on the hospice's volunteers. Furthermore, there is concern that the costs associated with repairing the damage may necessitate diverting funds that are typically reserved for patient and family care. Michael Brailsford, 45, has been charged with burglary in connection with the break-in and was scheduled to appear at Sheffield Magistrates' Court.
