On Wednesday, May 6, at approximately 12:50 pm, Johnstans Butchers in Kings Heath experienced an unfortunate incident when a man allegedly stole close to £200 from their charity donation box. The box had been collecting funds over the past six months to support Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
The owner of Johnstans Butchers publicly condemned the act, referring to the suspected thief as the “scum of the earth.” The incident has deeply upset the local community, who rely on the goodwill of customers and passersby to contribute to this important cause.
Birmingham Children’s Hospital relies heavily on charitable donations to support its vital work, and such thefts undermine the generosity of those who donate. The butcher shop urges anyone with information about the incident to come forward and help ensure that justice is served.
