Appalled that well-intentioned organisations should have suffered at the hands of criminals, police officer Sergeant Simon Kind lived up to his name by seeking donations from the Police Property Act Fund (PPAF) to help offset their losses.

PPAF is made up of monies received by the police from property confiscated by order of the court and then sold.

Each of the two charity shops was granted £250.
