Orkney teen vows to carry on after thieves raid fundraising box
Allisia Burton, 15, runs the Peedie Bun Box in Kirkwall using a small wooden honesty box at the end of her road.
She makes a variety of home bakes to raise money for the Macmillan cancer charity. However thieves stole the contents earlier this week and a small Christmas tree beside it was vandalised.

Commenting on the Peedie Bun Box Facebook page, she said: “I’m disappointed that between 10:30 last night and 7:00 this morning (22 December), someone stole the contents of The Peedie Bun Box.
“Luckily this has never happened before, but I did not expect this in Orkney.
“Thank you to everyone who has been honest and supported me.”
