It is with great disappointment that, while running our 'pay what you want' scheme to raise money for Steps to Hope SCIO, our Honesty Box was stolen last night.

We are trying to support the homeless in and around Edinburgh by allowing those who are unable to afford Eat Out To Help Out to come by and pay what they can afford for their food every Thursday. All money in the Honesty Box at the end of the day was being donated directly to Steps To Hope, a charity fighting homelessness and providing help for those suffering with addiction in Edinburgh.

We wanted there to be no judgement if somebody was unable to pay, so our Honesty Box was placed in an area every customer would walk past. Unfortunately, this trust was taken advantage of and a young man sprinted off with all of the charity money.

We don't think it's fair that those affected most by this crime will be the very people struggling the most right now, so we would like to raise money to recoup the funds (and hopefully more) to donate to Steps To Hope.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
