Barry Barnes, of the Wildfire Cork Lodge, gives £100 to Ribbons

Donations are still pouring in for a disabled children's charity that had a collection box stolen.

Sheppey-based Ribbons had its box taken from a kiosk in Beachfields, Sheerness, between October 24 and October 25.

Following a report in the Times Guardian, we were inundated with calls from generous readers who wanted to donate to the charity.

On Monday, lodge member, Barry Barnes, came into the office to pass on their donation.

He said they raise money throughout the year which is always given to local children's charities.

The decision was made at the lodge's meeting on Saturday.
