The message read: "An open message to the man who took our One Nation charity box in which our lovely customers donate everyday:

"Whilst it’s very upsetting you did that, it’s more upsetting you felt the need to do that.

"We're a ‘family’ business - despite being a franchise we consider all of Batley & our customers to be our family too.

"If ever you need food or money, you're more than welcome to just ask.

"We've been donating food to the homeless & needy since our training began & we'll continue to do so.

"My brother we forgive you & we're always here for you. Chaiiwala Batley team".
