The Cafe of Good Hope, set up by his parents Margaret and Barry has had it's stock and charity box raided twice in four days
A CHARITY café set up in memory of murdered boy Jimmy Mizen has been robbed twice in four days.
Parents Margaret and Barry launched the Café of Good Hope after he was killed the day after his 16th birthday.
But it has been burgled overnight twice inside a week by raiders who stole stock and even a charity box crammed with change. Margaret, 66, who launched the café to give young disabled people the chance of work, said: “The first time the raiders made a huge mess. The second time we have a man on CCTV rifling away behind the counter looking for cash.

“But we won't give up, that would be letting down the staff. It makes me more determined to carry on.” Margaret said the café in Lewisham, South East London, and two sister branches have been hit 15 times since launching in 2010.
The three cafés, all near where Jimmy died, employ 30 autistic trainees who prepare food and serve tables.
Jimmy was killed in 2008 when battered by Jake Fahri, 19, with an oven dish that shattered, severing an artery.
