“It’s really disheartening to know someone would take something from a service such as ours,” she said.

“They were treasured by everyone here.”

The pieces had been purchased using money donated to the centre.

Chatting to the Gazette last week, Ms Nouwland said she did not hold much hope of getting them back.

“We don’t think we will get them back,” she said.

“It’s really disappointing that at a time like this, just a few weeks out from Christmas, people could be so heartless.

“Hopefully they realise what they have done and return them.”
