Glenray Industries worker Kristy Howells said that the company puts on an annual Christmas party for their clients every year.
"We save our money for the Christmas party through recycling all year and this year [2019] a couple of weeks before our party, the Glenray day program was broken into," she said.
"The thieves took all our money so without donations from the community it would not have been possible."

According to Ms Howells they ended up raising more money for the Christmas party than what was actually stolen, and for that they are beyond grateful to the donating businesses.
"We have also received the Vale Hall from the Vale Ladies and meat from Sunnyridge Meats for the past two years so we need to thank them," she said.
