The venue believes to have received over £60 in donations over the past week.
However, the pot of donations had been stolen at around 7.10pm on Friday, December 23, before the First Responders arrived.
At the moment, the team of First Responders is giving the individual the opportunity to return the pot.

A spokesperson from First Responders in Droitwich said: "So last night we had a call asking us to collect one of our charity pots as it was getting full.
"We were also told that last week, people have been placing a lot of money in the pot in support of our charity.
"The venue estimates over £60 in donations in the last week tonight as we're preparing to collect the pot, we had another very upsetting phone call to inform us the pot had been stolen.
"The pot was estimated to have been stolen around 7.10pm from Panda Chinese.
"If anyone has any news on this theft please let us know or contact the police on 101.
"We will update this post with more details once we have spoken to the venue and crime reference number and any CCTV pictures added as soon as we can.
"for now, we would also like to offer the individual an opportunity to return the pot."
