The burglary offence saw Doran entering the 'Essentials' shop at the Countess of Chester Hospital and stealing a charity box from within on March 2, 2025.
And the theft 'including by finding' had involved him stealing a charity box from The British Legion in Connah's Quay, which happened on October 31, 2025.
Ms Jackson told the court that the estimated value of the Essentials charity box was £700, and the value of the British Legion charity box was £200-£250.
Hannah Kelly, defending, asked the court to consider adjourning the sentencing hearing in order for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.
The judge told Doran he'd taken money from charities who rely on donations.
