Amazing achievement! Massive well done to everyone involved
🎅Our Christmas collections have been amazing, and although we do these nights to raise funds for our local community, we also do them to spread Christmas cheer, to make someone smile, and see the excitement on everyone's faces when Santa waves or even knows their name.
We are absolutely blown away by everyone’s generosity in Folkestone and Cheriton.
You have helped to raise so far a whopping £8,817.41
(this includes gift aid)
This has helped provide 170 food hamper bags to local families who need a little extra support this Christmas.
It also helps fund local good causes, local initiatives and charities.
We want to say a few special thanks,
🪵Tag Trees Ltd
Without Tag trees, Santa would be stuck at the North Pole. They have given up their evenings and a truck for the last 4 years to chauffeur Santa safely and in style around the streets of Folkestone and Cheriton.
🏡Folkestone Care Centre
Folkestone Care Centre joined us this year and became one of our first Corporate members, and they have genuinely embraced the Rotarian motto - Service above self. They helped to provide over 30 'elves' for our Christmas nights.
🛒Asda Folkestone
Mandy at Folkestone Asda is a true legend and helps pick stock and order the large amounts of food we need for all the food hampers each year.
🎄Folkestone Harbour Arm
Have hosted our Santa for the last few years now, allowing us to meet and talk to everyone who may have missed us on our nights.
❤️You
Without you, we couldn’t do what we do. You cheered us on, waved, some gave sweet treats, smiled, sang along with Santa, gave high fives, and donated. You help bring the Christmas magic to your neighbour and local community.
