Santa and his sleigh on his way to Clitheroe and Ribble Valley villages for a whistle stop tour

As in previous years Santa’s helpers will be making a cash bucket collection in support of local charities, however this year Santa also wants to collect presents which he will deliver to children in Ukraine via International Aid Trust.

Gifts for Ukraine can include toys, soft toys, toiletries, children clothing, such as gloves, hats and socks and confectionery, that won’t melt.

Anyone who makes a donation is also asked to put a message in with your gift, but do not seal packages.

You can follow Santa’s progress each evening street by street, by going to his Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/RVsanta and then following the link to the tracker app.
