Santa Sleigh Round Iwade
On the 16th December, Santa will return for a second visit, this time in aid of SATEDA (a domestic abuse charity). The aim will be to cover the butterfly estate, Teal Way (and surrounding roads), Monins (and surrounding roads), Cormorant (and surrounding roads). Volunteers are needed for this second round (and this Saturday if you fancy it)
Listen out for the music and the bell, wrap yourself up warm and come outside to wave and pop any loose change into our collection buckets. It's all for a fantastic cause. Because mobile coverage is so dismal here, we'll be hoping we can rely on you to chart our progress through the village!
The Santa Sleigh Rounds are run entirely by volunteers, so please be kind if we can't cover your road.
