Spread festive cheer and support local people experiencing homelessness
Could you be one of Santa’s little helpers this Christmas? The Rotary Club of Twickenham upon Thames will once again be bringing festive magic to the streets as Santa tours Twickenham in his Carol Wagon – raising vital funds for local charities, including SPEAR.
Even Father Christmas needs a hand, and we’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join him between 1 – 15 December. Each evening from 5.45 to 8pm, Santa’s team of trainee elves helps guide the sleigh, knock on doors, greet excited children and collect donations to support the Rotary’s chosen charities.
This heart-warming community tradition has been delighting families for generations – many parents now bringing their children to see Santa remember doing the same when they were little!
Santa needs six volunteers each night, so why not gather a group of friends or colleagues and make an evening of it?
Interested?
Elves are recruited on a first-come, first-served basis, so please get in touch early to secure your spot.
- Weekdays, 1-15 December
- 5.45 to 8pm
- Various routes around Twickenham (see below)
- fundraising@spearlondon.org
The more SPEAR supporters who get involved, the more funds we can raise to help people in our community.
Currently there are enough elves for 1, 2, 5, 10 and 15 December.
