Supported by children, parents, carers, staff and the local community, the Santa Drive was a resounding success! Several local businesses donated generous raffle prizes which boosted our raffle of hampers, and a multitude of other exciting prizes, including a cash prize of £50.

The raffle was held in the middle of an exciting evening and is always so exciting - the raffle table just bursting with an abundance of gifts.

The hall was bursting with Santa Drive players, so we expanded into another classroom, then another and then another… it was so full!

Each table had several winners. There were 4 Santa games and a winner at the end of each game. Winning meant a dip into the chocolate bucket! Most families went away with something - chocolate, or a raffle prize. Laughter, good banter and chat – all good fun!

Thank you families and the wider community for your support, donations of prizes to hampers and the raffle and for buying tickets.
