In the charity's own words
We coordinate a Santa street collection. We provide a sleigh, a towing vehicle, sweets, a Santa and a chief elf to local good causes. The local good causes provide the collectors. Each night we collect across a different area of Congleton, with a different local good cause providing the collectors. The good cause group receives the bulk of the nights collection.
