Santa returned to Hemel Hempstead in January to thank the representatives of the 25 local community groups and charities who helped Hemel Rotary with their Santa Sleigh street by street routes. Each of them received £350 (financed by the Street Collections) at an event held in Leverstock Green Cricket Club, and attended by The Mayor, Councillor William Allen.
Hemel Rotary collected just over £17,500 from 35 Static & Street events with the Santa Sleigh. Thanks to all those who gave us donations.
Local children in Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley and Abbots Langley were delighted to meet Santa Claus or Mrs Claus or, in some cases, both.
Another presentation of funds will take place in April when Hemel Rotary will then make donations (financed by the Static Collections) to about 25 other local charities.
