I had a visit from St John Ambulance - Hereford & Worcester this morning. No I hadn't done myself a mischief they just came to collect a cheque from Lion Dave Sherwen from the Santa Sleigh money. They have supported the sleigh for many years and have a lot of young members learning great life skills

Sleigh 2023
Preparations are well under way for Santa's visit
Two visits today to Westlands Community centre to give cheques to two splendid organisations there who are working hard for the people of the area. Firstly we went to meet up with Moving forwards on Westland who plan to use the money to help buy stuff for the community pantry and then this evening we met up with DAFFYS ...Droitwich Action for future youth. Their use of the money will also be food related where they will use it to fund teaching young people cooking skills which also has the added incentive that they get to eat the dishes they create and learn skills that will serve them for a lifetime. These donations are possible because of the generosity of Droitwich people when we were out and about with Santa's sleigh.
Thanks to the wonderful generosity of the people of Droitwich we have been able to present some more cheques to great organisations and causes..
Worcester Snoezelen and Fort Royal School, who although based in Worcester cover our town. Worcestershire young Carers and Droitwich Lido Tennis.
Another couple of cheque presentations from the Sleigh funds. St John Ambulance and Kazoo Kan Judo Club. Luckily we weren't thrown around by the former so didn't need any attention from the latter
We are now starting to distribute the money raised from the Sleigh. It is thanks to the generosity of Droitwich people that we are able to do this. These presentations are to St Nics to pay for a football table, Droitwich Spa Cricket club and Droitwich Rugby club to pay for much needed equipment and Droitwich Baptist Church. More to follow
