We had a great, albeit smaller, group tackling a shorter route with tonights Santa sleigh collections. Thanks to our experience last week we were entrusted with a vital responsibility: marshalling the sleigh.

Ensuring excited children and keen photographers experienced the magic safely. The team did a brilliant job guiding the crowds, keeping a watch on the sleigh, and facilitating smooth, safe interactions. Along the route others joined us to help with the collections and it was all completed very quickly.

It was a great evening supporting the Rotary team and collecting for Merton Mencap, meeting a few familiar and new faces along the way and despite a little persistent drizzle, the festive atmosphere and the sight of all the happy faces meant we enjoyed every minute.

Well done team!
