Hemel Hempstead Santa Sleigh

2022 was the 7th year of our Hemel Rotary Santa Sleigh bringing joy to the children (and adults) of Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley and this year Abbots Langley.

24 street by street routes were undertaken between 25th November and 23rd December and we held a number of static collections giving children the opportunity to have their photograph taken with Santa or indeed Mrs Claus.

We were again extremely grateful to our collector organisations who helped with each street by street route and our Friends of Rotary who assisted with the Static collections.

Our Santa Sleigh activity raised £15000 to donate back to the local community.

Donations of £350 each were made to our collector organisations (see below) and donations of £200 were made to 26 local groups and organisations (see below).

Additionally donations were made to Collett School to contribute to the cost of pupils attending Kids Out at Whipsnade Zoo, Frogmore Mill, Leverstock Green Cricket Club and DCT.

We are always looking for helpers during our very active Christmas season especially with our static collection.

If you feel you could assist by doing a shift at a static collection, being a Santa or Mrs Claus or if you have a tow bar on your car could you help with towing the sleigh?
