Santa’s Sleigh 2020

Thank you so much to everyone in our community here in Henley and Shiplake for making Santa’s Sleigh such a huge success. As late as the beginning of December we weren’t sure if we would even be allowed to take Santa and his sleigh out on to the streets. Once we were given permission we worked tirelessly to make it happen. Our team, led by Lion Pam Phillips, pulled together and with the help of countless volunteers took Santa on his travels around the town for nine nights. The generosity of the people of Henley was amazing and, in the end we raised in excess of £5,000 for local charities. Santa had a great time and was thrilled to see so many children come out to greet him. All in all, it turned out to be a huge success and one that Santa will be talking about for many months to come.
