Saltcoats Christmas Carnival

Kyle Haddow receiving the award from Jim Jackson

Hunterston Rotary support the Saltcoats Christmas Carnival

On Wednesday evening Hunterston Rotary were delighted to present the October Community award of £200 to Kyle Haddow, chairman of the Saltcoats community action group. The group are seeking support and volunteers for the - Saltcoats Christmas Carnival 2024. The event will provide a free day out for families and individuals of all ages in the Three Towns community. It includes, entertainment throughout the town with local and up and coming artists, Santas Grottos and a disco, activities in Saltcoats Town Hall, Santa abseiling from the clock tower and a fairground. 

Accepting the award Kyle said;

“Saltcoats Christmas Carnival as delighted to have this contribution towards purchasing selection boxes and children's book to issue out to kids attending the grottos to meet Santa.

Unfortunately, last year the event was cancelled due to lack of volunteers, however this year, we now have a strong committee appointed to ensure the event continues within the town. 

It’s heart-breaking knowing that there are many kids within the three towns that will wake up on Christmas Day without any gifts and this why we are striving this year to make sure every kid that attends the event can receive a gift and have that experience with Santa.

The day will be filled with fun activities from; Colouring in competition/Fairground/Magician/live entertainment and much more.Thanks again to Hunterston Rotary Club for their continued support.”
