Santa Float

Mon, Dec 16th 2024 at 6:00 pm- Fri, Dec 20th 2024 - 8:00 pm

The Project Local Santa Float is our annual collaboration with other service organisations in Brighouse. Walking the streets collecting money!


Christmas 2023

We again thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Santa Float week.  It was wonderful to see all the excited children and their parents greeting us as we approached.  The public were very generous, as usual, and a total of £4,290 was raised for local charities.  Thanks to everyone in Brighouse Rotary, Brighouse 41 Club, Brighouse Ladies Circle and Brighouse Inner Wheel who come together under Project Local to run this event.

Santa will be touring the usual routes again this year. 

Please note if the float can't drive down the road it has to be missed out
