The temperature hovered around freezing.
Nevertheless, in co-operation with our Roundhay friends, we raised approximately £2000.00 for Zarach and for St.Gemma’s.
The event took place over three consecutive days (December 16-19), directly in front of Sainsbury’s store, at Moor Allerton.
The new Gazebo (purchased jointly by Leeds and Roundhay) was decorated internally as Santa’s Grotto and proved a hit with all the children who visited.
Our Santas - David Waddington and Carl Evans - did an absolutely amazing job!
Our Volunteers braved the weather and were very successful in enticing children into the Grotto and persuading others to donate to the two charities.
