Sants trucks in for fair
CHILDREN’S charity Jolly Josh has announced a series of festive fundraising events, including a Christmas fair.
Based at Ensor Mill in Castleton it is hosting a Festive Floral Afternoon Tea, Jingle Bell Jumper Day and a traditional Christmas Fair.
The fair will take place on Saturday, November 26, between 10am and 3pm and will feature craft and gift stalls and festive fundraising fun, along with Graham Poole Transport’s amazing Santa sleigh truck.
Centre manager Sarah Ford said: “We are really looking forward to our first fair at the centre, there will be some fabulous stalls, Father and Mother Christmas and of course, our own mascot Jolly Josh himself.
“It will be an opportunity for everyone in our community to have fun and raise funds for Jolly Josh and also an opportunity for our Jolly Josh families to enjoy a fully accessible day out.”
The Santa Sleigh truck, covered in festive lights will be taking pride of place outside the centre to spread Christmas cheer and welcome everyone.
Graham Poole said: “Driving our Christmas Truck around the borough is now a tradition and one that everyone enjoys.
“Jolly Josh is a wonderful charity that everyone here at Graham Poole Transport is keen to support so we are delighted to be able to bring Father and Mother Christmas and their amazing sleigh to the Jolly Josh Christmas Fair.
“Throughout the year we do all we can to promote and support Jolly Josh.
“We are all really looking forward to seeing all the little ones’ faces on the day, it will be magical.”
