Alton Lions Club launched its busy Christmas programme on November 12 with the posting of festive postcards through the doors of those living in Alton and the surrounding villages.
The aim of the cards is to raise funds to support the provision of vouchers and gifts to families and individuals in need over Christmas, and those suffering from social isolation or separated from their families.
There will also be a trolley collection at Alton Sainsbury’s in aid of the Christmas gifts appeal.
Anyone knowing of anybody in need in Alton or the surrounding villages who would benefit from vouchers and/or a gift this Christmas should email www.altonlions.org.uk
The sparkling build-up to Christmas will continue from December 4 to 18 when Alton Lions will bring Santa’s sleigh to visit those living in Alton and Holybourne.
The dates and routes have been published on the Alton Santa website at www.altonsanta.org.uk/routes-dates
Any adults who would like to volunteer to be part of the Alton Santa team should send an email to [email protected]
They will then be sent a login to book on to Alton Santa runs on behalf of the Alton Lions Club.
Any donations raised on the runs will be used to support local good causes.
