Santa is touring the Holme Valley in his sleigh … and you really can’t miss him.

The jolly fellow and his elves from Holme Valley Lions are touring the villages and towns throughout December, handing out sweets and collecting cash as they go for groups and families in need across the area.

These include food banks, schools and local charities with every penny Santa raises staying in the Holme Valley. People and groups in the Holme Valley can apply to the Lions for small pots of funding. Apply via the Facebook link below.
