We very much regret that, owing to the Pandemic and very strict regulations on social distancing, the Father Christmas Floats of Rotary Dukinfield & Stalybridge will not be touring the streets or visiting the Supermarkets of Tameside this year.

Father Christmas is very unhappy about this situation and he hopes that things will be back to normal next year. In the meantime, he and all his Helpers are working very hard to make toys and presents to deliver on Christmas Day for Children all over the World.

By not being able to collect donations personally this year, we have set up a Just Giving page to enable people to donate if they can. The money that we collect at Christmas is then put back into our local communities by supporting local projects and people in need. This year we have been able to support groups through our Dragons Den event (which will go ahead again in 2021, check our website in the New Year for details), meals for children during the half term holidays, Steve Bartons food bank, housing for the rabbits at Noahs Art, to name but a few.

Rotary represents Service Above Self and we at Rotary Dukinfield & Stalybridge do everything we can to honour this.

Your kind donations will help us continue to support local projects. So, thank you for your help and we look forward to being back on the streets with Santa next Christmas.

We wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas.
