Thank you for visiting and voting for me to win the X-mas Factor!

1. Why does Mencap need it's very own Santa?

It's Christmas in the credit crunch, so while everyone is out hunting for a bargain, it's my job as Mencap Santa to remind you all to give a few pounds to help people in the North West with a learning disability this Christmas!

2. What special qualities do I have that make me the perfect Santa for 2008?

As a "profesional" volunteer I understand the spirit of giving something back, especialy during the festive season. I was also the only member of the team willing to dress up in tinsel so I should definitely get some sponsors for that!

3. Santa is responsible for upholdin the magic and spirit of Christmas. My Christmas wish for Mencap is....

To make sure everyone with a learning disability has equal rights and gets the chance to volunteer with me!

I am only one of a number of  Santa ‘Wannabees’. If you would like to see who my competitors are this year you can visit their links below. But please PLEASE don’t vote for them, VOTE FOR ME – after all, you don’t want to risk being put you onto my ‘naughty children’ list do you?!
