Club kicks off Christmas with Santa's grotto
The Chronicle
|December 23, 2025
A GRASSROOTS football club has provided hundreds of children with Christmas presents after creating a Santa's Grotto.
Newcastle East End FC offered children the chance to meet Santa and pick their own present this weekend.
The club, based in Walkergate, Newcastle, have been putting on a Santa's Grotto since 2021 and it has grown bigger every year.
On Sunday, they had around 450 presents to give out to children as well as hampers which would be won on a raffle.
Charlie Scott, 76, set up Newcastle East End FC with his late son Kelly in 1995. The pair began 30 years ago with two teams and grew the club into one of the biggest in the North East. They now have 32 teams and around 400 members.
