Appeal to help build Santa a new sleigh
Southport Visiter
|June 19, 2025
Group looks to businesses for support
PEOPLE in Southport are being asked for their support to help build a new Santa Sleigh for the town.
The appeal has been made by Southport Hesketh Round Table, which has operated the famous 'dancing Santa' sleigh on roads around Southport and beyond for many years, bringing cheer to children and families in the run-up to Christmas.
The selfless volunteers from Southport Hesketh Round Table have had a busy year.
Since the Southport tragedy last year, they have raised more than £180,000 to go directly to all the families affected.
They also carried out lots of Santa sleigh tours; took Pudsey Bear to dozens of schools, businesses and other venues to support Children In Need; volunteered to support the Southport Mad Dog 10k run; and so much more.
In April they were recognised as a finalist in the Sefton Charity Champion category in the 2025 Grand Pride Of Sefton Awards.
