Sir – On behalf of the Rotary Club of Skipton Craven I would like to thank everyone in Skipton and the surrounding villages of Bradley, Carleton and Embsay who greeted and supported our Santa with his sleigh and elves during his visits before Christmas. Your generosity was outstanding and resulted in almost £7,000 being added to our collection for local causes and charities. We were most heartened by the welcome we received from all the children and the comments made by parents on the 11 nights of Santa’s journey.

We would also like to thank publicly both Morrisons and Tesco supermarkets for allowing us to collect on their premises which added over £1,000 to our collection.
