Volunteer Santa

We would love a volunteer Santa to help spread some Christmas magic at our Family Grotto days at Shooting Star House in Hampton. The dates in 2025 are Saturday 14th December and Sunday 15th December and are split into morning and afternoon sessions. We are looking for a Santa to fill each session and to also be available for the other sessions if someone drops out due to sickness.

If possible we would love a Santa on standby for December 25th at Christopher’s as well.
