Wigan Rotary Club prepares the way for Santa's annual charity tour of the area


Members of Wigan Rotary Club will again be accompanying Santa around the streets of Wigan throughout December, as well as Tesco on Central Park Way Wigan and Cross Street Hindley.
The Rotary Choir will once again be in the Grand Arcade during the day for a Wigan town centre collection on Saturday December 13.
Heather Hartley, Wigan Rotary Club’s president, said: "We all look forward to this time of year.
"Rotarians enjoy seeing the happy smiling faces on children and parents alike.
"Make sure you know where we are each day so you can be ready and waiting for us.
"We are so grateful for everyone’s generosity and all the donations we receive, many people benefit each year both locally and overseas as a result.
“We have extra venues this year where Santa will be in attendance to talk to the children or if he is busy, Mrs Santa will join in the fun."
The event is both about collecting money for good causes and spreading festive joy to local communities.
Please see the list of dates when Santa is likely to be down your way, and readers can look at the clubs website www.wiganrotaryclub.co.uk
