After the fundraiser was adapted to enable it to go ahead amid Covid restrictions last year, organisers say the team of volunteers plan to once again join Santa on his route with collection tins going from door to door this year as in the past.

Despite not being able to collect money while out on the streets in 2020 due to the pandemic, the Christmas fundraiser raised a total of £7127 through online donations last year for Strathcarron Hospice, Falkirk Food Bank, and Falkirk Mental Health Association (FDAMH).

It is hoped the event will once again raise tons of cash for good causes.

An online JustGiving page has again been set up for this year, as well as volunteers collecting cash on doorsteps.

All they money raised this year will be split between two charities – Strathcarron Hospice and organ donation charity Live Life Give Life.

Santa and his sleigh hit the streets from this Sunday evening for three weeks.
