The Isle of Wight Round Table have been spreading Christmas cheer to thousands of people again this year.

For the fourth year in a row, Father Christmas has been chauffeured around various Island towns, in his bid to bring smiles and excitement to people in the run up to the BIG DAY.

More than £4,000 raised so far
In doing so, the Isle of Wight Round Table have raised in excess of £4,000 so far this year with more still to come.

The final amount will be shared between three charities; the IW Brainy Bunch, Carers IW, and the Alzheimer’s Cafè at Parklands.

Metcalfe: There is still time to donate
James Metcalfe, Round Table’s lead organiser for this year’s Sleigh event said,

“We’ve been blown away with this year’s event, but there is still time to donate, so please head to our facebook page and click on one of the donation links.”

Grist: Thank you for your support
Mike Grist, Chairman of Isle of Wight Round Table added,

“The organising committee would like to thank all of their main sponsors, our friends at Ryde Round Table and all the adults and children who walked with us and collected money on our behalf.

“And also to every person who put money in our buckets to pass on to these wonderful charities.”
