THE Royal Tunbridge Wells Round table [RTWRT] were out collecting for Nourish Community Foodbank last week, with a familiar figure in his sleigh.
The men’s group took Santa (aka Simon Addis) around the streets of Tunbridge Wells last week to collect food parcels.
Around four tonnes of pasta, tinned vegetables, soup and other food parcel items were handed to the group.
Phil Hardy-Bishop from RTWRT said: “Thank you to the people of Tunbridge Wells for their amazing donations to this worthy cause.
“We also hope Santa and our team have spread some Christmas spirit to the people of Tunbridge Wells with the Christmas music and sleigh. We are very much looking forward to doing it again next year.”
He also told the Times following the adding up of all their charitable donations received during the Dunorlan fireworks last month, they have raised £50,000.
This is the highest amount ever raised by the event in its 60-year history.
Chairman of RTWRT, Daldeep Jaswal said: “I’d like to say a huge thank you to local people for coming along to support our event. It has enabled us to provide much needed funds for all those very worthy good causes and organisations.
The money will be handed to a number of charities at the group’s giveaway event on Sunday, March 20. Good causes who wish to apply for funding should visit rtwrt.org
