MALVERN Hills Lions raised £1,964 from their Santa Claus sleigh this Christmas.

For the first time, the sleigh was parked at a single location instead of touring the town.

The Lions wish to thank Morrison’s supermarket for providing a pitch for the sleigh.

The Lions raised a further £2,105 from thier Christmas hampers which were raffled at pubs around the area.

Top in the fund-raising stakes was the Fox Inn at Bransford which reached £500.

The Prince of Wales in Ledbury was also commended for collecting £241.

Funds from the Santa sleigh and the raffle will be used to finance the Lions’ charitable work.
