A BIG Thank you from Santa
This Christmas, Congleton Santa spent 20 nights, visiting over 11,000 houses, collecting over £13,000! Thanks to the hard work of our team of volunteers, collectors and the amazing generosity of the people of Congleton. It’s being shared out amongst the local good causes within the Congleton area.
A big THANK YOU on behalf of the good causes and Congleton Santa. If we have accidentally missed any houses on the routes, Santa & the team are very sorry as we know the importance of sharing goodwill to all we try to see.
In 2025 we supported numerous local good causes and made donations to Buglawton Scouts, Centre Stage, Friends for Leisure, Mossley Preschool, Mossley PTA, Titans, Vale Juniors, Visyon and Dougie Mac Hospice in Barlaston.
That’s just to name a few of the causes supported by collectors on the nights.
We are thankful as ever to the many supporters of Santa’s annual town visit including Pooles Recovery for their invaluable support in getting Santa around, Alpha and Street Legal Tyres and Congleton Town Council for storing the sleigh.
Thanks to the local businesses for their corporate donations that help fund the running costs. Plus the local shops that take collection buckets during December, including Plant Paradise West Heath, Lower Heath Chippy, Jollyes, Iceland, Leek Building Society, Astbury Garden Centre Café, Bargain Booze West Heath, High Town Post Office, Wetherspoons, The Rams Head, The Railway, The Farmers Arms, Heath Farm, The Beartown Tap, Well Pharmacy, Premier Hightown, Morrisons Buglawton, No 43 sandwich shop, Spar Canal Road, Central Coop and Bromley Coop and a massive shout out to all the local businesses and individuals who donated treats for Santa to distribute on his tour!
