Twenty years ago, we were looking for a special volunteer to join us.
St John's vicar at the time, Rev Colin Oxenforth, contacted us and said he had the perfect person for the job, and he wasn't wrong.
Ray has been a special part of our community group since our first Christmas Switch on back in 2005, and then our Children's Christmas party. When we toured our estates he eagerly agreed to sit on the Sleigh (in all weathers) and meet all the children who came to meet him. He has brought love, laughter and magic to all our Christmas events, and especially to the hundreds of children he has met.
Ray, who will be 83 next month, has now decided to pass the role to the next person to take over, and we are now looking for that extra special person to take over the role.
An indepth DBS check will be required, due to the nature of this role
Thankyou Ray for the past 20 years of dedication, friendship and making every child's dream come true 🎅
