Santa Parade raises funds for St Bees RNLI
On Tuesday 29 November the annual Santa parade organised by St Bees Parish Council made its way through the village. A large number of the villagers came out to see Santa and his many elves.
Father Christmas along with his band of cycling elves met the children of the village and then turned on the Christmas lights.
A collection for St Bees RNLI was made during the parade and raised an incredible £295.00.
St Bees volunteers would like to thank Father Christmas for coming, the Parish Council for organising the parade and the villagers of St Bees for their generosity.
All the volunteers at St Bees RNLI would like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a safe New Year.
