“Collecting money for Rotary projects”
They’ll be sweets for children and Santa’s helpers will be collecting money for projects supported by Rotary.
President of the Swanage and Purbeck Rotary, Chris Le Fevre said:
“We’re delighted to be helping Santa visit Swanage again this year. A number of elves will be in support collecting money for Rotary projects.
“These include support for schools and pre-schools in Swanage, Corfe and Langton, the Rotary Young Musician competition, help for those struggling with cost of living issues and our annual tea party for senior citizens.”
