Annual Santa Sleigh Runs by Maltby and Rother Valley Lions

The festive season is here, and we’re excited to announce that Maltby and Rother Valley Lions will be embarking on a magical journey through the streets of Rother Valley, accompanied by none other than Santa Claus himself. As we spread holiday cheer, we kindly ask for your support in our charitable efforts. Your generous donations make a significant impact, so any contribution, big or small, is greatly appreciated.

This year, we’re making it even more convenient to support our cause. In addition to traditional cash donations, we’re pleased to accept card donations during our Santa Sleigh Runs. For those who prefer online giving, you can donate securely anytime, all year round, via our website at www.maltbylions.org.uk.

Please be aware that to ensure the smooth flow of our sleigh runs, we won’t be making impromptu stops for photos with Santa. However, don’t worry! You’ll have fantastic photo opportunities at the start of each evening, as listed in our schedules.

Let’s make this holiday season extra special for everyone in Rother Valley. Join us in spreading joy and goodwill, and together, we can make a positive impact on our community.
