THANKS to the generosity of residents, council staff, and local organisations, Santa’s Cause distributed over 1,000 gifts to families in the Vale in time for Christmas.
The Vale Council launched Santa’s Cause 2023, aiming to give a Christmas gift to every child and young person who otherwise may go without.
The campaign received hundreds of donations. In the lead-up to Christmas, the Council’s Flying Start and Social Services teams were busy distributing the gifts to families across the county.
Alongside support from local businesses, community groups and venues across the Vale have organised their own fundraising and gift-giving initiatives to provide for the cause. On 1st December Hen Goleg Day Service Centre in Barry hosted a Christmas Fayre, raising £700 for the campaign.
Cllr Lis Burnett, Leader of the Council said: “I am incredibly proud of our organisation and communities for supporting Santa’s Cause. The campaign has been a huge collaborative effort, and every donation, big or small, has played a role in making it a success.
“Whether you shared the cause on social media, donated a present, contributed money, or offered your services, from us and hundreds of families across the Vale… Thank you.”
