Santa Grottos Raise Thousands For Sussex Children's Charity

Santa broke all records with his charity grottos in Hassocks and Horsham this year.

Charity grottos this Christmas at South Downs Nurseries in Hassocks and Old Barn Garden Centre at Dial Post have collectively seen over 4,000 children and raised a total figure of £55,000 this year. 

The money raised will go to charity The Budding Foundation, which supports disadvantaged children. https://www.thebuddingfoundation.co.uk/

Rebecca Houghton-Knapp from the family-run garden centre group, said:

"This is a record-breaking amount after our fundraising totals of £23,000 in 2020 and £46,000 in 2019, both pre-Covid. Santa has also seen over 100 children for free through various links to local charities, food banks and schools in his mobile grotto – a converted horsebox kindly loaned by Universal Trailers at Billingshurst for the festive period."
