THE Rotary Club of Westhoughton toured the streets with Father Christmas for two weeks before that exciting Christmas night, and helped him to meet lots of children and hand out lollies.
He was very impressed by the generosity of the people of Westhoughton that he and his helpers met. They managed to collect no less than £3,770.32
The Club will be donating this over the next few months to causes which benefit the people in Westhoughton: old, youth and young.
Many of these will be presented at an evening with representatives of local organisations in March.
