SANTA usually only delivers late on Christmas Eve, but with help from Westhoughton Rotary Club he has helped bring some joy into the New Year too.
The Rotary club's annual Father Christmas tour raised a record £4,160 through generous donations and now the money can be distributed.
"We're delighted to have been able to help by collecting this much needed money", said club president Mike Johnson.
"But we're just as pleased to have brought so much pleasure to parents and children throughout the area. A big thank you to everyone who gave so generously."
