The six foot high tree was firmly chocked into position in the santa sleigh
style trailer and then decorated with fairy lights, baubles and
streamers and capped with a star. After testing the lights and sound system, fitting Santa's sleigh
with a hand sanitiser station, and
socially distancing collection buckets, their work was done and the 2021 tree was ready to roll.
As
in previous years Durham County Council and the Management of the
Newgate Centre gave permission for the trailer to be parked in the usual
spot. The decorated tree and Christmas Music certainly attracted the
attention of the public who gave generously to our two Christmas
Charities, Great North Air Ambulance Service & Macmillan Nurses.
