STOURBRIDGE and Kingswinford Lions will be bringing Christmas cheer to the streets with their seasonal Santa's sleigh tour in the run-up to the festive period.

The group will be touring the Stourbridge area, Kingswinford, Hagley and Halesowen throughout December to give kids the chance to meet Father Christmas as well as helping to boost funds for borough charities.

The Lions will be giving the money they raise to needy charities and organisations across the borough - and groups wishing to join them en-route can also raise cash for their own causes.

This year's sleigh routes are:

Saturday November 26 - Stourbridge town centre (10am to 3pm) and Withymoor (4pm to 8pm).

Sunday November 27 - Charterfields, Kingswinford (4pm to 8pm).

Friday December 2 - Hagley (6pm to 8pm).

Saturday December 3 - Halesowen town centre (10am to 3pm) and Halesowen west (4pm to 8pm).

Sunday December 4 - Pedmore/Wollescote (4pm to 8pm).

Friday December 9 - Kingswinford town centre (10am to 3pm) and Valley Fields area (6pm to 8pm).

Saturday December 10 - Norton/Wollaston (4pm to 8pm).

Sunday December 11 - Wordsley (4pm to 8pm).

Friday December 16 - Amblecote/Penfields (6pm to 8pm).

Sunday December 18 - Pedmore - Redlake Drive/Stuarts Green (4pm to 8pm).

Lions member Rob Owen said: "This year we have more routes than previous years and we are therefore in need of as much help as possible.

"We would like to hear from any organisations that would like to help us and also raise money for their own good cause."
