REDDITCH Round Table's Santa Sleigh starts its rounds this evening with a visit to Church Hill North.

Father Christmas and his snowmen helpers look forward to meeting as many children as possible between now and December 21 - while raising as much money as possible for local causes.

Spokesman David Bush said: "We collect monies from the local area and also give back all of the money to the local people, groups and organisations.

"We do not take any administration or collection charges."
