Santa Collection Drive
December 2025
The Rotary Club of New Mills, Marple and District is delighted to launch its annual Santa Collection Drive, a much-loved tradition that brings festive joy and community spirit to our local neighbourhoods.
Each year, Santa sets out on his brightly decorated sleigh, accompanied by a team of dedicated Rotary volunteers whose enthusiasm and goodwill help light up the season. Children and families gather along the routes to wave, smile, and share in the magic, making this event one of the most heart-warming highlights of the year.
The Santa Collection Drive is more than a festive celebration — it is a meaningful effort to support those in need within our community. All donations collected will go directly towards local charities, helping provide vital assistance and resources to individuals and families throughout the holiday period and beyond.
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who supports this initiative. Your kindness and generosity help us continue spreading warmth, hope, and happiness across New Mills, Marple, and the High Peak.
