SANTA was real in Winchester this Sunday as more than one thousand runners took to the streets in a fun run for charity.
Naomi House and Jacksplace held their 16th annual Santa Fun Run on December 7, aiming to raise £50,000.
This money would provide a year of care for children and young people at their hospices and care facilities.
Paul Morgan, director of fundraising at Naomi House, said: “It’s magic, truly an event that has grown and grown.
“My encouragement is to give us £5 this Christmas, it makes all the difference in the world to help support life-limited young people and children. We, as a charity, support the most poorly people in our community.”
Also attending the event was the Mayor of Winchester, Councillor Sudhakar Achwal, who started the race with festive words of encouragement.
To the Chronicle, Mayor Achwal said: “It's wonderful. Naomi’s House and Jacksplace are a wonderful group of people. The charity, they look after all these young children, they really are salt of the earth.”
