Father Christmas has been busy touring Harpenden this month, and still has a few stops left.

Harpenden Roundtable is running the Santa Collection to raise money for Round Table Childrens Wish charity, which grants the wishes of children between 3-17 who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses, The Sick Children's Trust who provide free accommodation to parents with children in intensive care at 6 hospitals across England including Great Ormond Street, Royal London Children's Hospital and Addenbrooke's and The A-T (Ataxia-Telangiectasia) Society - the only UK charity to provide practical and emotional support for A-T families.

Russell Husbands, chairman of Harpenden Roundtable, said: "We are delighted to be supporting these fantastic charities, as always, we try to support charities that can really provide support for children in need of it and the families who care for them."
