Lincoln’s overwhelming support for Santa’s Last Stop
The organisers of Santa’s Last Stop say they have been overwhelmed by the support people have shown for their mission to provide a special breakfast for struggling families on Christmas morning.
Here’s the latest update from co-ordinator Kellie-Marie Bryan: “We’ve been overwhelmed (in the most wonderful way) by the response to Santa’s Last Stop. The support pouring in from across Lincoln has been nothing short of incredible. The kindness, the offers of help, the shares, the messages -every single one means the world. Thank you!
“Last week we held our very first volunteer Meet and Greet, and it was amazing to see so many brilliant people stepping forward to help us bring the magic to life. We’re now mapping out the roles we need on the day and beginning to assign our volunteer team and it’s all starting to take shape beautifully.
“We are still looking for a DJ to bring the festive energy and get the little ones (and the grown-ups!) dancing. If you know someone who could spare a couple of hours on Christmas morning, please point them our way.
“Families are now registering through Eventbrite, excitement is building, and everything is coming together more perfectly than we could have imagined. You can already feel how special this morning is going to be.
“Thank you, Lincoln. You’re helping us create something truly magical this Christmas.”
Santa’s Last Stop will take place from 10am to 12pm on Christmas Day at St Swithin’s, Community Centre on Croft Street, Lincoln, with around 150 guests.
Kellie Marie explained: “It’s designed for vulnerable families with young children, giving them a chance to enjoy a relaxed, joyful Christmas morning surrounded by music, smiles, and festive cheer, completely free of charge.
“The idea is simple - to create a VIP experience where families feel valued, celebrated, and part of something wonderful. For two hours, we want to fill the room with sparkle -from carol singers and children’s entertainers to elves, fairies, and of course, a very special visit from Santa himself.”
