We’ll also be helping Father Christmas deliver presents on Christmas morning at a cost of £5 per present. If you would like him to deliver a present on your behalf, clearly mark it with the child’s name and address and take it to Chief Elf Graham Denyer at 5 Knowles Close, Henfield on Monday 19th, Tuesday 20th or Wednesday 21st December between 4-7pm. No large presents please as sleigh space is limited (contact Graham on 01273 492402).
The Henfield BP Guild would like to thank everyone that has helped support us and our activities over the past year and we look forward to your continued support in 2023. Please remember that all the money we raise throughout the year with the kind support of the village is spent on good causes in and around our great village. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
