Deborah Blades from Child Action North West said: “We are overwhelmed and extremely grateful that Bill and the team at Santa’s Slog have chosen to support our cause at a time when it is never more needed.
“At Child Action Northwest, we have continued to provide much needed support for children and families at the time they need it the most, but we rely on our supporters and fundraisers to make sure we can continue to do this.
“Our main fundraising events have been cancelled due to the pandemic, but the Santa’s Slog Charity Event, means we will be able to continue providing our life changing services for children and families in need.
“Our CEO, Sue Cotton would like to express our sincere thanks to all involved, particularly Bill Hodgson for taking on such an enormous task on our behalf, and everyone that has donated so far.”
