Author: Well what a year 2020 was, it started with so much promise and hope then in March it quickly went downhill. The whole country suffered as a direct result of COVID-19 and its a year that no one will forget. Without dwelling to much on this horrible year we can only thank everyone that helped and supported us and our wider Buttercup Family throughout the Year.
Christmas 2020. We needed something different, a little bit of happiness and excitement to end the year with smiles and joy. Boy did we do it, The whole of East Ardsley, Thorpe, Tingley and West Ardsley certainly got a big suprise. Santa Clause came to town.
We took a telephone call from Kayli Reid who asked if Karl would fancy been Santa ? Without hestitation We jumped at the opportunity. (Karl loves anything like this and has been Santa many many times) . But this time we wanted it special after a rubbish year . So we said That we are not doing just door to door “We want to build a sleigh !!”
Lia said where you going to get a sleigh in 3 week . His reply was I don’t know but the kids are having Santa on a Sleigh in East Ardsley !!! Lia went to her evening job 3 Wednesdays before Christmas and when she got back home that evening don’t think karl had not found a trailer and arranged to collect it the night after !!! Can anyone believe on theses photos this turned into our amazing Sleigh that gave so much pleasure to so many families just before Christmas . Making it more magical . So many people have been behind this but with Karl’s friends , Buttercup families which all will be listed on the Mission Christmas 2020 Page soon. . Between them they created our festive sleigh . We are so proud of everything that we acheived and we thank everyone for getting involved, specially all the Elves.
This event was in aid of Cash for Kids #MissionChristmas and we managed to raise a magnificent amount of £1040.54p
