Every year Bilston and Wolverhampton West Rotary Club help bring Santa to Bilston but this year, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, members found they were unable to raise funds for his sleigh to go out on the roads.

To ensure children do not miss out on seeing the festive gentleman, the company, based in Millfields Road, Wolverhampton, has donated £1,000 to enable Santa to visit the local area with a gift for each child that attends the Bilston Christmas Lights Switch-on ceremony at 5.30pm on November 26.

The company is the UK's fastest growing overnight-palletised freight network and has sponsored the Rotary Club by £1,000 to enable Santa to pay a visit.
