Christmas at the Eden Centre, High Wycombe

Pepper News

The new Eden centre in High Wycombe featured a Santa's Grotto, supported by the Bucks Free Press, which, raised over £900 for Pepper. It cost £2 to visit Santa – 50p to cover a copy of the Bucks Free Press, 50p towards the cost of the photographer and the remaining £1 to Pepper which just goes to prove that around 900 children sat on Santa's knee during the pre Christmas period.

The part of Santa (one of the real Santa's stand-in's during his very busy time) was Councillor Doug Anson MBE, a District and County Councillor and former Mayor of Marlow. Jonathan Tweed – Chairman of the Pepper Foundation, together with Karen Buchanan – Pepper Administrator and Liz Clarke – Pepper Fundraising attended the offices of the Bucks Free Press in High Wycombe to collect an extremely generous cheque.
