The Friends of Sandy Christmas Lights is looking for volunteers

The Friends of Sandy Christmas Lights is looking for volunteers to help organise and run Sandy's 2022 Christmas lights event.

The switch-on is traditionally Sandy’s largest annual community event and the group needs support to make sure it can run this year, after losing members since the start of the pandemic.

A Friends of Sandy Christmas Lights spokesman said: "Traditionally, the event includes a full programme of stage entertainment, with musicians, singers and carols from local school groups.

"There is also a Santa’s grotto, funfair, street performers, and a large, varied festive market - plus, of course, the all-important switch-on by the town's Carnival Prince and Princess."

Volunteers are needed both during the planning stages (meetings are just once per month) and also on the day of this event - which, this year, will be Sunday, November 27.

Support is needed in a variety of roles, including fundraising, finance and media/communications.

If you are interested in helping to support this important community event, please email the FoSCL Chair, Gee Leach, at [email protected] or contact the Town Council at [email protected] or on 01767 681491.
