Bring your children to meet Father Christmas and get a present from his sack full of gifts at the NSPCC West London Service Centre next week.

Families in Hounslow with young children are invited to the joint free event with Crane Park Children's Centre which will also include an afternoon of fun festive activities.

There will be face painting, festive arts and crafts, a toys and games room and some nibbles.

Father Christmas will be arriving to Swan House in Hanworth on Wednesday, December 17, at 10am, for two hours.

It's first come first serve so be on time!

Anna Pappin, NSPCC west London service centre team manager said: “We are very pleased to be teaming up with the Crane Park children’s centre to make people aware of the services offered by them and ourselves and encourage people to register for the children’s centre.

“This is a very special time of year and we are really happy to have Santa come visit us and spread his festive cheer.

"We’d like to wish everyone throughout Hanworth and Hounslow a very happy Christmas and New Year from all of us at the NSPCC’s west London service centre.”

The children's centre in nearby Norman Avenue offers services such as stay and play sessions, story and rhyme time, and adult learning and parenting support, for families in the borough and their children aged under five.

Don't forget tomorrow (Dec 10) is the first ever NSPCC's Bobble Hat Day, so put on your festive hat, take a selfie, post it on Twitter and Facebook and donate £2 in aid of the Childline Service.

The West London Service Centre is at Swan House, 203 Swan Road, Hanworth, TW13 6LL.
