Meet Father Christmas and get stuck into some arty crafty festive fun at the NSPCC West London Service Centre.

With the countdown to Christmas underway, young children along with their parents are invited to the NSPCC centre on Swan Road, Hanworth , on Wednesday December 16.

Santa is scheduled to fly in with a sack full of gifts at 10am stopping over for two hours before he has to jump back on his sleigh.

The fun-packed day will continue with activities for under fives including everything from face painting and games to Christmas arts and crafts, while parents indulge in tasty mince pies.

The centre supports families in Hanworth, Feltham, Hounslow and surrounding boroughs through services such as its parent and toddler group.

Anna Holland, NSPCC west London service centre team manager said: “We are very much looking forward to opening our doors to Santa and the community and having the opportunity to chat about the services we offer and sharing some fun, festive activities.

“This is a very special time of year and we would like to wish everyone throughout the west London area a very happy Christmas and New Year from all of us at the NSPCC’s west London service centre. Make sure you arrive early, whilst Santa’s presents last!”

The west London service centre is based at Swan House, 203 Swan Road, Hanworth, TW13 6LL or you can call on 020 3763 2333.
