Following our Santa Sleigh evenings across the Wyre Forest in December, plus weekend visits to local supermarkets, Bewdley Rotary wrapped up the season with a fantastic Christmas Sleigh Gala Evening on 15th January – and what a night it was!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we’re delighted to announce a total of £9,012.26 raised for charities and local good causes.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, or volunteered. This amazing total truly shows what can be achieved when our community comes together with compassion and festive goodwill.

Special thanks to the local groups who volunteered their time to help and received well-earned donations:

🎁 Kidderminster Prostrate Cancer Group

🎁 Sociables Hub & CREWS

🎁 The Civic

🎁 Wyre Forest Citizens-Advice

🎁 Wribbenhall Guides

🎁 Bewdley Scouts Group

🎁 WF9 Scout Group


The Gala Evening was more than a celebration – it was a powerful reminder of the positive impact local support can make.

Looking ahead! Bewdley Rotary has already applied for a licence to run the Santa Sleigh from 1st to 21st December 2026 and will be visiting more locations in our three towns.
