Santa Claus update - From the North Pole!
A Very Special Announcement from Santa Claus!
Ho Ho Here we go again everyone!
The countdown has begun ready for the very first night when my Santa Bus will be Coming to Town! Santa Claus is Coming to Town!
We are the very first and still the largest Santa Bus in the whole UK!
And if you are a local business you could be one of my Business Santa Bus Collection Points. Why not sign up now?
This week my lovely team at Brighton & Hove Buses arranged for myself and Elf Sam to travel to the Royal Pavilion to meet with the Deputy Lieutenant of East Sussex, Juliet Olsworth- Peter and Brighton & Hove Mayor, Cllr Mohammed Asaduzzaman to announce this year's 12 Santa Bus Charities.
This year's Santa Bus Charities are:
Martlets, Chestnut Tree House, Brighton and Hove Museums, Rockinghorse Children's Charity, Amaze, Clock Tower Sanctuary, Fareshare Sussex & Surrey, Together Co, Possability People, WRAS East Sussex Wildlife Rescue, Mind Out and Brighton Women's Centre.

And what a delightful jolly time we all had spending time with representatives from all the 12 Charities.
After cake, tea and carrots for Rudolf I returned to my workshop at the North Pole to continue getting ready for Christmas.
In November, on my return to Brighton & Hove, I will be travelling onboard my Brighton & Hove Open Top Bus covering 20 routes over 20 nights whilst also making a couple of extra Santa Stops - to include a visit to see the children at the Chestnut Tree House.

As always, a huge jolly thank you to each and everyone of you who support my Santa Bus whether by donating, by volunteering, by being a collection point or simply by coming out to give me a festive wave as we pass you by!
It is all very much appreciated.
Everyone who takes part are colleagues joining from across the bus company as well as volunteers joining us from across the city.
My Brighton & Hove Buses Open-Top Santa Bus is decorated with 10,700 lights and plays Christmas music while I wave from the top deck.
How fabulously festive is that!
In previous years my Santa Bus has raised over £417,000 for local charities and organisations since it began in 2003. You can donate by clicking the donation button below.
