Members of Braintree Lions took Father Christmas and his reindeer around Rayne and Braintree to raise money for local charities.

Volunteers from Helen Rollason Cancer Charity and Macmillan Cancer Support helped at two collections and Father Christmas finishes his travels on Friday on the White Court estate.

On Saturday, the Lions also treated 19 elderly residents to Christmas lunch at the Bocking Social Club and organised presents and travel.
