Thanet’s Santa bus raising money for Demelza children’s hospice appeal

Thanet's Santa bus

Staff at Thanet’s Stagecoach depot have gone all out with their Santa bus this year.

Handrails have been turned into candy canes, there are pine-scented baubles and chocolates are handed out by a driver dressed as Santa Claus to turn it into a winter wonderland.

The bus can be found serving routes across Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs. Thanet’s Santa bus, raising money for Demelza’s Festive Wishes, has raised over £765 as of December 12.

Stagecoach South East has also got into the festive spirit by supporting Margate’s Christmas Fair by sponsoring the Santa’s Grotto and donating Christmas trees and decorations to the William Harvey, Kent & Canterbury and QEQM hospitals.

Joel Mitchell, Managing Director for Stagecoach South East said, “I’m so proud of our team in the South East for all the incredible work they’ve done this Christmas, supporting some incredible charities and initiatives happening across Kent and East Sussex.”
