A popular Santa's Grotto Bus is returning to Newcastle in December and the best part is - it is accessible for children with disabilities and free to visit.
Since 2018, Stagecoach and The Chronicle Sunshine Fund have worked in partnership to create an accessible and inclusive Santa's Grotto that is free of charge for families in the North East. While the event has been a firm favourite among supporters of the Sunshine Fund for many years, it has grown in popularity recently as families have faced ongoing financial struggles in a post-pandemic world.
With the cost of living crisis putting unprecedented pressure on thousands of households, many parents are having to make tough decisions about how to spend their income. Unfortunately this will mean many children will not be able to visit Santa where paid tickets are required.
