A Merseyside family has transformed their home into a Christmas Grotto for a very special reason.
Families can have the opportunity to talk to, or write to Santa as he arrives in St Helens thanks to Shane Ferguson and his family. The dad-of-three has turned the outside of his home on Upland Road into a winter wonderland, with dozens of lights, a grotto and a 20ft inflatable Santa.
Since 2015, Shane has been bringing Christmas to his community in November to pay tribute to both his dad and sister who "loved Christmas". But as it grew every year, and the display got bigger and better, he decided to raise funds for Willowbrook Hospice after hearing they were "struggling" for donations.
