Petone kids could miss out on Christmas
Father Christmas might not make it to Petone, as coronavirus threatens to claim another victim.
The Jackson Street Programme organises a range of Christmas events for children from throughout the region but this year it is facing a big funding shortfall.
JSP co-ordinator Hellen Swales said although retailing has bounced back since the lockdown, money is still tight, and the group needs to raise $30,000.
Swales is aware many families are struggling, and said it would be a shame if the free public events organised by the JSP did not happen.
The Petone Twilight Christmas Parade is scheduled for Friday, November 27, starting at 7pm.
