Santa is going to be kept nice and warm during his visits around Tynedale district, thanks to a community effort.

Joao Correia, from Bunter's Café in Hexham, and regulars Sheila and Linda, decided to knit him a large blanket.

The project was supported by The Queen’s Hall Knitting Group, Trinity Methodist Church, Hexham Abbey Mothers' Union, and Gateway into The Community.

Julia, a Tynedale Lion member, presented Sheila with a certificate of appreciation for the blanket's creation.
