Households’ big Christmas lights switch-on for charity

Two households in Ruskington have staged their annual switch-on ceremony for their Christmas lights in aid of four charities.

The big switch-on with Santa at 89-91 Elmtree Road in the village 6pm sees neighbours Jacky Cooper, Val and Mick Midgley festoon their homes and gardens with festive illuminations, to the delight of local families and passers-by.

The trio always invite donations from anyone visiting to view the lights and this year will dedicate funds to the Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance, Lincolnshire Emergency Blood Bikers, Authorpe hedgehog care and Ruskington’s own Hollies Animal Rescue Trust.

They were joined by air ambulance volunteer fundraisers Ann Baker and Jane Sutherland who thanked them for their years of donations.

The lights will remain on each evening until early in the New Year.
