Each year on Christmas Eve, the Emergency Services help Santa to visit the children on Stanley on the central location of Victory Green or in the Town Hall. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Fire Service help Santa buy lending him some elves and helping to decorate his grotto. We also use the Fire BV to give him a tour of Stanley before he reaches the Grotto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each child that visits Santa is given a free goody bag, sponsored by the emergency services and the Falkland Islands Company. There is also a bouncy castle that is provided each year free of charge by NB Solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
