Living Lerwick transformed the former RSM UK offices into a winter wonderland, creating the perfect setting for Santa Claus to meet 400 excited bairns.

The grotto was a huge success, with eager bairns excited to share their Christmas wishes with Santa. Volunteers from the Lerwick Lifeboat Fundraising Crew played a vital role, helping Santa hand out 400 gifts over two weekends.

A fantastic donation of £3,500 was made to Lerwick RNLI by Living Lerwick Director and business owner, Edna Irvine.

Emma Miller, Living Lerwick’s Project Manager, expressed her delight at the grotto’s success:

“We were thrilled to be able to have the grotto in the old RSM building again and we know how much visiting the real Santa means to the bairns.

The support from the Lerwick Lifeboat ladies is incredible, and we’re so grateful for their help in raising this money for our local lifeboat – which, of course, delivers Santa to the parade every year!

We also want to thank RSM for providing the venue and Harry’s for their assistance in supplying the wonderful gifts that brought smiles to 400 children this Christmas.
