FUNDRAISERS have announced record levels of cash collected this Christmas with the help of Santa in Chinnor.

Volunteers for the Village Centre, High Street, Chinnor, spent several nights on a grotto-style trailer, pulled by a tractor, to raise more than £1,800.

David Deval, centre manager, said: "It was a great success this year and we would like to thank all those who contributed."

Most of the cash will go towards caring for the elderly.
