FOSTER families and the children they look after enjoyed a festive day out in North Yorkshire on board a heritage railway’s Santa Special steam train.
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway’s Santa Special set off from Grosmont and the time on board gave local foster families an opportunity to socialise and share experiences, as well as having a fun time out in the run-up to Christmas.
Every child got a special present after visiting Santa in his train carriage grotto.
The Santa Special tickets were funded by a generous donation from Proudfoots Supermarkets of Scarborough. Fostering North Yorkshire, which is part of North Yorkshire County Council, looks after more than 300 children and young people at any one time, in fostering placements across the county.
