CHRISTMAS is coming and Farnham Lions know of a surprising number of people in the Haslemere area who will have trouble keeping warm this winter.

The eighth Project Wenceslas was officially launched by Haslemere Mayor John Robini at the town hall.

The Lions are inviting those who receive the winter fuel allowance and feel they don’t need it, to donate all or part of it to help families who are seriously struggling.

Details of the project are in the flyer circulated with this edition of the Haslemere Herald. Donors can donate via www.justgiving.com/lions-wenceslas
