SANTA Claus is coming to the aid of a cancer care charity at one of its North-East offices.
He has pledged to respond to all letters sent by children which are backed with a small donation for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
In return, Santa will send each young correspondent a small gift.
Kelly Taylor, Marie Curie community fundraising co-ordinator, said: "All the money raised by Santa's letters will be used to support the work of Marie Curie nurses throughout the area."
To receive a personalised letter and gift from Santa, donations of £2 should be sent by cheque or postal order to Santa's Helpers, at Marie Curie Cancer Care, 4 High Chare, Chester-le-Street, County Durham, DH3 3PX.
Each letter should also include the child's home address.
Further information is available from Kelly, on 0191-382 3311.
