CHILDREN can send a letter to Santa this Christmas.

Insurance broker Howden Wilmslow has officially opened its North Pole Mail Service.

Families can visit the local branch, on Alderley Road, and collect a specially designed postcard to send off to Saint Nick with their Christmas wishes.

Danny Brown, branch manager at Howden Wilmslow, said: “We’re making it easier than ever for your little ones to share their wishes with Santa, so that he knows exactly what they’re hoping for this year.

“And to make the experience even more magical, they can also get a personalised response back from Father Christmas himself!

“Our aim is to not just help children connect with Santa, but also help parents create those magical moments that make Christmas so special.

“We know how busy the festive season can get, so our Santa letter service is designed to take some of the pressure off, giving families a chance to focus on making cherished memories together.”

To get involved, simply pop into your local Howden branch to pick up a free postcard.

Get your child to write their letter to Santa and post it in the ‘North Pole Mailbox’ in branch. 

Then, visit the Howden website to get your downloadable template letter from Santa, which you can print off at home, put in an envelope and post through your letterbox.

Just add in your child’s name and in the second paragraph, add the present they included in their letter to Santa.

In addition to Letters to Santa, Howden is also running a competition to trim back the cost of Christmas this year.

They are offering a £250 pre-loaded Mastercard to 20 lucky winners, equivalent to the difference in Christmas costs from five years ago.

What’s more, the branch team is also running a series of festive events, designed to be a welcome bit of festive fun, goodwill, and help spread Christmas cheer this year.
