Elliot's Touch celebrated the start of the festive season with the annual switching on of their lights in Whitehall, Watchet. The event included Christmas carols played by the West Somerset Brass Band and a number of stalls selling refreshments and Christmas gifts, and a tombola. Father Christmas came along to say hello to the children before Elliot's lights were switched on.

The Elliot's Touch display is part of a wonderful festive display of homes and businesses around Watchet town centre. The lights will be running until 2 Jan 2025 and anyone wishing to make an online donation to the charity can do so here. 

"We were so thrilled to have so many people turning up to join in this special event," said Donna Stevens, co founder of Elliot's Touch. "We collect money throughout the month and people can donate via our collection box or online. We are looking forward to announcing the total amount raised by our lights in the New Year."
