Update - Christmas 2024 - Enjoy a day with your local community and help raise money to support local charities!

Dear Fellow festive season lovers, residents of Whitmore Road, Harrow and beyond!

Following the great success of last year’s Festive Lights and the incredible amount of money raised for local charities (over £6,000), Whitmore Road is asking for your support once again.

We had a great response last year and the support from our community was incredible, raising funds for some local worthy causes. This year we will be raising funds for three local charities:

Northwick Park Hospital, Children's ward known as Jack's Place

The money is used to buy gifts for children at Christmas, and Birthdays or for just being Brave. And last year we supported their initiative to have small pets available to assist in their rehabilitation.

The Wish Centre

The wïsh centre is a Harrow-based charity that prevents self-harm, abuse and exploitation of young people aged 10-25 years.

St Luke's

St. Luke's is a charity providing specialist end of life and palliative care to people in Harrow and Brent.

On Sunday the 15th of December from 4pm to 6.30pm join us on your doorstep or take a stroll and enjoy the spectacle with your neighbours and the local community. There will be food, music and much fun to be had by all, come and take part!

A letter to Santa’s helpers has been dispatched and we are hoping for a visit from the bearded man in the big red suit at around on his way to the North Pole at around 6.30 pm.

A few residents will be setting up games and stalls on their driveways to raise funds and we will be arranging a raffle for some hampers. If you have any suitable items that you are happy to donate, please see below where to drop them. 

This. year the event is being kindly supported by Wilson Hawkins estate agents.

Seasons greetings to all and a safe and Happy New Year.
