Firefighters from Presteigne Fire Station have brought a festive touch to the community while supporting those in need during their second annual ‘Santa Drive’.

Travelling through the town and surrounding villages in a fire engine, with one crew member dressed as Father Christmas, the team collected donations for the Knighton and Presteigne Food Bank, which were generously provided by local residents.

The food bank is community-based project that supports individuals and families facing hunger or crisis across Knighton, Presteigne, and East Radnor. It also operates an outreach service in Presteigne to ensure assistance reaches those who need it most.

Knighton and Presteigne Food Bank Manager, Helen, said: “The crew from Presteigne Fire Station has been incredible and we are so grateful for their support. I’ve received messages from several families, including pictures of their children having fun meeting Santa.”

The crew have thanked everyone who supported and contributed to the drive.
