£1,130 raised for Children with Cancer UK from festive display

For the past 10 years a dedicated couple from Barrow have raised thousands for charity meticulously decorating their bungalow over the festive period with a spectacular Christmas lights show.

David and Sheila Fairweather this year raised a staggering £1,130.69 as not just local visitors but some travelling from afar flocked to their Mill Lane home to view the glittering lights and make a donation to charity,  the bungalow festooned with colourful Santas, snowmen and reindeer

Over the past 10 years the light show has grown and grown and now the putting up and taking down of the decoration is a major exercise with their electrician son checking out the final display.

This year David, 75, and Sheila, 73,  have presented their proceeds to Children with Cancer UK and choose a particular charity each year with previous recipients including Help for Heroes and the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

So while most have packed away their Christmas decorations for another year back into the loft the intrepid Barrow couple are still dismantling theirs back into storage in garage, shed and every available space that can house the giant structures.
