Our volunteers work exceptionally hard to make sure that St Ives in December is a great occasion, but we receive no funding from St Ives Town Council or Cornwall Council and rely solely on private donations.

At the beginning of December 2024, it looked likely that Santa’s arrival by lifeboat would be the last event due to lack of funding and support. We’re fortunate that we’ve found additional people and a renewed enthusiasm to make the event happen, but we cannot continue without support and funding.

If you enjoy our events, we need your help.

Your generous donations ensure that St Ives in December remains a magical experience for everyone. Help us continue to offer free, joyful events for the community by making a contribution today. All money raised goes directly to funding events for our local community, and safeguarding St Ives in December for future years.
