Intellectually Handicapped Children's Xmas

Father Christmas arrived in an unconventional fire engine for the annual Christmas party at the occupation centre of the Nelson Intellectually Handicapped Children's Association. But he was soon hard at it doing the things that Santa Claus does - distributing presents. Above, Jacquelin Barnett receives her present, as does Susan Lancaster (above right). Watching Father Christmas getting on with the job (right) are supervisors Nan Hildyard and Margaret Beveridge with Peter Quinh, while Val Wilkens presents the "Good Fairy" to Father Christmas (bottom right).
