Santa Blake raises thousands of pounds for charity by attending dozens of events across Yorkshire.
A former US airman has told how his resemblance to Santa Claus has raised much-needed funds to help the families of sick children in Yorkshire.
Instead, families can make a donation, should they choose, to the Yorkshire Children's Trust charity. Mr Meyer, of Otley, West Yorkshire, said: "It's nice to be able to give something back to Yorkshire families."Santa Blake has born while on a pub crawl round YorkIn 2016, he joined friends for a Christmas jumper pub crawl around York."One little girl actually got up out of her seat, ran up to me and hugged me. I then realised they actually thought I was Santa."
"I didn't want to profit from it so I began researching charities," he said. "That's when I came across Yorkshire Children's Trust.""Over the years I've been to schools, churches, hospices, all kind of places," said Mr Meyer.
