Donate a real-life Santa Claus. Ho-Ho-Ho
Dunster, Somerset
Months of planning came together for one of Dunster First School’s biggest fundraising events of the year, which generated £3,500 for new ICT equipment.
The evening was a great success and was enjoyed by all of those who attended and the money generated that evening was the largest on record.
As in previous years, Somerset Gas helped Dunster First School achieve their fantastic result by donating a Christmas Hamper but more importantly, this year, by donating a real-life Santa Claus. One of Somerset Gas’s Company Directors put on the full suit and boots and spent the evening handing out presents and making note of the many requests for Christmas Day gifts.
We want to take the opportunity to congratulate Dunster First School on a fantastic evening and a very well deserved total raised.
We look forward to seeing you all next year.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all from Somerset Gas.

Leading the way with the Living Wage
Taunton, Somerset
The Living Wage Campaign was launched by the charity London Citizens in 2001. In the ten years since its launch, the campaign has become a powerful force for change in London and across the rest of the country.
Initially dismissed as idealistic and impossible, it is now recognised as a compelling cause, which offers benefits to workers, employers and to the wider society.
Between them, the employers in London who commit to paying a Living Wage have lifted more than 10,000 families out of working poverty and right across the UK, employers are signing up to the Living Wage – in Scotland, Wales, Oxford, Norwich, Preston, Milton Keynes, Leeds, Brighton, Newcastle and now… Somerset.
Somerset Gas joins the likes of other organisations, such as HSBC, Barclays, Lush, Scottish Enterprise, Tate Modern, RBS, London Fire Brigade and more.
Somerset Gas is the first organisation in Somerset to join the Living Wage Foundation.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to help to ensure that our staff can live free from poverty and demonstrates, clearly how Somerset Gas rewards all of our employees fairly for the hard work that they do”. – Joe Lewis, Business Manager
Welcome to the world, Somerset Gas... shh!
