The PLA is proud to have partnered with Evelina London Children's Charity to ensure that the children in their care experience a magical Christmas.
A festively decorated PLA launch boat carrying Santa travelled down the Thames from Tower Bridge to Waterloo Pier, where he was greeted by twenty-five children ready to board a Thames Clipper for an hour-long tour of the river.
Once aboard the Thames Clipper, each child received an early Christmas present. Thanks to the generous support of DP World, Uber Boats by Thames Clipper and Tideway London, we were able to gift over sixty presents.
These gifts were distributed among the children on board, their siblings, and some for the children at the hospital who were unable to join the festivities.
We are grateful to be part of this collaboration and are looking forward to continuing our support for Evelina London Children's Charity in the future.
