A Santa Drive on the back of a milk float raised almost £800 for primary schools.
The Santa drive was organised by parents from Wanstead Church School and was supported by milkman Steve from Parker Dairies, Dennis Weeks at North London Loft Rooms and Terry Tew Sound and Light.
Organisers managed to raise £770 which will go to Wanstead Church School, Our Lady of Lourdes, Nightingale Primary School and Snaresbrook Primary School.

The event had to be postponed due to the recent snow and instead went ahead on Wednesday, December 21.
Organiser Amy Moore said: “It’s such a pleasure seeing so many smiles - the kids absolutely love it, and the adults even more so."
Neighbours enjoyed mulled wine and cheered as Father Christmas approached in the Parker Diaries Milk float with five lively elves.
Amy added: "Children, adults and even dogs flocked to the float to get a photo and high five.
"Many also took the opportunity to hand Santa a letter."
Parent Jo Worsfold added: “Another fab eve - thanks Santa and especially all his elves big and small.”
