Members from Athene will be dressed as festive characters, blasting out music and giving away chocolates at 5.15pm by the Christmas tree in Cathedral Square.

YPCS helps to provide free, accessible counselling for young people in Peterborough.

A YPCS spokesperson said: “We are thrilled to be Athene Communications’ charity of the year 2019 and every penny that they raise will be used to support young people who have lost their way.

“YPCS provides desperately needed high quality one-to-one counselling and relies entirely on your donations. Thank you for your support!”
