On Saturday, November 15, adopter families from Shropshire based children’s charity, Adoption Matters, embarked on a magical Polar Express journey from Froghall Station, along the Churnet Valley Railway in Staffordshire, all made possible through the generosity of John Pass Jewellers and Newcastle-under-Lyme School.
The jewellers partnered with the school, which is based in the Staffordshire area, to raise the funds for 64 complimentary tickets to be gifted to the children’s charity.
Families enjoyed what is described as a ‘festive polar extravaganza’ true to The Polar Express book and movie.
Making the event extra special, Adoption Matters families were allocated their very own carriage.
