A Watford charity held its annual Christmas party this week, with guest appearances from Father Christmas and the mayor of Watford.

Playskill, which was launched in 2006 to provide specialist care for children aged one to five with physical difficulties or delays, held the event yesterday.

Andrea Clarke, team leader and paediatric physiotherapist, said: "Dorothy Thornhill came and we had have a lovely grotto with Santa giving out presents to all the children."

The party was held in the Soul Survivor Warehouse, in Greycaine Road.
