A father-of-one from Winkleigh, Devon, who created a Covid-safe Santa’s grotto for local children to enjoy last Christmas, has won a nationwide competition.
Paul Baker, 42, was nominated for the Specsavers UK Smile Maker award by long-term friend Tim Bain, for all the work he has done in the local community to help bring smiles to people’s faces during the pandemic.
Six years ago, Paul and his partner Claire joined a team of volunteers in Winkleigh in staging events and raising money for the area, as well as for local charity Chemo Hero, which is very close to their hearts.
