Letters: Call for Christmas Elves!

Dear Editor,

At the British Heart Foundation (BHF), we are calling for budding elves to spread Christmas cheer and lend an elfing hand in their local BHF shop.

We are looking for generous volunteers, or elves, to lend a hand  – whether that’s picking out Secret Santa gift ideas, to getting creative and decorating the shop, or simply being a friendly ear for customers during what can be a lonely time of the year. 

We welcome anyone who wants to help during this busy time. All you need is some festive spirit, a willingness to lend a hand, and maybe a Santa hat or two!

With no need to sign up to regular shifts, every hour will make a difference and raise money to fund lifesaving research, which will help keep families together for Christmases to come. So why not put your best elf forward and have a go at volunteering with the BHF?

To get involved, pop into your local shop or visit our website. There will be hot drinks, snacks, and a festive welcome waiting for you.

Yours sincerely, 

Jo Wright

Retail Volunteering Operations Manager at the British Heart Foundation

The elves will kick-off celebrations today at 1pm, where they’ll lead a fun and energetic ‘Elf n Fitness’ workout for local kids. It’s the perfect chance for children to get into festive fancy dress, or simply come along and join in the fun, for the 20-minute session in the plaza area between then playpark and TGI Fridays.  Continue reading It’s not Christmas until … Santa’s elves arrive at Fort Kinnaird!
