BUDDING elves are needed to help spread Christmas cheer in Dumfries and Galloway this festive season.
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is looking for people to lend an elfing hand in their local charity shop.
A spokesperson said: “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 the Dumfries shop or visit the website. There will be hot drinks, snacks, and a festive welcome waiting for you.
