By Bennita Adair George, Marchants Estate Agents

At Marchants, we are thrilled to once again be bringing the elves back to Hassocks High Street this December! Raising money for St Peter and St James Hospice is the main aim, but the event does so much more than just fundraise. It adds a sense of Christmas joy to the school walks home, evening dog walks or even daily commute.

Our local stores here in Hassocks have served the community with smiles and open doors for many years, especially in the hard times, and it is great to unite and welcome a bit of lighthearted fun!

Each elf will be hiding in the shop windows, just follow the elf trail and donate your £1 at the final point to be entered into the prize raffle! Elf trail maps can be collected outside Marchants Estate Agents from 1st December.

Hassocks estate agent Marchants will once again be organising a fun Christmas competition to raise festive spirits and also funds for charity.

For the second year running a number of shopkeepers have placed a Christmas Elf within their window display and participants will have to spot them and write down its name on the special form – available to collect from Marchants on the High Street or downloadable from: www.marchantsestateagents.co.uk

Marchants’ Bennita Adair George explained: “We started the event last year as we thought it would be a fun idea to join the community of Hassocks together while doing some fundraising at the same time. We chose St Peter & St James Hospice as our charity partner as, having experienced its wonderful services, we realise how precious this organisation is to our community and want to support its future in helping others at their time of need.”

Completed entry forms for Find Elf on the Shelf need to be handed in at Marchants by 17th December 2019 along with a £1 charity donation. There will be a random prize draw from completed forms after this date.
