Provided by the community's Kind Elves and arranged by Cleckheaton’s Christmas Elves, the group would once again like to provide hampers to help struggling families whose budgets are generally overstretched and under pressure at Christmas-time.
The elves aim to provide families with Christmas hampers, tailored to age groups and family size.

A spokesperson said: “We had a fantastic day on our sponsored walk.
“The Little Elves raised £250
“They took part in lots of activities, such as catching the elf, throwing the bean bag, ring toss and guessing the favourite Christmas decoration.
“They then walked from Jo Cox Wood to Green Explorers at Whitechapel Primary School where they enjoyed hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows.

“The last part of the walk saw them return from the school back to Jo Cox Wood where they received a certificate and goodies.”
