THERE will be some elfish activity at a care home in Faringdon as staff and residents will be donning elf costumes all in the name of charity.

Lucky staff will then sit in the stocks and get pelted with wet sponges to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society.

Home manager at Anchor's Ferendune Court Alison Grimshaw and deputy manager Lorraine Carter will be first in the firing line.

Ms Grimshaw said: “I know I’ll be soaked through but it will be a lot of fun.

“The Alzheimer’s Society is close to our heart as we look after many people living with dementia.”

Elf Day will be celebrated at Anchor's Ferendune Court care home on Friday 6 December.
