A recruitment agency are getting into the Christmas spirit by hosting their second Elf Day for charity.

Prime Appointments, based in Witham are joining thousands of other businesses across the UK to raise money for Alzheimer's Society on Friday, December 6.

The team will dress up as Santa's elves for the day and host a sweet and savoury bake-off judged by professional experts from Tiptree Patisserie and Milsom Hotels.

After a year of fundraising the company has raised £21,029 for the charity who aim to support those living with the incurable disease, including £6,000 at last years Elf Day.

Robyn Holmes, Managing Director said: "With our co-founder Margaret Locke having been diagnosed with Alzheimer's at just 51, this is a cause incredibly close to our hearts, which we are passionate about supporting.

"It's going to be a brilliant day with cakes, treats, games and plenty of festive cheer.

"Last year the buzz was electric and the pounds were rolling in.

"It's heartwarming to see how much of a difference the efforts of the local business community have made already."
