Say hello to the Elf Service, the team from KentOnline that needs YOU to help spread some Christmas cheer.

Not content with helping Father Christmas to make toys in the North Pole and looking after his reindeer, they want to make the world a much kinder place.

They want to know from you if an act of kindness, no matter how big or how small, would make a real difference to someone this Christmas.

It could be as simple as needing a case of wine for a pensioners’ lunch, Christmas decorations for a women’s refuge or blankets for abandoned dogs.

The Elf Service will then do its best to make as many wishes come true as possible.

Editor Leo Whitlock said: “We want your help to make some Christmas wishes come true.

“Times are still tough out there and the smallest gesture can have the biggest effect.

“We want to do all we can to give everyone that warm, fuzzy feeling while making a real difference.

“Don’t be afraid to send us your ideas no matter how small or how ambitious and we’ll do our very best to help.”

Send your suggestions with your name, address and a daytime telephone number to yourelfservice@thekmgroup.co.uk.

You can also tweet the Elf Service at @yourelfservice or log on to their Facebook page.
