How can I take part? 

Taking part is easy! Whether you dress up as an elf to collect sponsors and donations, run desk games, host bake sales or take on festive challenges, we have plenty of ideas for you to join in the fun. 

You can host your event whenever and wherever you like – at work or anywhere in your local community. If you can’t make the date, don’t worry! You can choose any date that suits you over the festive period.

How can I boost my fundraising? 

When you sign up to Elf Day, you’ll receive an email with your free digital fundraising pack, full of tips, ideas and resources with everything you need to host your Elf Day! We've gone green for Elf Day and are only offering digital fundraising guides to help reduce our impact on the environment and reach our sustainability targets. You can learn more about our commitment here.

Don’t forget to see if your workplace offers matched giving. It’s a great way to double the funds you raise and make an even bigger difference this year.

What difference will I make? 

This year, we have an ambitious goal to raise £100,000 for Elf Day. We know it will take a society to beat dementia, and families need your support. Every pound counts, £100 could help fund a Community Dementia Adviser provide face-to-face support for families. Whether they're supporting someone living with dementia, a carer, or an entire family, this support is invaluable when it comes to navigating the maze of dementia. 

Will you organise an Elf Day today and help a family reimagine Christmas?
