We need new elves!
Could you spare a few hours over a couple of evenings in December? Help Father Christmas on his evening rounds in Bodmin, as a collector or a driver. You don’t need to be a Lion, and we’ll show you what to do.
Email us to find out more, message us on Facebook, or speak to any Lion.
