Volunteer Christmas Elves

Santa is looking for some enthusiastic, fun-loving volunteer Elves to help him in his workshop in Bon Accord Centre Aberdeen this Christmas.

Elves will meet and greet children and their families, check bookings, ensure gifts are ready to be handed out, introduce children to Santa, prepare and take photographs, sell Charlie House merchandise and photo packages, and ensure that the workshop is clean and tidy. There will always to a Chief Elf on hand to keep any mischievous elves in order!

Excellent support and relevant training is provided to all volunteers. Potential Elves will be invited to attend an Elf School session (around 90 minutes) where volunteers will receive information about the charity and the volunteer role as well as a health & safety briefing. A Charlie House Chief Elf will be on hand to provide support and guidance on every shift.


This is a busy and fun role where you will be helping to make special Christmas memories for local families.


You will also be helping to raise funds for Charlie House. The charity was founded in 2011 with the goal of improving quality of life for babies, children and young people in the North-east of Scotland who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and to provide support for their families.


A fantastic opportunity to help. All help (and Christmas Elves) make a real difference and are greatly appreciated.
