A search has begun for entertainers, face painters and people looking to lend a helping hand this Christmas.

Disability Inclusion Project Officer, Olivia Worsfold, is looking for volunteers to help out at a party for hundreds of disabled youngsters and their families.

Olivia runs a project called The Epping Forest Inclusion Project.

The party will include games, decoration making, Christmas films and even a visit from Father Christmas himself.

Epping Forest District Council officer Olivia is now looking for prizes to be donated to the raffle and party games.

All proceeds will go to the Chairman’s Charities for this year, St Clare Hospice and the Alzheimer’s Society.

Any donors should contact Olivia on 01992 564220 or via email at oworsfold@eppingforestdc.gov.uk.
