Santas little helpers arrived at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon in a secret elf packing location disclosed only hours before the task.
We were welcomed into a large room full of children's toys. Mother Christmas explained how the charity had purchased thousands of children's gift to send to over 90 wards in hospitals ready for Christmas!
Our roles varied from helping to pack the gifts, rip up cardboard, weigh parcels and sort parcels into numerical order ready for their postage labels. We also got to play jenga with cardboard and a nearby car.
We finished all our tasks in record time and wished all the charity team a very Happy Christmas.

Making Christmas Special For Young People In Mental Health Units
Christmas For CAMHS is a registered charity who provides special Christmas gifts every year for children and young people who are inpatients in child and adolescent mental health (CAMHS) wards across the UK over the Christmas holiday period. We want to make children and young people who are inpatients over the festive season feel thought-about, special and included - our individual gifts for each young person to keep, as well as gifts for their ward, help us to do this.
