Hide AdMarie-Louise Robinson, Community Fundraiser at Hull and East Yorkshire Mind said: “Mental Elf will be a fantastic festive fun event, open for people of all ages and abilities:
runners, walkers, families, teams, wheelchairs, and pushchairs.
“It’s a wonderful way to get together with family and friends and improve your feelings of wellbeing.
“Elf costumes are preferred but not essential, although we hope to see lots of you dressed up. It’s the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit, all whilst raising money for local
people who are struggling with their mental health”
