STORE staff in Corringham town centre were elvishly clever today (Friday, 2 December) as they donned costumes and collected cash from customers for a great causes.

It has now become an annual event for shops in the town to back the fundraising appeal initiated by staff at the Betty's Bits n Bob's general store.

The money raised goes to Alzheimer's and dementia charities and by late afternoon almost £600 had been collected and the tally is expected to rise.
