Businesses and NHS staff raised a whopping £3,031 for hospitals in the region this Christmas by joining the National Elf Service.
The event encourages people to dress as an elf for the day to raise funds.
Organised by York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity, other activities included a dress up day, work cake stalls and quiz nights.
Community fundraiser Maya Liversidge said: “It’s been brilliant to see people get involved and have some fun whilst making a difference to their local hospital services.
“A huge thank you to everyone who took part – we know things remain difficult for many people and every penny goes towards enhancing patient care and staff wellbeing across our hospitals.
“We have some great fundraising events coming up this year for anyone who likes a challenge and loads of ideas for how you can support your local hospitals. Otherwise we will look forward to welcoming this year’s elves once again in December!”
