The Budding Foundation runs a hugely-popular grotto in Hassocks to raise money for its support of young people across the county, especially those who have suffered social deprivation, trauma or disability.
“We are looking for more community-minded people to assist us”, says charity founder Clive Gravett. “Our team of existing elves ranges from 18 to 80 years-old, but we are also happy to support young people (aged 16+) to help provide rewarding work experience in line with our charity's aims.”
