KIND-HEARTED church staff are to give a helping hand for people daunted by the annual festive prospect of wrestling with wrapping paper at a unique event.

This Saturday (December 12) at All Saints Church in Romford Road, Chigwell, members of the congregation will be on stand-by to help wrap and package any presents between 10am and 12 noon.

The event is free and all wrapping paper is provided by the church - with the added bonus of mince pies and drinks also being available.

Call 020 8500 0914 for more information.
