Harry the Health Elf has arrived to share messages aimed at keeping children across Lancashire and South Cumbria healthy and safe this winter.

You’ve already heard of the Elf on the Shelf, but this winter it’s all about Harry the Health Elf.

Schools across Lancashire and South Cumbria are being encouraged to join Harry’s healthy winter adventure, by downloading and sharing Harry’s Winter Healthy Advent Calendar.

Each day of the advent calendar will open to a video of Harry sharing a special message, aimed at reminding children across the region how to stay healthy over the festive period and beyond. These messages will range from eating well, keeping warm, how to stay safe and where to turn if they or their loved one falls ill.

Harry, Chief H’elf Advisor for the NHS said: “The festive period is an exciting time for children up and down the land. However, it’s really important that they stay safe and healthy and so it’s my job to share messages with children that help them to stay well and know where to turn if they or a loved one falls poorly.

“Schools across the region will shortly receive a letter from Father Christmas explaining how they can get involved and help share these messages.”

Information packs will be landing with schools in the region shortly.
