SANTA and his elves are already working overtime at intu Uxbridge - and all for a good cause as the shopping centre is donating every penny of the grotto’s profits to Halo Children’s Foundation.

Until Christmas Eve, Santa is expected to give away 1,500 gifts to young visitors, with all proceeds going to intu’s nominated charity, which supports children and their families after the loss of a loved one.

Alia Jones, chief executive of Halo, said: “We have been blown away by the support from everyone at intu Uxbridge this year.

“The money will make such a huge difference to children and their families at the hardest of times.”
