Two friends will be spending their day off on Monday spreading a little Christmas cheer.

Good Samaritans Sam Wilson and Marc Munier, from Brighton, are offering their services to anyone needing a bit of help.

This could range from doing some Christmas shopping, carrying out minor repairs around the house, free business advice or even quick drumming lessons.

The 31-year-olds came up with the idea yesterday and are hoping to get a lot of interest.

Sam, an area manager for a car hire company, and Marc a commercial manager, are hoping to be as busy as possible from about 9am up to 6pm.

The pair have set up a website where people can get in contact and book a job which can be found at adayofhelping@googlemail.com.

Alternatively people can call 07903 706746.

Each job must last no more than an hour.
