Helpful types needing Her Majesty in party merchandise (2-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

do-gooders

'helpful types' is the definition.

'her majesty in party merchandise' is the wordplay.
'her majesty' becomes 'er' (Elizabeth Regina).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'merchandise' becomes 'goods' (I've seen this before).
'do'+'goods'='dogoods'
'er' inserted inside 'dogoods' is 'DO-GOODERS'.

'needing' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
