what is christmas jumper day all about?
This special day within the festive month took place on Thursday the 7th of December this year and is an annual event run by Save the Children. Most importantly, the money raised by those taking part will go to and aid children worldwide to receive the support they need to have the future they rightly deserve. Last year, 24,000 workplaces took part in Christmas Jumper Day, proving the popularity of this annual occasion with workplaces just like us! In addition to this, over 2 million school children took part.

Your impact
Since 2012, over £35 million has been raised for children both in the UK and around the World! One story shared by Save the Children was of a girl named Viktoriya. She is one of many children impacted by the war in Ukraine. Subsequently, Save the Children joined forces with a team called ‘Your Way’; enabling Viktoriya and other children in a similar position to her to access support to talk through problems they may face in such difficult circumstances. As a result, your contribution gave Viktoriya the extra help she needed through a therapy dog named Parker. Importantly, Viktoriya expressed the relief and love she now feels through the new addition to her life.
“The way we play feels like love from Parker.”

The money that we’ve raised contributes to this cause’s success; proven through stories like Viktoriya’s. As a result, our team encourage you to participate in this amazing cause next year. Supporting those in need as far as the other side of the world!
