🎄 It’s Christmas Jumper Day 🎄
This is the UK’s official date for Christmas Jumper Day, one of Save the Children’s biggest annual fundraising events

What it’s all about?
• Schools, workplaces, community and friend groups are invited to wear fun or festive jumpers and raise money for Save the Children.
• The event has been running since 2012 and over that time has helped raise more than £40 million.

What your support helps achieve:
Funds raised help children in the UK and around the world to stay safe, healthy and learning — even in difficult circumstances.
In 2024, the event raised approximately £2.8 million, funding items such as drought resistant seeds, supermarket vouchers for children in the UK, and baby kits for families in Gaza.

💙 Check in on Friends, Family & Neighbours 💙
The winter months can be isolating, especially for the elderly and socially isolated. A quick call or visit can make a big difference to someone feeling lonely.

• Ask if they’re keeping warm and have enough food.
• Help with essential errands if you can.
• Encourage them to contact their GP if they feel unwell.

Small acts of kindness go a long way this festive season.
