Why does Christmas Jumper Day take place every year?
Christmas Jumper Day is an event organised by children’s rights charity Save The Children. It first took place in 2012 and has been running every year since.
Adults taking place are asked to donate a minimum of £2 to the charity, while schools, nurseries and youth groups ask for a donation of £1 from participants.
How do I donate to Save The Children?
Often workplaces will send a collection around the office to make it easier for you to donate or create a fundraising page, but if you’re a freelancer, a company owner, or simply want to donate independently, you can call the Save the Children Supporter Care team on 020 7012 6400 or create your own fundraising page online for the event.
More recently, the charity has offered support to children suffering in Lebanon after the Beirut explosion as well as those in Yemen as the war continues.

Will it still run despite Coronavirus?
Christmas Jumper Day is still set to run despite the pandemic. Whether you’ll be going into the office on December 11th or working from home, WN is encouraging everyone to take part and to upload their festive knits to Instagram.
