Fashionable Festive Fun for Save the Children

A glittering cast of famous faces has teamed up to support Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day.

The seasonal fundraiser returns on December 11 to turn second-hand festive fashion into life-changing impact for children. 

One of the many popular personalities getting involved is paralympian Ade Adepitan (pictured above).

“Christmas Day at my house is all about family,” said Ade.

 “I like it when all the aunts, uncles and kids come together and there’s lots of eating and drinking – it’s all about the good vibes. And if it snows outside, that’s a bonus.    

“I love decorating the tree with my son. We have a massive collection of baubles and tinsel, and we make a big moment of turning the lights on. That’s when it really starts to feel like Christmas.     

“I’m supporting Christmas Jumper Day because the work that Save the Children does is so important. Life is tough for many children who go without the love and support that is so vital in childhood, and we’re lucky to have a charity which is making sure children from across the world are safe and supported.”   

Christmas Jumper Day, which is returning for a fourteenth year, sees schools, workplaces and groups of friends and families adorn themselves in their wackiest woolies for the day, whilst raising money for Save the Children.

Since it launched in 2012, the festive fundraiser has raised over £40 million to help transform the lives of children both in the UK and around the world to stay safe, healthy and learning.  

Sign up your school, workplace or friend and family group to get your free fundraising pack. Then on the big day, grab your favourite second-hand jumper and donate what you can to Save the Children to help children in the UK and around the world stay safe, healthy and learning.
