Happy Christmas Jumper Day!
🎉The big day is finally here! 🎉Thank you so much for joining us as we get silly for a seriously good cause.
Your jumper fun will make a lasting difference to the lives of kids around the world.
Whether that’s kids in the UK - like those who took part in our Summer of Play 🌳, kids from Syria - like Shehab* who we helped gain the confidence to get back to school 🏫, or kids from Ukraine - like Marko* who we helped with language lessons after he had to start again in a new country 📚.
So what are you waiting for? 🥳 Let’s get this Christmas Jumper Day Party started! 🥳
*Marko and Shehab’s names have been changed to keep them safe.

What is Christmas Jumper Day?
Christmas Jumper Day is one of Save the Children's biggest annual fundraising events. It's been going since 2012!
Every December we ask schools, workplaces, and community and friend groups to put on a Christmas jumper and donate whatever they can afford. And every year, millions of you join us in making the world better in a sweater.
By taking part this year you can help support kids and families who are having to deal with an increasingly volatile world. We'll use the money raised on Christmas Jumper Day to help children in the UK and all around the world stay safe, healthy and learning - and change their future for good.
Find out more about some of the children from Ukraine, Syria and the UK who your jumper fun could help.
