How to take part and donate on Christmas Jumper Day 2022
You can wear a Christmas jumper to school, work, or wherever you’re attending on December 8.
Save the Children used to work with retailers to design new Christmas jumpers that would be sold. They have chosen not to do it this year. The charity is encouraging the reuse of previous years’ jumpers instead.
All you have to do is sign up on the Save the Children website. Once you’re on the website, you will be prompted to create a username and password.
Alternatively, you can show your support by setting up a JustGiving fundraising page online and raising money. With the charity’s focus on sustainability, no paper fundraising packs will be sent out this year.
