We’re excited to announce that Christmas Jumper Day is layering up! Two of our partner charities at Clothes Aid – Macmillan Cancer Support and Make-A-Wish UK are the official charities for this year’s ITV Text Santa, with the money raised by the campaign being split equally between these charities and Save The Children UK.
Text Santa Christmas Jumper Day will take place on Friday 18 December – the same day as the ITV television show – join us then or choose any date that suits you! Taking part is easy. Just sign up to get your Text Santa Christmas Jumper Day kit at itv.com/textsanta. Then get together with your friends, work or school, ask everyone to wear a Christmas jumper and donate to Text Santa.
Here at Clothes Aid we understand how important it is to reuse or recycle clothes, and the clever folks at Love Your Clothes have come up with some fantastic ways to fill old jumpers with festive joy! Take a look at some of our favourite ‘How to’ videos below, and check out the Love Your Clothes Facebook page for more!
We’ve heard of offices where scrooge-like staff are donating double to not wear a Christmas jumper – bah humbug! But if Simon Cowell can get involved, there’s no reason that the most miserly of bosses can’t take part…
Don’t forget that the money you raise will help Macmillan Cancer Support, Make-A-Wish® UK and Save the Children, giving hope to families in difficulty at Christmas. And remember to tune into ITV on 18 December for the Text Santa Christmas Jumper Day show!
Thank you for doing your bit in a Christmas knit.
