We're taking part in Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday 7th December! Wherever you are - at home or school - get your silliest, most festive jumper on & donate to Save the Children.

Like every year, we'll be festively fundraising for Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday 7th December. We'll be enjoying a day of festive fun all whilst fundraising to positively change children's futures.

We will be collecting cash donations in class (£1 suggested donation), but all donations are gratefully received. Online donations are set as a minimum of £2, in return for you wearing your Christmas Jumpers.

DO YOU KNOW HOW JUMPERS CHANGE LIVES?

Christmas is amazing because you can stop being such a grown-up and see the world like kids do. Even boring things turn into awesome things: like when a smelly old curtain turns into the best donkey the school has ever seen. But the thing is, that magic is there all the time! You 've just gotta look harder, people! Simple medicine saves lives; food helps kids grow up strong and smart; and books help kids see a whole new world. So that £2 donation might look like just £2. But it could warm some tummies, save some lives, and change the future. That’s big.

Here's some amazing examples of what Save the Children can do:

£2 could pay for hand sanitiser to help fight coronavirus in one of Save the Children’s medical clinics

£6 could buy a face shield for a superhero health worker in Yemen

£10 could buy antibiotics to help five children beat malnutrition

£20 could buy a back-to-school kit for a child in Indonesia

£60 could buy toys and books to support children from struggling families in the UK

£100 could buy a first aid kit for a health worker in Somalia
