CELEBS LEND THEIR SUPPORT TO SAVE THE CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS JUMPER DAY MIDNIGHT EMBARGO
Get set for Christmas Jumper Day

The festive season is upon us – and so is Christmas Jumper Day!

Everything is a bit different in 2020, so it’s more important than ever to come together in celebration to spread the Christmas cheer whatever way you can.

As ever, Save the Children is encouraging everyone to come together on December 11 to don your best festive knit – the uglier and more garish the better, if you ask us – and do your bit for charity.

For the ninth year in a row, a Santa’s sleigh full of celebrities are proving they’re no Scrooge.

Peter Andre, best buds Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay, Ed Balls, Alex Scott, Nicola Adams, Holly Willoughby and more are getting involved.

???I???ve always been a fan of Christmas Jumper Day ??? you just can???t help but smile when you see people getting in to the festive spirit with a great Christmas jumper. It???s such a fun way to help children around the world and it???s so easy ??? just donate ??2 and you can really help change lives this Christmas???. Christmas Jumper Day is when the nation comes together and helps make the world better with a sweater. Whilst it may look a little different after a challenging year, Save the Children is hoping that flashing, festive knits will still be sweeping the nation on Friday 11th December, creating much-needed Christmas cheer and a chance to raise money for the world???s most vulnerable children in the UK and around the world. Since launching in 2012 over 20 million people have signed up to take part, raising an incredible ??25.1 million to help save children???s lives. This year people can fundraise in whatever way works best??? whether that???s a playground or office jumper challenge, a socially distanced Christmas party or a virtual quiz. Whether you???re at home, at school, or on top of Mount Everest, you can still get involved. Save the Children are also encouraging the nation to have the most sustainable Christmas Jumper Day ever ??? rather than buying a new jumper we are encouraging everyone to dig out an old jumper and get crafty or head to your local Save the Children charity shop (or online!) to buy a pre-loved festive knit. Everyone that takes part is asked to donate (??2 for adults and a suggested ??1 for kids) to Save the Children and help transform the lives of children around the world.

Covid-19 means more children are living in poverty and going hungry, so the organisation is calling on the public to help out by making, upcycling, borrowing or buying a second-hand jumper.

Everyone taking part is encouraged to donate £2 – or £1 for kids – to help Save the Children.

Boxer Nicola – currently seen testing her skills on the Strictly dancefloor – said: ‘I’ve always been a fan of Christmas Jumper Day – you just can’t help but smile when you see people getting into the festive spirit with a great Christmas jumper.

???My Christmas jumpers are always over the top, I love lights, tinsel and plenty of colour when it comes to my festive knit. The kids are such a big part of Christmas and I???m so lucky that I get to spend it with them. I hope everyone can get involved with Christmas Jumper Day this year and donate ??2 to Save the Children.???

TV pundit and retired footballer Alex Scott admitted she’ll be missing the glitz and glamour of the BBC Latin and ballroom this year, but Christas Jumper Day is a fitting replacement.

She added: ‘I’ll be missing all the glittery fun of Strictly this year so will be adding extra sparkle to my Christmas jumper instead – and taking part in all the festive fun on Friday 11th will be a good substitute!’
