This week Eastleigh MP Mims Davies donned some tinsel and gave her support to the Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day campaign which is taking place TODAY! Now in its seventh year, Save the Children is expecting even more people across the UK to join the woolly revolution and help make the world better with a sweater.
Commenting today, local MP Mims Davies said:
“I’m delighted to support Christmas Jumper Day, it’s a fantastic cause that does so much good, raising money and awareness for children here in the UK and around the world. Millions of people up and down the UK – and across my Eastleigh constituency – will be pulling on a Christmas jumper for a great cause – to help create a brighter future for children, and it’s great to be a part of it.”
Since its launch in 2012 the fundraising event has raised over £17 million for the world’s most vulnerable children. Over 5 million people across the UK are set to take part this year with schools, homes and offices ditching their day-to-day dress donning their daftest, most wonderful woollies for the annual fundraiser. From knits festooned in jingling bells to jumpers covered in lights, Save the Children is hoping that 2018 will be the biggest, silliest Christmas Jumper Day ever.
