Yesterday was Christmas Jumper Day, where millions of people across the UK took part in the annual event. You may have decided to wear your jumper today too! Established by Save the Children charity, not only is this occasion fun for all, but it also has a true meaning behind it, which the team at BS Fixings support and encourage!
Save the Children charity raises awareness and money for children that are struggling across the world, whether it be related to educational resources, food, or medicine. Since 1919, this organisation has helped children in need, especially those who might not have the best quality of life. Over these years, the charity has helped 45 million children worldwide, to change the way they live for the better.
Christmas Jumper Day is only one of the events that they hold, to encourage people to donate towards a child’s future. Every year the BS Fixings team part take in the day, to have some festive fun at work, but to raise money for the children!
