Festive Fun Raises Funds for Charity

Elves, pixies and Mrs Claus all gathered together for some festive fun to help raise money for Save the Children as they took part in this year's Christmas Jumper Day.

Getting into the Christmas spirit, colleagues from Vitax and John Hall in Skelmersdale left behind their usual work attire to join the national initiative on Friday 10th December.

Over the course of the day the team raised £236 in a raffle, which was fund-matched by Vitax, bringing the total donation to £472.

Barbara Clarke, one of Santa's helpers this year, says: "Christmas Jumper Day is an initiative that is embraced by all the team and a great way of getting into the festive spirit.

"This year we saw an array of jazzy jumpers and costumes, with everyone either donating prizes or taking part in the raffle, which raised a fabulous amount for a fabulous charity."

Now in its tenth year, Christmas Jumper Day has raised over £27 million since its launch in 2012.
