Most Jumperful day
With Christmas just around the corner, festive jumper fans are gearing up for the return of the ‘most jumperful time of the year,’ a much-loved annual FUNdraising event to support the Greenfingers Charity.
This year, stepping into the festive spotlight are Chris Moncrieff, Head of Information and Advice at The Royal Horticultural Society, and Kimberley Hornby George, owner of Hornby George PR and vice-chair of the Garden Media Guild. Following in the footsteps of Boyd Douglas-Davies, Abigail Stocker, Tammy Woodhouse, Linda Petrons, and the event’s creator, Natalie Boynton, Chris and Kimberley are set to continue this cheerful tradition and aim to build on the remarkable £23,000 the campaign has raised to date.
Speaking about the month of jumpers heading his way, Chris Moncrieff said: “The festive jumper challenge is a brilliant example of how the garden community can come together for a great cause. It’s not just about the fun jumpers but the important work that Greenfingers does to create life-changing spaces for children in hospices. I’m excited to be part of this festive effort and look forward to donning my finest jumpers this December!”
Kimberley Hornby George added: “This campaign is such a unique and fun way to raise awareness and funds for Greenfingers. We hope that our daily jumpers will not just bring a smile to many as we jingle, itch and twinkly light our way through the month, but we hope it will also be a way of reminding the charity’s supporters of the importance of the work Greenfingers undertakes.
“Chris and I can’t wait to get started, and we hope sponsors will join us to make this year even more successful!”
Get involved – sponsor a jumper day!
This year’s event urgently needs the support of sponsors to help hit the fundraising target. Sponsoring a jumper wearer day costs just £100 each per day, and sponsors will not only contribute to the charity but can also join in the fun by encouraging their teams to wear Christmas jumpers on their sponsored day. It’s a small contribution that makes a big difference.
Linda Petrons, Director of Fundraising & Communications at Greenfingers said: “We need the support of sponsors to make this event a success. At just £100 per day, it’s a fantastic opportunity for businesses to support a meaningful cause while having some festive fun. Let’s make every day in December a jumperful one!”
