Save the Date: Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day

Thursday December 8 2022

Published:

Please make a note in your diaries - this year Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day will be on Thursday December 8 2022.

We encourage everyone to wear a festive jumper and donate to Save the Children. No need to buy a new jumper or to wear a specifically Christmas-themed jumper. Get creative - any old jumper can become festive when decorated with tinsel, baubles, stickers, felt… Let your imagination run wild! Information on how to donate can be found below.

The Centres for Genomics and Child Health, and Neuroscience, Surgery and Trauma have arranged a bake sale outside the Perrin LT from 11am – 3pm with sweet and savoury baked goods for sale to raise money. Everyone across the Institute is welcome to contribute:

Do you enjoy baking? Please bake something for charity and bring it in on December 8. You can bring your baked goods direct to the Perrin foyer or drop them off in either the Genomics and Child Health admin bay or Neuroscience, Surgery and Trauma admin bay earlier that day.

Do you enjoy eating? Please pop by and buy some treats for a good cause!
