Businesses of Christchurch: Help us spread the Magic of Christmas for Save the Children! 

Last year a small Christchurch-based IT Consultancy Pro2col were in the top 15 corporate fundraisers for Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day. Spurred on by their efforts, this year Pro2col are aiming to make Christmas Jumper Day a Christchurch-wide community event. This is an open invitation to business owners of Christchurch large and small, to unite and raise money for Save the Children on this year’s Christmas Jumper Day – Thursday 7th December 2023.

“Christmas Jumper Day has previously been about wearing a jumper and putting a donation in a pot,” said Pro2col Founder and Managing Director James Lewis. “That’s great for big businesses with lots of staff. But we wanted to create an opportunity for smaller businesses, sole proprietors, and franchises to join together in a community event for this important cause.”

On the day itself, Pro2col will be returning to Saxon Square from 11am till 1pm with sweet treats and collection tins, singing carols and invite all to join us for a community photo at 12.30pm.

To get involved with the festivities or add a collection tin to your customer reception area, contact Michelle on [email protected] or simply don your festive gear, join the event on Facebook (https://fb.me/e/1vupw6wyS) and don’t forget to drop your pound in our community virtual collection pot – https://christmas.savethechildren.org.uk/fundraising/CJD230017447.
