Overall description:

Gather your elves together, dig out your Christmas jumpers and join us for some festive fundraising.

You can join in at home, in the office, on a Zoom call or as a virtual coffee morning; it’s just about getting everyone together, having fun and giving generously knowing you are making a difference to local families.

Getting involved is simple:

  1. Mark Friday 11th December on your calendar
  2. Encourage friends, family and colleagues to join in the fun
  3. Dig out your favourite festive jumper and wear it with pride

 

How your support helps:

We’re asking you to wear your Christmas jumpers in support of our Hospice at Home service – which will help people who are living with life-limiting illness to stay at home this Christmas.

At Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice, we love working Christmas day. We want to help families to stay at home over the festive season, so that they can continue their festive traditions together.

Our Hospice at Home support means that families who are coping with life-limiting illnesses can spend this special time of year focussing on what really matters – being together, opening gifts, sharing a Christmas dinner, pulling crackers and telling bad jokes.

With your sense of fun and generosity you can help more families to keep to the traditions they’re used to. So, let’s jazz up our jumpers, tack up the tinsel and raise vital funds in support of families experiencing their last Christmas with those they love.
