Ben urges industry to back Christmas Jumper Day
Automotive industry charity Ben is inviting the sector to get involved in Christmas Jumper Day this December, which will take place on 13 December – or any day in the month.
To take part, participants sign up, share the date with colleagues and friends and then wear a Christmas jumper on the day, earning donations of £3 per person.
Meanwhile, this year Ben is also celebrating 35 years of Christmas cards designed by renowned motoring artist, Richard Wheatland, and is marking this special milestone by selling Richard’s first three card designs from 1989, 1990 and 1991.
Matt Wigginton, director of partnerships, engagement and income, said: “We hope our whole automotive family will get involved in Ben’s festivities this year. Christmas Jumper Day is such an easy one to get involved in and will help your company get into the festive spirit. You can now also buy your Ben Christmas cards with a new and very special design by Richard Wheatland for 2024.
“We are still seeing record numbers of people turning to Ben in desperation because they can’t afford the basics. It’s still really tough out there and many people in our automotive family urgently need us. Together, we can make a life-changing, often life-saving, difference to the lives of our automotive family so please get involved today.”
