Festive knits, big hearts and a little Christmas magic!
Get your Christmas jumpers ready and help Greenfingers Charity bring the joy of gardens to children and families spending time in hospices.
This December, we’re celebrating festive fundraising with two Christmas jumper campaigns running side by side. Whether you’re a garden centre, a business or an individual supporter, there’s a way to join the fun!
24 days of jumpers with Ricky, Eve and Scott
From 1st –24th December, British Garden Centres Ricky Tower, Eve Kerrigan and Scott McCabe will be wearing Christmas jumpers every day to raise funds and smiles for Greenfingers.
Businesses can sponsor a day, with three sponsorship opportunities available each day at a minimum donation of £100 each.
And the festive fun can go further! Ricky, Eve and Scott will encourage each day’s sponsors to hold their own Christmas Jumper Day on their chosen date, bringing colleagues together to raise even more through donations, cakes or other seasonal activities.
Choose your day, gather your team and give those festive knits an outing!
Calling 24 garden centres!
Alongside Ricky. Eve and Scott’s daily challenge, we’re inviting 24 garden centres to host their own Christmas Jumper Day on a December date that suits them.
Encourage staff to wear their favourite festive jumpers, invite customers to get involved and add a little extra sparkle with a cake sale, raffle or best jumper competition.
We’re asking each centre to aim for £500: a £100 donation to secure its date, followed by £400 raised through its activities. Together, 24 centres could raise a wonderful £12,000.
There’s also the chance to celebrate your team’s creativity through Garden Trade News’ Greatest Festive Fundraiser Award
Your festive fun can make a lasting difference
Funds raised will help Greenfingers create and maintain magical, therapeutic gardens at children’s hospices across the UK.
These gardens give children with life-limiting conditions, their families and carers places to play, relax and enjoy precious moments together outdoors.
To sponsor a day in Ricky, Eve and Scott’s challenge or register your garden centre’s Christmas Jumper Day, contact Kirsty at fundraising@greenfingerscharity.org.uk.
