A SUCCESSFUL END TO THE YEAR

As we kick-start the New Year; we’ve added up the total raised by our teams from the 2017 Christmas Jumper Day. This year we raised an incredible £5370.70! This will be split evenly between our 20 nominated charities.

The event on the 15th December raised the festive sprits throughout the company as the Ainscough teams dug out their favourite green and red knitwear to look the part whilst helping some very serious causes.

Joanna Hughes, head of marketing said: “It’s been another hugely successful year for our jumper wearing teams, and it’s great that we can not only have a good time over the festive period, but also simultaneously give back to our local communities.

There were some brilliant jumpers this year, we had everything from reindeers in Stockport to Christmas puddings in Preston! There’s a constant stream of fundraising going on throughout the year, but it’s great when we can all lend a hand and pull together, especially when the money will be used so well.

Thank you again to everyone who got involved and helped make this such a positive experience.”
