Overgate Hospice’s much-loved Christmas Jumper Day is back!

This much-loved tradition not only spreads the excitement in the run-up to Christmas but also plays a vital role in supporting the compassionate care the hospice provides to patients and their families.

Whether taking part at work, in school, or from home, every merry knit worn and every pound raised helps ensure that patients and their loved ones continue to receive the specialist, dignified, and deeply personal care they deserve. This care is made possible thanks to the generosity and kindness of the Calderdale community.

Chelsea, Community Fundraiser at Overgate, expressed her excitement for the event:

“We know Calderdale has a big heart and an even bigger collection of novelty knits. Christmas Jumper Day is about bringing people together, festive jumpers, and doing something small that makes a big difference.”

For those still searching for the perfect knit, Overgate is encouraging supporters to pick up a pre-loved Christmas jumper from one of its 17 charity shops across Calderdale. Choosing a pre-loved jumper is a wonderful way to find something unique, support sustainability, and directly contribute to the essential care provided at the heart of the community.

Supporters could also pair their jumper-wearing with additional festive fundraising, from Christmas fayres and open mornings to bake sales, raffles, craft stalls, the opportunities are endless.

With the day open to everyone, everywhere, Overgate Hospice is anticipating its most meaningful Christmas Jumper Day yet.
