The ‘Most Jumperful Time of the Year’ raises over £7,000

The Most Jumperful Time of the Year– where two individuals don festive jumpers for the whole of December- has now come to an end with this year’s wearers raising more than £7,000 for the Greenfingers Charity in 2023.

Linda Petrons, Greenfingers’ fundraising and communications director, and Tammy Woodhouse from Millbrook Garden Centres, ‘enjoyed’ 25 jumpers a piece.

Spreading the festive cheer 24/7 by wearing them to all business meetings, fundraising events and even at home, there was no escaping the holiday spirit for the pair or those around them, who managed to raise over £7,000.

Petrons comments on the fundraising saying: “’The Most Jumperful Time’ is a really fun way to raise funds for Greenfingers, though some days it can be somewhat itchy!

“The biggest thank you goes out to those who donated and kindly sponsored daily jumpers. Your generosity and added support each day by wearing your own jumpers has made an enormous difference in helping to make this annual activity a real highlight in our fundraising calendar.”

Since 2020 when ‘The Most Jumperful’ was launched by Natalie Porter, the event has raised over £20k for the Greenfingers Charity.

And despite 2024’s event being on the distant horizon, the mantle has been passed to Chris Moncrieff, RHS head of information and advice, and Kimberley Hornby, owner of the garden PR agency Horny George PR company, who will don the festive jumpers all month round.
