FESTIVE jumpers at a Hamworthy care home raised money to help make the world a better place.

On December 14, residents and staff wore jumpers in aid of Save the Children’s annual fundraising event, Christmas Jumper Day.

All residents and staff at Upton Bay were encouraged to buy, borrow or decorate their own special Christmas jumpers and donate to Save the Children.

Some residents got creative and decorated their own glitzy knitwear, with one even decorating their wheelchair with tinsel.

In total, the home managed to raise £50 towards the cause.

Mevin Sohorye, general manager, said: “Today has been a whole lot of fun with some of the most outlandish Christmas jumpers I have ever seen.

“This event has really showcased the creativity and fun-loving spirit of all our residents and staff. We are proud to take part in Christmas Jumper Day and show our support for Save the Children.”
