Car dealership team use Christmas jumpers to fundraise for local hospice

Staff at a car dealership in Wrexham have been raising money for a local charity with the help of their Christmas jumpers.

Several members of the Arthurs Peugeot dealership team arrived at work on Christmas Jumper Day earlier this month wearing Christmas jumpers, Christmas earrings and Christmas Grinch socks.

The team embraced the festivities and raised funds for Nightingale House at the same time.

“Many of us entered into the spirit of the occasion,” said Dealer Principal Philip Corfield who wore his Christmas jumper.

“At the same time, it was an opportunity to raise money for a really worthwhile cause which we all support.”

Debbie Barton, corporate partnerships manager at Nightingale House, thanked Arthurs Peugeot Wrexham for getting involved with Jolly Jumpers.

She said: “There are so many ways to raise funds and Jolly Jumpers is a fun and colourful opportunity to support the hospice at Christmas time, while getting into the festive spirit.

“Every penny counts when it comes to raising the money we need to help us care for local people and their families affected by life-threatening or life-limiting illness.

“Each year it costs over £3million to run the hospice of which we receive 20% in statutory funding so we rely heavily on our community to reach our target.”
