Time to dust off those Christmas jumpers lurking in the wardobe because...

It's the TPE Christmas Jumper Month!

We're encouraging colleagues from around the business to donate £5 to Action for Children and wear their favourite Christmas jumper as many times as they wish from the 2nd December up until Christmas Eve.

Please be as festive as you like whilst making sure the jumper is suitable for the workplace and the network. Name badges and PPE must also still be worn.

Action for Children help more than 387,000 children, young people and their families evey year, so lets help make the world better with a sweater.

If you think you have a jumper that's particularly eye-catching, please send a picture to harry.tedder@firstgroup.com to be entered into the best dressed competition by the 18th December.

FirstGroup's support of Action for Children is helping to fund a mental health practitioner to work directly with children and families in their service. So far, 320 hours of mental health intervention have occured and 232 staff members have been up-skilled to help families and children struggling with mental health problems, and we want to continue this success. The partnerhsip is also funding FRIENDS, an initiative for early intervention and prevention of childhood anxiety and depression. All of your generous donations will make a difference to communities and young people and their families across the UK.
