'PULL your festive knitwear from the back of your wardrobe and support St Rocco's' is the message from staff at the Bewsey hospice ahead of Christmas Jumper Day.

The charity is calling on workplaces, schools, colleges and groups to show off their sweaters on December 18 in return for a donation to help the hospice care for patients and families over Christmas and New Year.

Sophie Birch, fundraiser at St Rocco’s, said: “Our Christmas Jumper Day is a great opportunity to have a bit of fun while helping the hospice.

"We’ll be out and about taking photos and are really looking forward to seeing some bright, funky and festive outfits.”
