Businesses across Tuckton teamed up to raise a fantastic sum of money for Save the Children’s #ChristmasJumperDay on Friday 13th December. We smashed our original target, raising over £1600 in total, making us the top fundraiser across Dorset, Cornwall, Devon and Somerset.
Tuckton High Street was a hub of activity, with fundraising activities throughout the day. Jasmina from Pro2col won the Pigs in Blankets – Mince Pie and Spoon race. Her time of 12.75 seconds was honoured despite allegations her mince pie was glued to her spoon. Pictures in the gallery!
Local boxing celebrity Kate Farley judged the Christmas window competition, awarding prizes to the most impressive displays:
- First place: Wilton’s Funeral Services
- Second place: Hairworx hairdressers
- Third place: Matthew Furnell Health & Nutrition
“I am writing to say a huge thank you to you and your team for supporting Christmas Jumper Day again and raising a fantastic £1,609! That’s amazing, massive well done to you and your team.”
Dania Shaw, Community Fundraising Manager South West at Save the Children UK
Three pupils from Stourfield Infant School won prizes for their beautiful Christmas jumper designs, judged by the team from Pandemonium. The day was rounded off with a warming winter BBQ and mulled wine at Flat White
Winners of the raffle – which include prizes from Lemon Tree Nails and Beauty, Tuckton Podiatry and Tuckton Dental Practice – will be notified in the next few days.
