It’s that time of year again and it means Christmas Jumper Day is returning on 7 December. So, indulge in a bit of holiday spirit and come to work (or work from home) wearing your most festive jumper!

What is Christmas Jumper Day?

Christmas Jumper Day is an annual event created by the international charity Save the Children. On Christmas Jumper Day, people are encouraged to donate money in exchange for wearing a festive jumper. The event encourages everyone to see the world as we hope our children do: a colourful place full of happiness!

Christmas and Mental Health   

Whilst Christmas is traditionally a time of celebration, eating, drinking, spending time with family and friends, and generally enjoying the festive spirit. For those who struggle with a mental health condition, the yuletide season can be an especially difficult time.

Whether it’s the financial strain that accompanies gift buying, the cold and dark winter nights, or the reality of spending Christmas alone, there can be a number of triggers for mental health problems during the holiday season.

Keep an eye on your employees at this time of year, and be prepared to offer a listening ear and signpost support to those who find Christmas a difficult time of year.
