People all across Salford celebrated Christmas Jumper Day in aid of Save the Children.

Seven years ago, on Friday December 14, Save the Children launched Christmas Jumper Day with the aim of raising money to help children around the world stay safe and healthy.

Since then, the day has proven popular, with schools, workplaces, families and friends across the UK all taking part.

Nicola Fleury, the owner of Kidzrus private day nurseries, is taking part in this years Christmas Jumper Day alongside the children in her nurseries. She said: “This helps to change a child’s life by making a small donation and with everyone on board we hope to do just that.

“We are aware that all donations help children to grow up healthy and safe.  Children can access education and be what they want to be, Kidzrus Nursery ethos is Every Child, Every Chance and we know by helping towards Save the Children fund, we are contributing to the cause.

“Our children have been busy making their own jumpers too.  We are proud of our Salford Community and we help to support our local children and families in Salford Via our food bank at Media City where parents collect weekly food parcels from our nursery.

“It’s important to help as much as possible but we also understand that our local families need help and support too.”
