Wrights GPX wear woollies for a great cause

WEST BROMWICH, U.K. - Dec. 7, 2016 - PRLog -- The charity's #Christmasjumperday encourages supporters to wear cheesy Xmas knits in the name of charity. Funds raised help alleviate child poverty and hunger across the globe as well as fund projects aimed at increasing education and improving health. Last year the event raised over £4million and the charity hopes to raise even more this year.

Staff at the West Bromwich based manufacturer will be doing their best to raise much needed funds. They employ almost 100 in their manufacturing base and warehouse and are hopeful most team members will be taking part. Staff wearing a jumper is encouraged to make a donation, and staff NOT wearing a jumper are encouraged to make a larger donation. Sales of cakes and goodies will also add to the amount raised.

The company has also created a text code for family, friends and business partners who wish to contribute. Text TEAMWRIGHTS2 to 70050 to donate £2.

The company will be posting regular updates on their Twitter page @WrightsGPX using hashtag #GPXmas.

Founded almost a century ago Children In Need has been at the forefront of campaigns aimed to eradicate disease, hunger and poverty as well as establish the availability of education and protection for children across the globe.
