LEDBURY'S MP, Bill Wiggin is one man who firmly believes you can "make the world better with a sweater," especially at Christmas.
Mr Wiggin, MP for North Herefordshire, recently put on a Christmas in support Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day.
Those who "wear the woolly" are invited to donate to the life-saving good cause.
Bill Wiggin MP said: "I'm delighted to support Save the Children to help raise funds for its vital work in the UK and around the world, and what better way to do this than to get into the festive spirit and take part in their Christmas Jumper Day campaign”
The money raised from Christmas Jumper Day will help to save lives in some of the toughest parts of the world, and give children living in poverty here in the UK the chance to fulfil their potential.
Just £1 could buy antibiotics to treat three newborn babies with potentially deadly infections and £2 could buy 18 sachets of oral rehydration treatment for children suffering from life-threatening diarrhoea. And with match funding from the government this year, donations could help twice as many children.
