Fearne Cotton and Myleene Klass don Christmas jumpers for Save the Children

Everyone loves a novelty festive jumper – and even better when it's all for a good cause. From Myleene Klass and Fearne Cotton to Union J and The Saturdays, celebrities from all over the UK have popped on a pullover to show their support for Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day campaign.

As the venture enters its third year, children's charity Save the Children is asking even more people across the UK to join the woolly revolution to help "make the world better with a sweater".

The jumpers will raise funds for Save the Children’s vital work in some of the toughest parts of the world and here in the UK and some of the jumpers will be available to buy in Asda stores nationwide and online at George.com.

All money raised from Christmas Jumper Day will go towards helping the most vulnerable children in the world. Globally, 6.6 million children still die before their fifth birthday every year, most from easily preventable illnesses such as malaria.

Closer to home, in the UK more than 3.5 million children are living in poverty. While their peers come to school well fed, well rested and prepared to learn, these poorer children are missing out on a fair start in life.
