It's Christmas Jumper day! 🎄
Have you been thrifty this year and bought a jumper second hand? Or have you dug out the same festive knit you've been wearing for years, like us?!

Today we held our third annual Festive Swap event encouraging colleagues to swap Christmas wrapping items & jumpers instead of buying new!
We also played the How Bad Are Bananas? Game with a focus on consumption to increase awareness of more sustainable choices 😀🍌🎄🎁
