Make a donation to Save the Children when saving money by using a Savoo discount this Christmas
This winter we’re helping you support the 30% of UK children living in poverty (4.1 million children), no matter your financial situation. We’re donating 5%* of our revenue to Save The Children on every purchase made all week. By shopping for your Christmas gifts, New Year’s Eve outfit, or Thanksgiving dinner using a Savoo discount code, you’ll be directly raising money for children who need your help.
Last year the Savoo team raised an extra £113 for Save The Children by participating in the Christmas Jumper Day. Check back to see if we beat it in 2024!

During colder months, children in poverty miss out even more due to the high costs of heating a home and the school holidays meaning many miss out on their free school meals. A shocking 3.1 million emergency food parcels were given in 2023/24, 1.1 million of which went to families with children. This has been a rise of 4% in the last year, and is twice the number of food parcels than five years ago. With 45% of global child deaths linked to malnutrition: it is clear that Save the Children’s work is more vital than ever.

Save the Children Q&A
We spoke to Peter Hickey, Regional Corporate Partnerships Executive at Save The Children, to find out more.
Christmas Jumper Day is obviously a big part of the Save The Children fundraising calendar, what does it mean to Save The Children for individuals and businesses to support this?
“It’s funny, Christmas Jumper Day is one of our cornerstone fundraising events, but a lot of people don’t know that the day was created by Save The Children! The day is majorly successful, every office I’ve worked in– and most of my friends’ offices, celebrate the day and fundraise for the occasion. And of course, we celebrate Christmas Jumper Day ourselves in the Save The Children office!
It’s wonderful that communities can find the fun in fundraising as it encourages so many more people to take part. By taking part you’re also cementing the festive season as a season for giving, and helping remind people that what a lot of these end-of-year celebrations are about is giving to others.
That’s why it’s great to work with Savoo as it’s another fun and easy way to raise money for a great cause."
How can people support Save The Children for Christmas Jumper Day, do you have any advice for optimum fundraising?
Christmas Jumper Day this year falls on December 12th, so the first step is to sign up to take part whether it’s just you, a group of friends, or your entire workplace.
My key advice for anyone fundraising is to first dig deep into the heart of what Save The Children does. By doing your research and finding out exactly what these children face, you can be much more passionate in your fundraising, and communicating these issues to people who are donating to you.
I find that people have the natural desire to take action, especially when presented with the reality of the cause they are helping. Always try to tell those stories because when you hear them firsthand from the children themselves, it moves you to action.
Don’t forget that the £2 donation for participation is a suggestion, you can get creative and come up with ways people can donate more. Things like a raffle or additional snacks in the office at lunchtime can increase the average donation of your group and make a huge difference overall. By letting people know they immediately make a difference by donating, you can be far more successful with your fundraiser!
Do you have a message to share to Savoo users this festive season?
Thank you! This is the third time Save The Children has been part of the Savoo Caring Christmas campaign, and it’s always fun to see people fundraising for our good cause while doing their festive shopping.
Our work at Save The Children gives the child a voice, and centres their experiences when it comes to providing support. That involves really knowing what the needs are of both the child and the communities they live in. At Save The Children we’re heavily involved with this hands-on work while also allowing the children to be the main agents, and donations help us to achieve this.
In more than 100 countries we help children stay safe, healthy and learning, and your donations this Christmas will help children in the UK and around the world have a happier 2025.
Our ambition is that no child dies from preventable causes before their fifth birthday, by 2030. Every penny raised by you goes toward supporting this goal.
Savoo will donate 5% of our organic revenue on every discount code to Save the Children from the 9th to the 15th of December 2024.
Start shopping to start supporting; check out today’s top voucher codes here at Savoo, create an account, or find out more about the other charities we’re supporting this Christmas.
Next week there will be another charity that you can donate to at no extra cost to you.
