Thank you all for your support over the last few weeks on the Bailey Christmas Jumper Journey campaign. We have made and sold more than 60 jumpers and dozens of crochet patterns and achieved £225 with The Bailey Bear charity auction on eBay. This, along with Bailey’s contribution, have helped us raise £1,253.50 so far, which will be distributed to the chosen charities as voted by you:

• Macmillian Cancer Support – 52.9%
• Shelter – 19.1%
• Barnardo’s – 14.7%
• OTR (Off The Record) – 13.2%

Our team of volunteers have continued working tirelessly to meet the demand, so there are a few final jumpers available in the PRIMA leisure store. If you have not managed to get your hands on one, hurry!

And please remember that 100% of all money raised through the Christmas campaign is going directly to the four chosen charities above.

The Bailey Bear has now reached Santa’s Grotto in Lapland. Thanks to everyone who followed The Bailey Bear journey on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

A group of Bailey volunteers, friends and family are behind the The Bailey Bear Christmas jumpers.

At home or with the Bailey Crochet Group, volunteers from all departments have helped to create these unique pieces and raise money for charity. For every jumper made, Bailey is making a donation.

The Bailey Crochet Group ran every Friday in November and proved very popular both for experienced crocheters and beginners.

We also received lots of help from the University of Bristol Knitting Society, who have made some jumpers for the Bear and have helped us raise money for charity.
