Mersey Ferries is gearing up to spread some festive cheer as it hosts its annual Christmas Jumper Day fundraiser on Thursday 11 December 2025.
Now in its sixth year, the much-loved event will once again see the Mersey Ferries team don their brightest jumpers and welcome passengers aboard with added seasonal spirit — all while collecting vital donations for The Wirral Foodbankand the New Brighton Toy Appeal.
The Wirral Foodbank has been providing emergency food to people in crisis since 2011, while the New Brighton Toy Appeal ensures children across the region wake up to a gift on Christmas morning.
Councillor Foukes, Chair of Transport Committee for Liverpool City Region, said:
“Christmas is a time for coming together and supporting one another, and the Mersey Ferries team embodies that spirit every year. Their fundraiser is a brilliant example of how our region rallies around those who need a little extra help. I’m incredibly proud of the team for raising vital funds and spreading some festive joy across the Liverpool City Region.”
Throughout the day, passengers and visitors can enjoy a festive atmosphere across both terminals and onboard, including live performances from a local artist helping bring Christmas magic to the waterfront.
The team is encouraging the public to get involved in any way they can, with several ways to donate:
- Drop off food donations at Seacombe or Pier Head Terminals
- Donate a gift to support the New Brighton Toy Appeal
Last year’s Christmas Jumper Day was a huge success, and Mersey Ferries is hoping the community will once again come together to make this year’s event even bigger and better, helping support local families when they need it most.
