  • Mersey Ferries is gearing up for its annual Christmas Jumper Day fundraiser on Thursday 11th December 2025.

  • For the 6th year in a row, the Mersey Ferries team will be welcoming passengers aboard with some extra festive spirit and proudly collecting donations for The Wirral Foodbank, a charity providing emergency food to local people in crisis since November 2011, and gifts for the New Brighton Toy Appeal.

  • Councillor Foulkes, 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.”

  • Passengers and visitors will be treated to a festive atmosphere throughout the day, including performances from a local artist, bringing the holiday spirit to the waterfront. The team is encouraging the public to get involved and support local families in need, with several ways to donate:

    • Drop off food donations at Seacombe or Pier Head Terminals
    • Give a gift to the New Brighton Toy Appeal

  • Last year’s Christmas Jumper Day was a huge success, and this year, Mersey Ferries is aiming to make the event even bigger and better.
