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

For the 6^th 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.
