Christmas Jumper Day 2019

Before we start hanging up our stockings on the wall ready for the visit of St Nic, the First Media team wanted to do something extra 'Christmassy' this year.

We’ve always taken part in Christmas Jumper Day and raised funds for both local and national charities, but this year we chose to donate much-needed supplies to a local Food Bank, in the true spirit of Christmas.

Over the last week or so, the guys have amassed quite an impressive collection and earlier today Shane and Jack delivered our box to the Louth Community Larder. The independent Food Bank provide vital support to people in Louth all year round and they rely solely on charitable donations.

"Christmas is a time for giving... and we wanted to spread a bit of extra Christmas cheer this year," said Shane. 

"As a team, we like to raise money for all sorts of charities, but it was good to all come together and support a really worthy local cause."

And after we’d made our delivery, the Christmas jumper-wearing team members posed for a festive photo in front of the tree.

One final thing - the First Media office will be closed from Friday 20th December through to Thursday 2nd January. Merry Christmas and see you in 2020!
