Glee’s Matthew Mein gears up for Most Jumperful Challenge

 

The countdown to Christmas has officially begun and this year Glee’s Event Director, Matthew Mein, will be donning his most festive knitwear to take on the 2025 Most Jumperful Challenge in support of the Greenfingers Charity.

 

Following in the jingly footsteps of last year’s jumper champions, Kimberley Hornby George and Chris Moncrieff, Matthew will be wearing his Christmas jumpers every single day in December, all to help raise vital funds for Greenfingers, the charity that creates magical gardens for children’s hospices across the UK.

 

Since its launch, The Most Jumperful – founded by Natalie Boynton – has raised an incredible £31,600 for Greenfingers. In 2024 alone, Kimberley and Chris brought festive cheer (and plenty of sparkle) to the garden industry, raising £7,900 with the generous backing of sponsors including The AMES Companies, Durston Garden Products, Henry Bell, Glee, and many more.

 

Now, it’s Matthew’s turn to step into the spotlight and he’s inviting brands across the garden and retail industries to get involved by sponsoring his challenge.

 

25 sponsorship slots available – £100 per day

Some slots have already been snapped up, so don’t miss your chance to join the fun, show your support, and see your brand featured throughout the challenge.

 

Every £100 donation will help Matthew spread the festive spirit far and wide, raising both smiles and funds to help Greenfingers continue its vital work.

 

Talking ahead of Most Jumperful Challenge, Matthew Mein said; “I’ve seen first-hand the impact Greenfingers has on families going through incredibly tough times.  The Most Jumperful is such a fun, light-hearted way for us all to make a difference and I can’t wait to wear my jumpers with pride this December. I’d love as many of our Glee community and industry friends as possible to get behind me.”
