Alliance Automotive Group (AAG) colleagues across the UK and Ireland embraced the festive spirit for the annual Christmas Jumper Day, combining fun and fundraising to support two vital charitable organisations, the Children\u2019s Health Foundation here in Ireland, as well as the Ben Automotive Industry in the UK.<\/p>\n

From cosy knits to quirky and creative designs, AAG\u2019s teams donned their Christmas jumpers with pride, demonstrating that festive cheer and meaningful giving go hand in hand. The event was filled with laughter, community, and a true sense of goodwill.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Children\u2019s Health Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of sick children and their families through funding advanced medical equipment, research, and healthcare services. The foundation plays a critical role in ensuring the best possible care for young patients across Ireland.<\/p>\n

In the UK, Ben is the trusted charity supporting the wellbeing of people who work in the automotive industry and their families. The charity provides essential services including mental health support, financial assistance, and advice, helping the industry\u2019s workforce overcome challenges and improve quality of life.<\/p>\n

AAG said it is “proud to stand alongside these charities whose missions resonate deeply within both the UK and Irish communities”.<\/p>\n

“The generous donations collected during Christmas Jumper Day will directly support the valuable work of Ben and the Children\u2019s Health Foundation,” the company added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
