in Aotearoa, 1 in 7 children endure winter without basic necessities like warm clothing. that's why we partnered with the Middlemore Foundation and created jumper for jumper. together we have donated over 2,900 woollen jumpers, but more mahi is to be done to help keep kiwi kids warm and well through the cooler months.
for every jumper purchased online or instore during the New Zealand winter season, we will knit and gift a jumper to a child in need of an extra layer of warmth. our gifted jumpers are crafted in our Tāmaki Makaurau workroom by our team of skilled craftspeople with zero waste, warmth, and longevity in mind.
jumpers are made in sizes 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 years. crafted in 100% wool and knitted in a various colours using our end of season yarns.
since the inception of this campaign and partnership with the Middlemore Foundation in 2020, we are proud to have gifted over 2,900 jumpers.
"the Jumper for Jumper initiative embodies our commitment to community and craftsmanship. it's our mission to ensure every tamaiti has access to essential clothing during winter," says Emma Ensor, CEO of Standard Issue.
