Jingle Jam 2024 Announces Eight Partner Charities for Global Fundraising Event

Jingle Jam has announced the eight partner charities that will benefit from money raised during Jingle Jam 2024. Building on last year’s success, Jingle Jam 2024 will unite the world’s best games, creators, and their communities for a fortnight of entertainment to raise millions of pounds to help make the world the best place it can be for children and young people. Jingle Jam 2023 saw creators including Vikkstar123, Freyz Playz, Terroriser and RTGame come together alongside founders The Yogscast for the fundraising festivities. Last year £2.7 million was raised for 12 charity partners which saw the initiative’s lifetime total pass £25 million. Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) and War Child have been appointed as strategic partners for the next three years. They will work closely with Jingle Jam to support the charity’s growth — including helping with resources and planning. The two charities will be joined by Jingle Jam stalwarts Autistica, Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Appeal and Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), as well as three charities joining for the first time: Cool Earth, Sarcoma UK and The Trevor Project. Between them, the partners tackle important issues that make the world a better place for young people. They are focused on areas including mental health, animal conservation, hospital care, LGBTQ+ support, neurodiversity inclusion and children affected by global conflicts and the environment. Selection this year was, as ever, incredibly hard, but we believe these eight charities, including our two strategic partner charities, represent an extremely strong cohort that can deliver impact against our key focus areas in the UK, the US and all around the world, said Jingle Jam Chair Rich Keith. Our 2024 partners will also engage a broader range of creators, a key area for us as we embark on a new three-year approach for growth. We are delighted to have these wonderful charities on board and we’re already working on plans to make Jingle Jam 2024 the best yet. The 2024 Jingle Jam will take place from 1 – 14 December. More details about the event will be announced over the coming months. Founded by Lewis and Simon of the Yogscast in 2011 to raise money for Oxfam, Jingle Jam has grown significantly in size and momentum ever since and was established as a fundraising charity in 2022. Jingle Jam has since grown massively and now draws in hundreds of streamers from around the world and beyond the Yogscast network each year. In 2023, over 600 creators held fundraising streams with a combined 1.5m hours of watch time and over 7.3m views. These included high-profile creators such as Vikkstar123, Terroriser, RTGame and Freyz Playz as well as hundreds of community streamers all around the world. Hundreds of thousands of donors have donated to their favourite creators through Jingle Jam’s partnership with Tiltify to support causes they care about. Jingle Jam donors are also able to access the Jingle Jam Games Collection, which offers unbeatable value and is supported by games developers and publishers around the world.
