Online creators raise more than £3m for eight charities

An annual fundraising event involving online streamers and content creators has earned its eight charity beneficiaries more than £3m.

This year's Jingle Jam event took place during the first two weeks of December to raise money for: World Wildlife Fund (WWF), War Child, Campaign Against Living Miserably, Make-A-Wish, Become, Autistica, the Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity The Grand Appeal and LGBTQ+ mental health charity The Trevor Project.

This year's event involved more than 1,000 fundraisers, who attracted 70,000 donations and seven million viewers across more than 14,400 hours of live streamed content.

Since Jingle Jam launched in 2011 it has raised more than £30m for good causes.

Jingle Jam charity manager Julian Barrell said this year’s event broke records its record for number of creators involved and audience participation.

“They are massive philanthropists, but often not recognised as such,” he said.

Jingle Jam 2025 is over and our Games Collection is no longer available. What a year—thank you!

However, Trust in Rust continues through Dec. 18th! Until then, you can still donate to their campaign or purchase their Rust skins with all proceeds going to our Jingle Jam charities.

Creators involved included environmental YouTuber and science communicator Dr Simon Clark, Made in Chelsea star Tristan Phipps, live streamer LittleBunny_x and Yogscast streamers Sara and Bekki.

“There are a lot of good people in the world, in every sub-community, and a lot of creators with large platforms who want to use their influence for good too,” said Phipps.

WWF has said that more than £358,000 has been raised for the charity, which in November hosted a creator day at its headquarters so that fundraisers could learn more about its work.
