ST Helens families have been sharing their selfies and pictures of them wearing Matalan's latest Christmas pyjamas which raises money for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Charity.

The pyjamas are a must-buy in the run up to Christmas as all funds go to the hospital.

This year’s design features a colourful print made up of figures holding hands alongside the hospital's mascot Oli the elephant.

We want to see your pictures in your Alder Hey PJs and your pictures will feature in our online gallery!

He is also a fundraising ambassador for Alder Hey Children's Hospital Charity for all his efforts fundraising and holding his annual Christmas Toy Appeal each year for children who will be spending their Christmas at Alder Hey. Without the help, support and care of Alder Hey I wouldn't be where I am today.
