My story

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, trim the tree and spend time with loved ones, but as a nation we are wasting tonnes of paper through sending Christmas cards. Did you know the Christmas card industry in the UK is worth £1.7 billion, higher than anywhere else in the world.
According to Britain’s fastest growing waste collection company, it’s time to ban the old tradition of sending cards, as they are terrible news for the environment and a lot of them end up in land fill. Even widely recyclable cardboard is often contaminated with shiny and glittery decorations.
We are not the Grinch of Christmas but instead of sending cards we would welcome a small donation instead to our charity partners. Please can you consider a donation no matter how small – every penny counts.

Christmas Jumper Day
As you dust off your Christmas jumpers for Christmas jumper day we'd love for you to add a dash of goodwill to the festivities by making a small donation to our Charity Partners Into University and Shelter. As we celebrate in our most colourful, quirky and most outrageous Christmas jumpers lets stand together with the charities that are making it better for thousands of people all over the country all year round!


Thank you for checking out my page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto Shelter and IntoUniversity.
