If you are fed up with sending lots of Christmas cards to colleagues at work, or people you met with at your local club then Sue Ryder has the solution.
Why not write just one card for everyone and donate the money you save to help others? This is what fundraisers at local charity Sue Ryder - Thorpe Hall Hospice are encouraging people to do.
Running for the sixth year the Sue Ryder team have been busy kicking off their Christmas card appeal by sending their Christmas Card Appeal packs to local businesses.
The Christmas Card Appeal packs include a selection of cards for you to write your message on, a tree for you to hang your cards on, and donation envelopes. Last year’s appeal raised more than £5,000 and fundraisers are hoping to beat that total this year.
For more details about the Christmas Card Appeal or to sign your company up please contact the fundraising team at thorpe.fundraising@sueryder.org or call 01733 330060.
