To date our charity Christmas card packs have raised over £2.5 million for a variety of charities. Each cause is chosen with great care to ensure that all the money is used wisely and efficiently. We choose ‘hands on’ charities, who work directly with those in need.

In 2009, we are supporting: the homelessness charities Shelter and St Mungo’s; the young people’s support service, ChildLine; WaterAid’s clean water and sanitation projects in developing countries; and Help the Hospices, who provide time and care to 250,000 children and adults with terminal illness every year.
