GM Fundraising is unveiling its 2020 Christmas card – and the annual fundraiser more important than ever this year with so much of the charity’s other events curtailed by Covid-19.
Gary Morton, the charity’s founder, explained: “We know the festive season will soon be upon us and the children at Hope House have been busy creating our annual Christmas card. Every year we commission a beautifully designed Christmas card and this year’s card has been a collaborative effort from Oliver and the other children at Hope House, which is very special.”
GM Fundraising has raised almost £2million for Hope House Children’s Hospices since it was set up 25 years ago but 2020 has been a challenging year for the charity, Gary explained: “Never before has the support been so vital to Hope House with all our charity and fundraising events having to be postponed or cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Over 95% of Hope House’s annual operating costs are met through charitable donations and they have been faced with additional challenges due to the pandemic. All face-to- face nursing now requires the use of full PPE, and the average cost per day has risen to £78.00 per child. We are hoping that the sales of the Christmas cards will help support them at this time.”
Gary concluded: “Every penny raised in the sale of the Christmas cards goes directly to Hope House. We are grateful for the support from the industry and we hope the sales of this year’s Christmas cards helps spread a little hope and festive cheer at this time.”The Christmas cards are available in quantities over 50, and are overprinted with your company logo and personal message. They cost £1.20 each, plus p&p and can be ordered direct by emailing Alan Sadler at alan@gmfundraising.co.uk or by visiting www.gmfundraising.co.uk
