Ditch commercial greeting cards and save £££s for yourself, reduce paper waste, and help good causes.
The idea behind DontSendMeACard is to give the cost equivalent of what you would have spent on printed greeting cards and stamps and send e-cards instead.
But our charities are happy to receive your donations even if it’s a bit less than you would have spent on cards.
For example if you regularly spend £4 on a birthday card, and now 95p on a 1st class stamp (yep!)... let’s call it a fiver. That really adds up over time.
If you gave a little less – for example £3 instead to charity – and sent an e-card you’d be saving yourself £2 each time, saving the planet by reducing paper and delivery fuel, and helping charities small or large that rely on donations.
Charities really do need new ways of receiving income and DontSendMeACard doesn’t cost you anything as you would have spent the money on cards and stamps anyway. What we’re proposing here in this crunch time will actually save you cash and trips to the shops.
It’s a tough time, but don’t let that stop you making loved ones feel special!
