“Cards for Bravery” is an organisation that brightens the days of hospitalised and seriously ill children through positive, uplifting handmade cards.
Katie Callaghan, the Founder of Cards for Bravery, said:
“We used a grant from the Alec Dickson Trust to go towards a PO Box, card-making supplies, website domain and more. This grant has enabled us to have great success with our project, having distributed over 1,400 cards to hospitalised and seriously ill children in one short year. Cards for Bravery is maintained by a group of volunteers, and is mostly run from hospital beds and teenagers who are chronically sick themselves. Feedback from hospitals, families and the children themselves has been really positive, and has proven that Cards for Bravery is in-fact brightening the days of ill kids. Cards for Bravery just keeps growing and growing, and I cannot thank the Alec Dickson Trust enough for their huge part in helping to grow Cards for Bravery… we couldn’t have done it without you!”
Here are some photos of the volunteers in the hospital making cards:
