 Christmas Card Fundraiser
We’re once again offering companies club and
organisations an easy way to raise money at
Christmas for Rosie’s Helping Hands and reduce
the number of cards you send to colleagues
and friends.
The Christmas card is large enough for a number
of people to sign and leave a message, in return
for a donation of what they would have paid for a
box of cards. The card can be displayed on a notice board or desk.
To receive a free card please contact Karen Ross at mail@rosieshelpinghands.org
or ring 01922 456398. |
