We really can't say thanks enough, we've now topped 3000 cards sold to help support the cause
A Huge Thank You
The create a card Campaign has banked over £2,600 so far, please do keep them coming in.
Karen Bowyer says: "Compton are delighted that
Mountain Ash Crafts have chosen us again this year to benefit from the proceeds of this wonderful idea. We would also like to pass on our thanks to all who contributed to last year's campaign."
We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of card makers and the quality of their work. It only goes to show what caring people our customers are and we thank them all for their kind donations to this worthwhile cause.
Thanks to all who turned up to make a card,
we hope you enjoyed the days as much as we did.
Mountain Ash Crafts have teamed together with Compton Hospice to raise £2,000 with their CREATE A CARD FOR COMPTON campaign. All you have to do is make your own hand made greetings cards and just donate them to Mathew at Mountain Ash Crafts who will give you 10 loyalty card points for each card donated. He will then pass them on to Compton Hospice who will sell them to their supporters. If you need help, Mountain Ash can supply all the inspiration and materials you need.
Karen Bowyer, Corporate Fundraiser at Compton Hospice says: "This is such a simple idea and yet it could generate massive funds. So please help out by donating your cards back, it really will make a difference."
Please donate your cards generously and help this campaign reach its £2,000 target.
Compton's Ambassador Ruth Badger, of The Apprentice and The Big Idea fame, has made this comment:

I would like to express my thanks to all of you who have donated cards for our appeal. I was amazed that, at only three months into the campaign, we have already collected over 2000 cards.
Please give your cards generously; they really will make a difference.
This is such a simple fundraising idea; the cards are being well received by the companies selling them on to colleagues. I have had such a positive response and comments have been made on the high quality of the cards.
The campaign has reached the attention of national publications (including the Craft Creations Magazine) as well as our own Express & Star. It is a great way to promote the fun in making your own cards as well as highlighting all the good work we do at the Hospice.
We have a waiting list of companies wanting to receive their box so, if you have any cards waiting to come to us, they will be greatly appreciated.
