I was sent some of these cards to review and I just love them, I like a charity card at Christmas, its more meaningful than just sending a boxed ordinary card. Its relevant in a season that is about goodwill.
I do find that charity cards can be a bit baubles and candles, a bit samey and I like sending cute cards or handcrafted ones to family.
Share the Feeling have managed to produce just such a card, they are fresh looking with hand drawn designs
This Christmas, they've joined forces disability charity Kith & Kids to offer you the ultimate ethical Christmas card.
Packs of 6 cards and co-ordinating envelopes cost £10. Kith & Kids will receive £3.50 from each pack of cards.
100% of the money will provide opportunities for people with learning disabilities.
My particular favourite is the angel, she has a cheeky chubby faced grin, the sort that makes you smile.
Other favourites are the Santa on a reindeer, the designs are quirky and simply done.
Oh and my pet hate on a card is baubles but Share The Feeling have made even my pet hate just so nice on these cards.
Take a look at Share The Feeling's blog for all the designs
These packs of stylish designs are handmade by Share the Feeling’s team of talented people with learning disabilities who aim to make the world a better place… one gift at a time. So much so, in this season of goodwill, they are donating all of the profits to Kith & Kids, a charity that also supports people with learning disabilities to lead full and independent lives.
At the moment, employment is a concern for everyone. Unfortunately for people with learning disabilities this means that even fewer people than ever are able to find meaningful employment with companies who can offer the support they may need. In fact, just 10% of people with learning disabilities known to government services are in any kind of paid work, of which very few work full time (16 hours)*.
This collaboration between Share the Feeling and Kith & Kids is a shining example of how communities can work together to give people with learning disabilities a chance to use their skills in a meaningful way.
“Working with Kith & Kids to create these gorgeous cards has allowed us to take on another part time employee, so it really is a charity card that has a double impact! When you buy these cards, every single penny you spend makes a positive difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities.
What’s not to love?”

The cards are beautifully hand crafted and finished to a very high standard by the talented team (The Chain Gang). Packs contain 6 cards each with one of nine different festive designs, a blank interior so that you can add your own messages, stylish sparkles and matching envelopes. Packs cost £10 of which all profits (£3.50) go to Kith & Kids.
Charity Christmas cards really couldn’t get much better than this. They aren’t the cheapest cards on the market, but not many will be able to claim such life changing end results!
Give more than a card this Christmas.
