IT'S REALLY SIMPLE

How to send a little love

Campaign cut-off: Monday 14 December 2026. Please post your cards or take them to a drop box by then, so there’s time for posting, sorting and delivery before Christmas. Some drop boxes may close earlier, so please check your local details.

01

Choose a Christmas card

Make one, buy one or use one you already have. All are lovely!

02

Write from the heart

Be positive, authentic and heartfelt. Make someone smile.

03

Leave it unsealed

So the people delivering your card can check it if needed.

What would you like to do?

Lovely! Let's write your card.

Don't worry about finding the perfect words. Imagine what would make your heart sing if this were the only card you received this Christmas.

01

Choose a card

Make one, buy one or find one at home. All are lovely.

02

Write from the heart

Share a warm Christmas wish, a short story, a joke, a favourite memory or something that could make someone smile. Be positive, authentic and heartfelt. Just be you!

03

A few simple guidelines

Write clearly. Keep it kind and inclusive, since you won't know the person receiving it. Please don't add personal contact details, money, gifts or religious assumptions. If a child writes something tricky to read, write their words underneath.

04

Keep the envelope unsealed

Rest homes and other receiving organisations may wish to check the cards before sharing them.
