This year at Red C we have decided to take a different approach to our agency Christmas card… we’ve created six cards that we can pack up and sell in aid of the charity Mustard Tree. The cards we’ve created aren’t just a pretty picture of a winter scene like other Christmas cards… each of the six cards is an inspirational story for Christmas.

Everyone here at Red C has been heartened by the work that Mustard Tree do to provide life support for the homeless, marginalised and vulnerable across Greater Manchester… so this year the dreaded agency Christmas card brief had only one solution… create something to help this Charity at the time of year when it needs help the most… Christmas!

On the front of each card is a simple picture of a person, and on the reverse is their story. From Intisar who was a Doctor in Darfur and had to flee her country to Marc who has a passion for food and is a recovering alcoholic… each card tells how the person on the front has overcome difficulties in their life and, with help from Mustard Tree, found their self-worth and are moving in a positive direction.

To but a pack of cards there are two ways to buy, and all the money from the purchase of £3 per pack will go to Mustard Tree. You can buy online by clicking here.

Alternatively, the very kind and generous Sarah Wilson from Hey Little Cupcake is selling them at her Christmas shop in Spinningfields from Saturday December 3rd… so you can get yourself a gorgeous cupcake, coffee and help a charity all in one fell swoop!

Just before we go, a big thanks to Paul Moffat for shooting the cards for us.

Update, please note: Due to a printing error only 5 cards are available, MJ has been omitted.
