As we move close to Twelfth Night and the de-Christmasing of home and hearth, it is good to know that there is somewhere to send your old Christmas cards. It always seems such a shame to throw them in the recycling skip (though not if they contain glitter, I now know!).
The organisation Women in Prison are asking for your cards: ‘Please, just cut off the fronts, we reuse them for craft card-making workshops for women in prison to send to their children and family in the run up to Christmas’. Here is their website which has details of other craft items they need to help nourish creativity in their midst: http://www.womeninprison.org.uk/about/donate.php.
Address: Women in Prison, 2nd Floor, Elmfield House,
5 Stockwell Mews, London, SW9 9GX
