Following the success of last year’s Christmas cards,
GM Fundraising has commissioned some more cards
from the children at Hope House Children’s hospice.

»»GM Fundraising worked
directly with the children from Hope House to
create these unique cards and the drawings.
Gary Morton, founder of GM Fundraising,
explains: “The Christmas drawings from
Hope House this year have created some

truly wonderful cards. With Christmas fast
approaching we have set ourselves the
target of selling as many of these special
cards to as many people in our industry as
we can.
“We were really pleased with the positive
feedback and support we received last year,
selling more than 4000 cards, many of which
were personalised with company logos and

messages. Every penny raised went straight
to the Hope House Children’s Hospice.
“So if you are traditional enough to be
sending out a Christmas card this year, send
these cards and give money for these amazing
children and a very worthy cause during this
special time of year,” Gary adds.
