Have developed a creative streak and now have way too many cards I need to give away. Family and friends do not appreciated them really! Do you know of any projects or charities that would? Thanks x

The possiblities are endless:
e-Bay
Craft Fairs
Charity shops - I'm sure they would be delighted to take them for you to sell
Take some round to florists, village shops etc., you'll be amazed how many smaller 'specialist' shops will sell them for you
Do you know anyone who works for a fairly big company who can 'market' them for you in their office?
There's just a few ideas to get you going...

Look in the local newspaper for fundraising events coming up that you could have a stall at.
Ask your local hospital if it would be possible for you to have a table top sale in the entrance and donate funds to a particular ward or equipment the hospital is in need of.
Look out for charities that don't get as much as support as other well known ones. Find a charity that is close to your heart.
Ask a local shop e.g. newsagent, florist, hairdresser, if they would have a box of your cards and decorate the box with details of the charity you are donating the money to.
If you work, arrange a charity day with various things such as dress down for £1 and go round selling your cards, all in aid of charity.
Good luck!

First off really recognize how valuable they really are. A lot of time is spent in cards like these and you need to get something for them. Sell them on line and go to some craft shows. That might help

Take a few to a charity shop. Alternativley, ask the local library if they will sell them at the desk,and provide a collection box for your chosen charity.

You can donate them to the Marie Curie Cancer Care Fund.
They are packaged and sold at the Marie Curie shops for £1.00 each. So far 72,000 cards have been collected.
For details look on the Docrafts website www.docrafts.co.uk

You could trade them for something else. I once corresponded with a girl who wrote to newspapers in 3 states offering to trade her handmade cards for souvenir pencils. Her parents let her use a post Office box.

you could sell them on ebay or take them to any of the charity shops in your area they would be greatly appreciated. If you work then you could sell them to your work colleagues and give the money to charity. Good luck
