Moonpig Launches Cards for Christmas for End Youth Homelessness

Moonpig Launches Cards for Christmas for End Youth Homelessness

Moonpig has launched a new range of charity Christmas cards with an extra special touch in aid of nationwide charity End Youth Homelessness.

All of the card designs participating in the charity range can be purchased from here: www.moonpig.com/uk/personalised-cards/christmas/charity-cards/ 

Previous reports have shown youth homelessness in the UK has grown by 40% in the last five years*, and as the first charity of its kind set up to tackle this issue, End Youth Homelessness and their member charities now provide help to 40,000 16 – 25 year olds every year by ensuring they have access to housing, education, employment and support.

In support of such a worthy cause, Moonpig has teamed up with six aspiring young designers who access the End Youth Homelessness services, to create new festive card designs for its range of charity Christmas cards. 

The designs created by Megan Sheppard (18), Emma Little (23), Chloe Emslie (21), Courtney Brown (22), Megan Downie (23), and Natasha Harrison (19), feature a mixture of bold and bright festive colours combined with classic Christmas characters including reindeers & robins, with the option to personalise one of the designs using the photo upload function.

Speaking about creating her card design Emma Little commented: “Being creative and artistic is something I’ve always enjoyed doing, I spend a lot of my spare time doing arty activities, so when I heard about this opportunity I thought it would be an amazing experience to put my skills to the test and create a card for Moonpig.

Each card created by the End Youth Homelessness designers features a credit to the individual, explaining how the services of the charity has helped them turn their life around.

The wider charity range includes a total of 30 Christmas cards featuring a mixture of personalised, photo upload and standard designs to choose from. All cards feature messaging which shows support for the charity, and information on the cause.

Sarah-Jane Porter, Global Design & Licensing Director at Moonpig commented“We admire the support End Youth Homelessness provides to so many young people across the country, so it was really important for us to not only put together a great Christmas card offer from our existing range, but also to create an opportunity for six young aspiring designers to learn from our expert designers and turn their drawings into brand new cards that became part of the range.”

Moonpig has pledged to make a donation of £50,000 to End Youth Homelessness in connection with the sale of these Christmas cards. By purchasing a card, you’re helping to support their mission to end youth homelessness on a national scale and give vulnerable young people a future.

The designs will be available to buy from 14th November – 21st December from here: www.moonpig.com/uk/personalised-cards/christmas/charity-cards/
