Christmas cards to raise funds for Stourbridge-based Mary Stevens Hospice

The range of unique festive cards will be sold in aid of Mary Stevens Hospice.

The proceeds from each pack's sale will provide funds to ensure the hospice, based off Hagley Road, can continue to provide specialist care and support to people living in Dudley, the Black Country and the surrounding area.

Each year a range of cards are sold by Mary Stevens Hospice Trading Company and have proved a great success – with more than £20,000 being raised and 7,500 cards sold in one year.

This year, there are 21 cards on sale and the hospice's pride to be part of the Black Country is shown through a selection of six cards that feature local snowy scenes across the area.

Scenes

All of the cards featuring local scenes are made by Queen Bee Designs and created by four artists – Sharon Kulesa, Nicky Baron, Sheena Russell and Reg Siger. The 15 other cards in the collection were designed by Elle Media and Collisons.

Debbie Haynes, retail administrator at Mary Stevens Hospice Trading Company, said: “Once again we have a wonderful selection of Christmas cards this year which raise a substantial amount of money for Mary Stevens Hospice.

"We have 21 designs all in environmentally friendly packaging and due to popular demand we have increased our local scenes to six to include Kinver caves, Wordsley Cone, Netherton Canal, Dudley Castle, Wombourne Village and Mary Stevens Park. These are a limited supply so make sure you buy them early.”

To buy the Christmas cards, visit the wesbite, where you will be directed to their eBay store.

Cards can also be purchased over the phone by calling 0800 5668540.
