3SG are delighted to be supporting the delivery of the #ChristmasCompassion card project for the third year in a row, in partnership with Connect Bath (formerly Bath Open Christmas).
More than 30 schools across BaNES supported the #ChristmasCompassion Christmas Card project over the last two years, creating some 4,000 individual cards which were sent to care homes, hospitals, individuals and charities such as Julian House and Women's Refuge, in order to bring some festive cheer to those in need.
Originally created to help tackle loneliness during the ‘Covid Christmas’, the project is continuing to send smiles to the faces of those who may find the Christmas period particularly challenging. Receiving a thoughtful, hand-designed card from a local school child is a small gesture of kindness, compassion and inclusion, which can really make a difference to those who may otherwise feel forgotten or isolated at Christmas.
Connect Bath and 3SG are eternally grateful for the school children's participation, and last year, 8 wonderful cards of theirs were chosen to be printed and sold at St Michaels Without Church, to raise funds for Connect Bath. These are still available to buy until mid-December 2022! This year, each of the winning designers will also receive an artistic goody bag, kindly donated by the Art Cohort.
This years' blank cards are already with many local schools, who are busy working their magic on them ahead of collections on Thursday 8th December.
We will then be delivering the cards on the week commencing Monday 12th December, with the invaluable help of Care Home Volunteers, to all those who have requested them in BaNES.
To get involved - whether by requesting cards for your organisation, or for an individual, friend or neighbour - please click here to fill out the relevant form.
Alternatively, if you'd be keen to help deliver the cards to their recipients, we'd appreciate your support any time that suits you between Monday 12th and Friday 16th December. Please let us know by emailing contact@3sg.org.uk.
Together, we can help spread some Christmas magic and channel the spirit of the festive season - giving!
