Military Charity Christmas Cards

[SAR Bloke]

I like the idea of sending charity Christmas cards as it displays support as well as providing charity, but am concerned that the charitable donation part is ridiculously small. Does anyone know if charities like SSAFA or RBL get a reasonable percentage from the sale of their cards?

If not I will get some cheapo ones from the high street and just make a straightforward donation.

Thanks

If you've got a "Cards for Good Causes" shop (one's suddenly appeared in our highstreet arcade), they do SSAFA cards amongst many others. A local TV news report on the pitiful amount that the charities get from most of the cards recommended this type of shop as a good percentage from these sales actually goes to the charity.

And the penguins standing around the igloo in military uniform are quite amusing too!
