What working together looks like
The short version: our volunteers make handmade cards, and you tell us what your unit needs. Every hospital has its own rules about what can come through the door — materials, sealed packaging, no glitter, no food, nothing with a child's name on it, drop-off versus mail. Send us yours and we'll brief our volunteers on them before a single card is made.
We can also talk about how many cards you'd like and how often, whether they should suit a particular age range or season, and who on your side we should send them to.
We're a small student-led group, so we'd rather start with something we can keep up than promise more than we can deliver.
