Our final winning prize goes to independent retailer, Earlybird in London’s Stoke Newington. Heidi Early owner of the shop was delighted with the terrific response to its children’s Design a Card competition, organised with a local school. All the entries were displayed in the window during Thinking of You week before a winner was chosen, then Earlybird printed up the winning design and sold this in the shop with all the proceeds donated to local charity Hackney Young Carers. The initiative has resulted in an ongoing relationship with the school, and Heidi has now given a talk for year 5 children about how it feels to receive greetings cards, how it makes you feel good and how important cards are in our social media age. Brilliant work Heidi!
