Free Charity Card Range Launches for Mental Health Awareness Week

In support of Mental Health Awareness Week (13th - 19th May), Moonpig has launched a new collection of charity cards in partnership with suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), which customers can send to friends and family for free.

Whether you’re wanting to simply check in with a loved one to brighten their day, or reach out to someone who might be struggling, the new collection aims to help make reaching out much easier - because sometimes, it can be hard to find the words to say.

Taking it one step further to help ensure the nation connects during Mental Health Awareness week, Moonpig is giving customers the chance to send a free card to friends and family from the new range using code FROMTHEHEART until Sunday 19th May.

Designed in collaboration with CALM, the new range of eight cards available exclusively on Moonpig, features heart-warming prompts and witty one liners designed to make them smile. While other designs give customers the chance to reconnect over shared memories by uploading photos of their favourite shared moments together.

Sarah-Jane Porter, Global Design & Licensing Director from Moonpig commented: “We’re delighted to be launching this new collection of cards in partnership with Campaign Against Living Miserably to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week as we truly know the power that receiving a card can have on someone’s day. With this new range we’ve continued to create designs which are intended to spark joy and help initiate conversations with a loved one, and so we hope the nation will make good use of these cards during such an important awareness week.”

Simon Gunning, CEO at CALM said: ”'You really can't underestimate the impact that reaching out to someone can have, but for lots of people it's surprisingly hard to find the right words. We hope these cards make it easier to start those conversations and we're so grateful to Moonpig for making this possible. On the one hand it will give someone a good laugh, on the other hand it might just save someone's life.”
The new collection of eight charity cards comes in addition to the pre-existing range of 11 designs , and the exclusively designed ‘You Got This’ charity bouquet. A donation from the sale of each card and bouquet sold will go towards supporting CALM’s lifesaving suicide prevention services.

1 in 5 of us will experience suicidal thoughts in our lifetime and every week, 125 lives are lost to suicide in the UK. CALM was founded to tackle this issue and since its launch in 2006, has helped millions of people living miserably to find a way forward. The partnership with Moonpig aims to connect friends and family, because one word, one gesture, one moment of closeness can make all the difference.
