How the Scheme works
Most of us who work send greetings cards to our colleagues. We all know that this is a busy time of year and some people, whilst wanting to send some formal greeting, feel that the idea of sending a card to someone they work alongside each day is not the best way of doing this.
This scheme provides a means of conveying greetings to your colleagues and, at the same time, supporting researchers who are striving to fight against childhood cancer.
