Printing firm's Christmas card charity gesture

Manvers-based instantprint will donate £5 to one of four good causes for every order placed between October 27 and December 21.

Customers can choose to benefit children’s cancer charity Candlelighters, dog refuge Rain Rescue, Yorkshire Air Ambulance or the Alzheimer’s Society.

The firm expects to receive around 2,800 orders this Christmas — raising a potential £14,000 for adults, children and animals in need.

Co-owner James Kinsella (pictured) said: “We are delighted to be helping these charities who are committed to worthwhile causes.

“The charities we have chosen to raise money for are each very different and we hope our customers will join us in supporting them.”

The company is using hashtag #IPcharitycards to raise awareness of the campaign on social media.

Candlelighters funds cancer research and hospital services, as well as offering family holidays and hosting bereaved parents’ groups.

Rain Rescue cares for cats and dogs abandoned or abused in South Yorkshire.

Life-saving Yorkshire Air Ambulance needs £12,000 a day to keep its flying doctors flying.

Alzheimer’s Society helps 850,000 people experiencing dementia around the UK.

Card pack prices start at £21 — packs contain of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 each.
