Spread the festive joy: Join Our Christmas & New Year Card-Making Initiative
Last year, Fingal Volunteer Centre launched the Christmas and New Year Cards Initiative to reach out to people living in isolation. Volunteers from across Fingal created beautiful handmade cards, which were collected and distributed through local organisations supporting these individuals.
The initiative received wonderful feedback and made such a positive impact on the community — so this year, we are delighted to bring it back! We are inviting individual volunteers, families, schools, corporate offices, and community groups to join us once again in spreading joy and kindness by creating handmade Christmas and New Year cards. Together, we can reach even more people and remind them that they are valued and remembered during this special time of year.
Join us in making this year’s initiative even more impactful — one card, one message, one act of kindness at a time.
How You Can Get Involved
We welcome everyone to join — whether as an individual, a school class, a community group, or a workplace team! Here’s how:
Create Your Cards
- Create handmade cards when it suits you, with only one greeting either Happy Christmas OR Happy New Year (Use your creativity — draw, paint, decorate, or craft! Take inspiration from internet)
- Include a kind note such as “Wishing you peace and happiness for 2026” or “Wishing you a joyful Christmas”
- Do not address the card to anyone in particular.
- Please sign the card with your first name only. For example – From Emma
- If you have an envelope, please leave it open. Do not seal the envelope.
