The ‘Just a Card’ Campaign
Sarah Hamilton, an artist and designer based in London, along with MollieMakes and The Design Trust started a wonderful campaign some time ago which is really starting to gain momentum. It is known as ‘Just a Card.’
When Sarah called for volunteers to help with the campaign on Social Media a few months ago, over fifty eager people responded. Now there is a team of eight people dotted over the U.K. helping to spread the ‘Just a Card’ message, along with many very supportive artists, makers, galleries and independent shop owners.
I am very proud to say that I am one of the aforementioned volunteers. I volunteered because I firmly believe in the campaign’s message. We need to support originality and design and independent shops in order to keep our High Streets vibrant and our Market Towns thriving. Please join us in our crusade!
‘Just a Card’ could also be ‘Just a Coffee,’ ‘Just a Cake,’ ‘Just a Trinket’ ‘Just a ….’ It is really about making any small purchase to help keep independent businesses open and trading successfully.
