Cards for your community

Glue. Paper. Pens. Glitter. And a lot of creativity. The perfect combination to make spectacular greetings cards. 

And that's just what Maria, Ted and the gang did back in February. They got crafty in Kentish Town and designed their very own cards – which are now available for you to buy, thanks to the lovely people at thortful. 

thortful is a creative card marketplace, supporting a community of designers, illustrators and photographers who create beautiful, unique greeting cards and upload them for anyone in the world to buy. They invited our lovely older and younger neighbours to design some cards for their site, which you can now see on the North London Cares' creator profile.

With cards for occasions from Easter, to thank you, to congratulations, there are plenty of designs to choose from, all hand-crafted by your older neighbours. 

What’s more, you can also use code NLC20 to get a 20% discount on any purchases made on thortful, and 10% of your basket value will be donated directly to North London Cares. 

And an additional 50p from every card designed by North London Cares will come straight back to your community!

Thank you to Laura, Ethel and all our neighbours for their creativity – and to thortful for inviting us to share their beautiful designs with you all. Head to the thortful website to check out their cards and get buying!
