Cards for Bravery

Who we are

Cards for Braveryis a charity dedicated to brightening the days of hospitalised and seriously ill children and their families. These children and young people tend to be admitted to hospitals, hospices, CAMHS units or being cared for at home. We provide a range of services, from the distribution of positive handmade cards, bravery packages and activity packs.

Katie Callaghan founded Cards for Bravery at 13 years old in 2015 after her best friend gave her a card that brightened her day. This sparkedthe idea to create handmade cards for the other patients in her ward.

Beginning with distribution in one hospital, Cards for Bravery has since grown to working with over 35 hospitals,CAMHS Units and hospices to deliver a range of services to children across the UK. Since our founding, we have provided our services to over 45,000 children and young people.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Cards for Bravery is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in everything we do. We value the differences that a diverse workforce brings, and we are committed to creating an environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of who they are.
