I'm not convinced that Postcards are that big an opportunity, unlike Xmas
cards there isn't a tradition of buying charity ones. I'm sure we could do
an awesome pack of seasonal greetings cards and there is a well developed

We've almost certainly missed the boat for this year, and both should stay
firmly on the drawing board until we have registered charity status. Once we
are a registered charity then many things will become much easier, but until
then we risk potential partners saying registered charities only. I
Charity Christmas cards and calendars are ordered in about March for sale in
