Meeting our Business Partners: Making a Difference Cards
'Woodland' greeting card

Mark Müller

Director of Making a Difference Cards

Making a Difference Cards launched with the idea of shaking up the charity greeting card market. Our mission was to be more transparent, sustainable, and as eco-friendly as possible. Plus, we wanted to level the playing field, so charities of all sizes could benefit from our free personalised card service.

We do this by putting the power into customers' hands. They can pick from over 5000 card designs and decide how much they want to donate with each card or pack of cards. Customers call the shots and support causes close to their hearts, on their terms, often donating instead of giving a gift. Species of wildlife found in Sussex that we offer in our designs include Foxes, Rabbits, Badgers, Deer, Hedgehogs, as well as many birds.

Mindful about reducing our environmental impact; our physical cards are printed only on-demand using an FSC-certified board, promoting sustainable forestry and using eco-friendly printing processes. And we ditched laminate and glitter, so our cards are recyclable. Plus, our unique 3D E-card option, gives customers the choice to mix and match delivery options.

By standing up for accessibility, sustainability, and donor empowerment, we're creating a better way to buy charity cards. Making a Difference Cards isn't just about selling cards; it's about reshaping how we give back to our communities collectively.

Being based in Sussex, the fact that customers have chosen to regularly support Sussex Wildlife Trust and the work they undertake means so much to us. It's great to know that our platform has played a small part in providing meaningful support! 

How it works: you can buy your personalised Charity Greeting Cards and Charity ECards in support of Sussex Wildlife Trust, up to a year in advance. With a minimum donation of £1 going to Sussex Wildlife Trust - your cards really make a difference. Find out more here
