**The corporate Christmas cards sold by the Reuters Foundation have proved so popular
that staff have persuaded them to make them available to the public.**

Each year the Reuters Foundation produces Season’s Greetings cards for use by the
Reuters business, selling over 70,000 cards for corporate use. The profits made 
on these cards, around £30,000, is passed to Reuters Foundation to support its international
humanitarian and educational work.

Reuters staff were keen to use these cards for personal Christmas cards, so they
successfully persuaded the Foundation last year to produce unbranded cards for personal
sales.

this year, and can be bought online by the public.
