Childlife, the payroll giving fundraising consortium of four children’s charities,
is selling Christmas cards and gift-wrap to increase income for its member organisations.

The consortium has a choice of four Christmas card designs, as well as a pack of
gift-wrap and tags.

Childlife was launched in 1993, originally to administer payroll giving donations
for the four charities of National Children’s Bureau, The National Deaf Children’s
Society, Acorns Children’s Hospice and Ataxia UK. So far it has raised over £2,225,000
through payroll giving or direct debits.

Purchases can be made online or via the phone.
