Charity Partnerships
The British Heart Foundation
In December 2019, the British Heart Foundation teamed up with 2050cards to create a charity Christmas card.[3] The card was available for individual purchase via the 2050cards website with all of the funds raised going to support the BHF.
Great Ormond Street Hospital
In September 2020, Great Ormond Street Hospital worked with 2050cards on the Hugs For GOSH Campaign.[4]. The virtual card was created by stop-motion artist Isabel Garrett and featured two sloths made from felt dangling from a branch and slowly hugging one another. The card was promoted by Great Ormond Street Hospital and 2050cards to raise money and awareness for Great Ormond Street Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
