Spread a little JOY this Christmas

Sep 18, 2026Fundraising, General

Graphic inviting Young Carers to get creative, with colourful pink, blue and purple shapes and a megaphone illustration.

This year, we’re challenging our Young Carers to get creative and design our Action for Family Carers Christmas ecards.

The only criteria?

Spark JOY.

Young Carers can create their Christmas card design in any style or medium they choose – from drawing and painting to collage or digital design.

Three winning designs will be chosen and turned into official AfFC ecards to share this Christmas.

Send an ecard. Support a local cause.

Ecards are a simple, more eco-conscious way for individuals and businesses to send their festive greetings while supporting Action for Family Carers and the carers we support across Essex.

Our ecards aren’t just for Christmas either. You can browse our full range of ecards on Don’t Send Me A Card and find a card for birthdays, thank yous, celebrations and more.

If you’re a business, school, community group or organisation and would like us to create a bespoke ecard for you, we’d love to hear from you.
