Proper Pubs Launches Christmas Card Campaign to Support Isolated Residents

Participation runs through in-pub recipient lists, with staff delivering cards on the sender's behalf.

Overview

  • The drive runs from Saturday 22 November to Saturday 20 December across dozens of venues, including sites in Yorkshire and Humber, Bolton and Atherton, and the West Midlands.
  • Writers can address hospital patients, care-home residents or community-group members selected from pub-provided lists.
  • Customers may prepay a drink for the recipient by attaching the bar receipt to the card for later redemption.
  • All cards will be dispatched on 20 December, and participating pubs are also collecting selection boxes for families in need.
  • Organisers point to more than 6,000 cards sent last year and nearly 50,000 donated selection boxes or advent calendars over three years as benchmarks they aim to exceed in 2025.
