About us
Who we are
Cards for Bravery is a charity dedicated to brightening the days of hospitalised and seriously ill children and their families. These children and young people tend to be admitted to hospitals, hospices, CAMHS units or being cared for at home. We provide a range of services, from the distribution of positive handmade cards, bravery packages and activity packs.
Katie Callaghan founded Cards for Bravery at 13 years old in 2015 after her best friend gave her a card that brightened her day. This sparked the idea to create handmade cards for the other patients in her ward.
Beginning with distribution in one hospital, Cards for Bravery has since grown to working with over 35 hospitals,CAMHS Units and hospices to deliver a range of services to children across the UK. Since our founding, we have provided our services to over 45,000 children and young people.
