Red Hot Offer of the Month - March 2012

2012-03-01T20:08:00.001Z

Printing on one side of your business cards only tells half a story. Just imagine the benefits of being able to put extra details on the reverse, making your card a real selling tool and not just an introduction.

Well, during March, with our offer you can simply order your card single sided and we will print it double sided for the same price.

Example; £99 for 250 cards (usual price £119) including design and UK mainland delivery.

When complete the site will have over 60 pages of information and news as well as lots of innovative fundraising initiatives & events.

2012 will be a landmark year for the charity and the culmination of 10 years of fundraising as building work commences on a £2.3 million purpose-built palliative care hospice to be built in the grounds of Hairmyres Hospital, East Kilbride. This will enable the charity to expand their services and offer specialist in-patient nursing care to the people of Lanarkshire. So the fundraising activities will be cranked up a notch or two to meet estimated annual running costs of £1.3million.

Why not visit the site and make a donation to a really worthwhile cause.
