The season of giving - Derry card company launches Christmas collection in aid of Sands

The Derry-based Ferry Clever card company has launched a beautiful collection of Christmas cards to support the work of the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, Sands.

Sands is a charity that operates throughout the UK to support anyone affected by the death of a baby as well as working to improve the care bereaved parents receive, promoting research and working closely with many different organisations to reduce the loss of babies’ lives.

Ferry Clever took to Instagram to share a touching video to promote the seasonal cards, the proceeds of which will go straight to Sands.

Their Instagram post says: "This Christmas, we remember the little ones who should be here, filling homes with laughter and joy. For families who have faced the unbearable pain of losing a baby, the festive season can be an especially difficult reminder of the love they hold but can no longer give."
