Hope Spring eCards, a Herefordshire based charity, has announced the release of its first batch of charity Christmas eCards for 2025. The organisation made the announcement on Monday, 3rd November, with more than fifty new eCards now available on their website.
The eCards cover a range of categories including religious, nativity, Welsh, and Scottish themes. This annual release of Christmas eCards is a key fundraising opportunity for Hope Spring, as well as other charities. The public and charity supporters are encouraged to choose eCards from their preferred charity platforms, with the proceeds going towards important causes.
Hope Spring has been using its eCard platform to raise funds for clean water and poverty alleviation projects for over four years. While they offer eCards for various occasions throughout the year, Christmas remains their busiest period, with thousands of supporters visiting their website to send festive greetings.
According to Seun Olonade, the platform manager, the charity has significantly expanded its Christmas collection this year. “We usually create a few dozen new Christmas cards each year,” she said. “But this year, we wanted to offer our supporters a wider choice. Our volunteers have been working on new designs since earlier this year, resulting in the addition of around one hundred new eCards to our collection.”
Hope Spring’s creative process often involves input from volunteers, supporters, and partner designers. The new collection includes traditional illustrations as well as modern, animated, and video-based designs. Olonade explained that this mix reflects the changing preferences of eCard users, who now prefer visually engaging and mobile-friendly formats that can easily be shared through email or messaging apps like WhatsApp.
In previous years, animated and video Christmas cards have been among the most popular choices on the Hope Spring platform, closely followed by funny Christmas eCards that can be shared through email or WhatsApp. The charity also has a dedicated section for small businesses looking to send eCards to their staff and customers.
Aside from fundraising, Hope Spring also uses its platform to promote awareness of environmental sustainability. By encouraging the public to choose eCards over paper cards, the charity brings attention to the positive impact of reducing paper waste and carbon emissions during the festive period.
The full range of 2025 Christmas eCards from Hope Spring can be viewed on their website, along with more information about the charity and its work on their social media pages.
