Low card cash for charities
AS little as six per cent of the price of some charity Christmas cards goes to the good cause in question, research revealed today.
On average, charities earn 13 per cent of the cost of cards sold by High Street retailers, a survey for Which? found.
Next and House of Fraser donate the smallest percentage from some of their packs (six per cent), although both shops also sell cards that give more.
Top is WH Smith, which gives 100 per cent of the price of one set of cards to Children in Need.
Charities earn an estimated 50 million a year from card sales.
