 If your child enjoys a more hectic social life than most adults you know attending birthday parties every week, why not to give a donation to GOAL instead of buying a birthday card?
A child can now get a sticker along with their present, letting them know that a donation was made to GOAL on their behalf.
The stickers are £2 and currently available through GOAL on +44 (0) 20 7631 3196. Or order by emailing Tamara @ tgervasoni@goal-uk.org
Where did this novel idea come from?
The donation sticker is the novel idea by Wicklow mum Tara Cassidy. As a mother of two children, Tara spends her time ferrying them around to parties, spending money on both a present and a card, which is usually thrown away after a few days.
“My children go to so many parties every year and it seemed a waste to spend lots of money on an expensive birthday card that ends up in the bin, when GOAL can put that money to good use helping the poorest of the poor,” said Tara.
Reggie Corrigan has also lent his support to the campaign, saying: “I'm delighted to support this initiative. It's a great idea and will raise much-needed funds for GOAL. It will also raise awareness among children that not everyone has as much as them.”
