We know just how busy Kate and her team work at Love Kate’s HQ. If we can’t find them grafting away in their unit, we often find them being talked about in the news! 10 years have passed since Kate stepped foot in to the industry, and she seems to have made a great impression. We have decided to group together some of the articles that have been written about Love Kate’s, as a celebration of the wonderful things they have achieved along their journey so far.
Pop-Up cards and Post pals
Post pals are a small charity aimed at children aged 3 to 17 in the UK. The charity is run solely by volunteers who are dedicated to making seriously ill children and their siblings smile by the sending of cards, letters, gifts, support and friendship. Kate and her husband Chris were immediately touched by this charity, as Chris’s grandson unfortunately has a life limiting condition himself. Kate really resonated with the heart-warming cause and decided to get involved straight away. Kate decided to donate 50 pop-up cards to Post Pals. Published by a supplier called Second Nature, the cards literally burst open when you release them from the envelope. Kate knew they would make the children smile as the pop-ups remain to be one of her most popular ranges. After learning more about some of the poorly children through the post pals website, Kate handpicked a variety of pop-up cards that best suited the cause. Kate enjoyed helping post pals so much that she has kindly offered her continued support to the charity, which has been hugely appreciated by the team of volunteers. Furthermore, Kate has honoured a unique discount code to support volunteers to send post to the inspirational children. The code POSTPALS entitles supports of post pals 10% discount off their order along with free UK delivery at Love Kate’s. You can read more about Love Kate's and Post pals here.
