The story behind our card<\/h3>

Merry Christmas<\/h2>\n
\n

Instead, we\u2019re donating the money we\u2019d spend on cards and postage to our friends at Roald Dahl\u2019s Marvellous Children\u2019s Charity.<\/a>\u00a0The charity\u2019s work is quite something:\u00a0its network of over 82 Roald Dahl Nurse Specialists are a vital lifeline to over 24,000 seriously ill children and young people across the UK.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been working with Roald Dahl\u2019s Marvellous Children\u2019s Charity for a year now. Find out more about what we\u2019re trying to do – and what the charity does –\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The seasonal scene you see above is no ordinary illustration. Taken from our archives, many years ago this was the design of an old fashioned printed card that was sent to our nearest and dearest. The design itself was based on an idea that a young boy called Simon shared with his dad\u2026the same Simon who now owns and runs Anglepoise\u2026Ideas, eh – sometimes they just keep on working, year after year, decade after decade\u2026<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
