Dear compassionate friends and creative souls
Roses are red, violets are blue,
Let’s spread some love, just me and you.
With cards from the heart, so bright and so kind,
We’ll lift every spirit and brighten each mind.
All cultures united, our hands we extend,
In this journey of love that has no end.
In this season of love, we’re reaching out with open hearts and a special invitation. Are you ready to sprinkle a little magic into someone’s life this Valentine’s month? Greendale House Palliative & Hospice Care is launching our most heartwarming initiative yet – The Valentine’s Card Challenge! Our Slice of Love Giveaway.
Why This Matters So Much
At Greendale House, we witness daily the incredible power of human connection. Our patients, each on their unique journey, and our devoted Greendale House Angels (our amazing staff!) could use an extra dose of love and appreciation. Your handmade cards aren’t just paper and ink – they’re beacons of hope, reminders of love, and bridges connecting hearts. Every card you create has the power to light up a room, bring a tear of joy, and remind someone they’re cherished.
How You Can Spread the Love
Let your creativity blossom! Craft a unique, handmade Valentine’s card that will light up the rooms and spirits of our patients and staff. Your personal touch will remind our Greendale House family that they’re cherished and never alone in this journey.
Embrace diversity in your design – our Greendale House family comes from all walks of life, so please avoid religious messages to ensure everyone feels included.
Focus on the joy of now. For our patients living with life-limiting conditions, it’s about cherishing each moment. Please avoid “get well” or “get better” messages. Instead, celebrate the present and the beauty of today.
Send us your masterpiece on our social media and tag us using the #GreendaleHouseValentines or bring it to our shops/offices. Let’s start a wave of love that everyone can see!
A Sweet Surprise
While the true reward is the warmth you’ll bring to someone’s heart, we have a little something extra! One lucky card maker will win a delicious cake from our wonderful sponsor. But remember, every card is a winner in our eyes – and in the eyes of those who’ll receive them.
Mark Your Calendars
Your heartfelt creations are welcome until 28 February 2025. That’s plenty of time to pour your love into every fold, every colour, every word.

A Ripple of Kindness
It’s not just about Valentine’s Day; it’s about human connection, about saying “You matter” in the most beautiful way possible.
So, dear friends, let’s come together in this labour of love. Grab your crafting supplies, and let’s fill Greendale House with an avalanche of colourful, heartfelt Valentine’s wishes. Every card is a hug, every message a beacon of light.
Together, let’s make this month of love truly unforgettable for our Greendale House family. Your kindness has the power to transform lives, one card at a time.
