Cartamundi to raise funds for NHS with NHS Heroes playing cards

Cartamundi UK is launching NHS Heroes Playing Cards to raise funds for the NHS heroes working on the frontline in the nation’s battle against COVID-19.

The NHS Heroes deck features doctors, nurses and surgeons in place of traditional Kings, Queens and Jacks, as well as the rainbow colours which have become synonymous with the pandemic.

The cards can be purchased from the project’s Crowdfunder page with all proceeds from the campaign will go to the charity.

“We’re desperate to do our bit in supporting the nation’s effort to battle this pandemic,” said Daniel King, Cartamundi UK General Manager.

“That’s why we’ve created these very special NHS Heroes Playing Cards, our way of saying thank you to all the NHS staff and care workers working tirelessly in this battle.

“Our goal is to raise over £10,000 for NHS Charities Together and the amazing work they do. And we hope these cards will support them now during this crisis and into the future as we move forward to brighter days. ‘Cartamundi’ is Latin for ‘cards for the world’. Well, now we have cards for the nation, as we push through this together, staying home, protecting the NHS and saving lives.”
