This is a little piece to highlight this year’s postcard auction to raise money for Royal Marsden Hospital to honour the memory of Sophie Taylor who was cared for by The Royal Marsden but lost her life to cancer in April 2017. So far Sophie’s Postcards has raised £82k.
Sophie’s Postcard is a secret auction consisting of original postcard sized artworks made and donated by professional artists, designers and illustrators, plus up and coming artists & the general public. All money raised goes directly to the charity and the project is entirely run by volunteers who are staff and friends of St Richard’s Catholic College.
