Whistlefish are animal lovers and always look to support animal charities where we can. Over the years we have helped support animal charities such as Battersea Dogs & Cats Home through the sales of a Whistlefish Christmas card collection that featured man’s best friend.

This year Whistlefish’s chosen charities to support through Christmas Card sales in 2022 will go to The Prince’s Trust and the Clydesdale Horse Society. 

Whistlefish have also donated thousands of Christmas cards to local charities Prickles and Paws Hedgehog Rescue and Cornwall Wildlife Trust, to help with their fundraising efforts where the charities will keep 100% of the profits.

When you purchase any Christmas card from Whistlefish a percentage of this sale goes towards our chosen charities therefore all Whistlefish Christmas cards we sell are charity Christmas cards. We hope to raise approximately £10,000 from the sales from our Christmas Cards this year to donate to The Prince’s Trust and The Clydesdale Horse Society.
