Child posting a Christmas card in mailbox

Yarra Plenty Regional Library will once again be running the Cards of Kindness project with local artist and mental health advocate Heidi Everett.

This November and December we encourage you to anonymously write a greeting card for a person in the psychiatric unit at the Austin Hospital.

Dropping off your cards

Please drop your card in the special postbox at any branch of Yarra Plenty Regional Library from 11 November to 15 December. It will be delivered to the hospital and local aged care facilities by volunteers.

Workshops

If you would like to make a card but don’t know where to get started, we will be running 2 facilitated workshops.
