After making a minimum donation of £2 via BT MyDonate, the not-for-profit, online fundraising platform, people will receive an email with a link to download their e-card.

The e-card can then be shared with family and friends via email or social media.

The designs include a comedy drumming Santa, festive Christmas trees, a beautiful animal snow scene and even a rugby-playing Christmas robin.

They said: “Having a wonderful childhood is so important but unfortunately not everyone gets this.

“We’ve been lucky enough to help the NSPCC raise more money this Christmas through the BT MyDonate Christmas card campaign.”

John Petter, chief executive of BT Consumer said: “We are so pleased that celebrities have given up their time and pulled out all the creative stops to get people donating to some really worthy causes this Christmas.

“These e-cards mean that people know they have given some money to those who need it most this Christmas.

We hope people will have fun choosing their favourite celebrity MyDonate Christmas card design and sharing it with friends and family.”

The trend of donating to charity instead of sending Christmas cards is growing in popularity, and ensures customers’ money goes to a good cause.
