Jackson Square Announces Cards for Bravery as 2026 Charity Partner
Jackson Square Shopping Centre is delighted to announce Cards for Bravery as its Charity of the Year partner for 2026, while celebrating an incredible year of partnership with Grove Cottage.
Throughout 2025, the Jackson Square community rallied behind Grove Cottage, supporting their vital work with people with learning disabilities in Bishop’s Stortford. From fundraising events to raising awareness during their landmark London Road rebuild, the partnership made a real impact, with 13 events run throughout the year.
“We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Grove Cottage for an absolutely fantastic year together,” said Hayley Harris, Community Manager at Jackson Square. “Watching the community come together to support their incredible members has been nothing short of inspiring.”
Supporting Brave Young People
Cards for Bravery brings comprehensive support and comfort to children facing medical procedures, hospital stays, and serious illnesses across the UK. Starting with handmade cards filled with messages of hope, the charity has grown to provide activity packs, care packages, and wellbeing resources that support young patients and their families through difficult times, delivering thousands of support resources to hospitals, hospices, and families nationwide.
“We’re absolutely honoured to partner with Cards for Bravery this year,” said Hayley Harris. “Their work touches the lives of children and families during incredibly challenging times. We’re looking forward to rallying the Jackson Square community to create cards, raise funds, and spread hope to brave young people across the country.”
“Being chosen as Charity of the Year by Jackson Square means so much to us,” said Katie Callaghan, Founder of Cards for Bravery. “Partnerships like this help us reach more children and families facing incredibly challenging circumstances, while also strengthening the support we provide within the local community.”
