Every Pack Counts: £2,888 Donated to Local Charities Thanks to You

At Ace Places, we believe that small things – like a deck of cards – can make a big difference. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to share that, thanks to your support, we’ve now donated £2,888 to two brilliant local charities through sales of our Henley and Marlow Playing Cards. 🎉

This isn’t just about playing cards – it’s about giving back to the places they represent.

Latest Donations

We’ve just made our most recent donations, and here’s what that looks like:

🟡 £625.25 has gone to The Kenton Theatre in Henley – bringing our total donation to them to £839.25 since the Henley Playing Cards first launched. The Kenton is one of the UK’s oldest working theatres and an essential part of Henley’s cultural life. Every pack sold helps keep its historic doors open.

🔵 £410.75 has gone to Longridge Activity Centre in Marlow – taking the total donated there to £1,446.75. Longridge provides life-changing outdoor experiences for young people and community groups, right on the banks of the Thames.

Every pack of cards we sell includes a 25p donation to a nominated charity in that town. That includes sales through our website and through our lovely local stockists. It’s a simple model that ensures each town’s success is shared with the community.

Small Business, Big Heart

We might be a small business, but we’ve got big ambitions when it comes to celebrating local life and supporting local causes. Whether you’ve bought a pack, stocked it in your shop, or gifted it to someone visiting your town – you’ve played a part in this total.

This is your impact. 🧡

What’s Next?

As we grow and launch more packs in more places, each one will have its own local charity partner – meaning this total is just the beginning.

From the bottom of our hearts (and packs) – thank you.

Let’s keep dealing joy, giving back, and celebrating what makes each place so special.
