But LilyAnne’s says after a recent spell of strong winds and rain, a lot of the cards have been damaged.

They are appealing for helpers to replace the damaged cards at locations including Summerhill, the marina, Headland, Crimdon, Seaton, local parks, and other public spaces.

The cards also feature hopeful messages from real people plus a text number to be able to talk to someone at any time.

Anyone who wants to help is asked to drop into LilyAnne’s, in Victoria Road, and collect some of the cards.
