Art On A Postcard

Not-for-profit. Buy original works of art from the world's leading artists. 100% of proceeds to The Hepatitis C Trust.

Art on a Postcard raises money for The Hepatitis C Trust through an annual secret postcard auction and ‘postcard lotteries’ which occur throughout the year. In 2017 we will introduce Photography on a Postcard and Art on a Ukulele to our fundraising activities.

We have had postcard sized artwork donated from well established artists such as Sir Peter Blake, Damien Hirst, Harland Miller, Gavin Turk, Rachel Howard, Gilbert and George, Polly Morgan, John Wragg RA, Stephen Chambers RA, Michael Craig-Martin, Chantal Joffe, Cecily Brown, Grayson Perry, Julian Opie and Jeremy Deller.

We believe that Hepatitis C can be eliminated as a major health concern by 2030 and all funds by raised by us support The Hepatitis C in their campaigns to achieve this goal. In 2015 Scotland signed up to our program of elimination. In 2016 The Hepatitis C Trust’s campaigning led to not only Westminster and the World Health Assembly agreeing to a program of elimination.

The Hepatitis C Trust is the national UK charity for hepatitis C. It was founded and is now led and run by people with personal experience of hepatitis C and almost all of our Board, staff and volunteers either have hepatitis C or have had it and cleared it after treatment.

Historically, hepatitis C has been neglected, partly because there has been no concerted patient voice. People with hepatitis C have typically kept quiet because it is infectious and because it has been wrongly stigmatised as ‘a drug users’ disease’.

The Trust is committed to changing this, by:

• Raising public awareness that this is a virus that can be contracted in many ways

• Ending discrimination against people living with hepatitis C

• Creating an active community of patients willing to stand up and be heard

• Providing information, support and representation for people with hepatitis C
