A Macclesfield illustrator has launched his 2026 charity Christmas card.

Since 2020, Adam Schofield, who trades as Adam Francis Illustrator, has illustrated and sold Macclesfield-themed Christmas cards, donating a percentage of the profit to local charities/community groups.

This year, Adam is donating 25% of his Christmas card profits to the St Paul's Church Saturday Cafe.

He said: "I'm delighted to be able to support the team at St Paul's Church with their 'Saturday Café' this year.

"They do so much for their local community and those throughout the wider Macclesfield area"

Churchwarden Matt added: "St Paul's Church 'Saturday Cafe' is a weekly volunteer project, bringing together the local community to a place where they can enjoy a warm welcome, company, connection, belonging, and a hearty full English breakfast for free!

"The Saturday Cafe is open to everyone and we look forward to welcoming you."

"This will be my 7th year producing Christmas Cards and I can't see it stopping, they've proved to be really popular with my customers, who also appreciate that they're supporting a local charity and a small local business with their purchase," Adam said.

"I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everybody who has bought cards from me in the past and I hope that you all love the new design"

The cards are sold in packs of five, one design per pack, and cost just £5.95.

They can be purchased on Adam's website and at the Visitor Information Centre located inside Macclesfield Library.
