HAM
A playful print with a charitable cause…
Founded by illustrator and mama Jo Ham, HAM is a British design brand that captures the everyday adventures of a character called Rabbit on homewares and paper goods. The brand has launched a special limited edition print this autumn in aid of the
Rainbow Trust. The handmade eight layer screen print features
Rabbit creating a bold rainbow mural whilst covered head-to-toe in paint splodges. 40% of every print sale will go to direct to The Rainbow
Trust, a charity which supports the families of seriously ill children.
Jo Ham says “Being a mum to a young family, I can’t begin to imagine how tough it would be if one of my children became seriously ill. Juggling care, work, medical provision, protecting normality for siblings, school and more, would be so much to deal with, not to mention processing the worry for your child.
So when I learned about Rainbow
Trust, and the amazing work they do to support families going through incredibly emotionally and physically challenging times, I knew
I wanted to help raise funds and awareness about this vital cause.”
A fun addition to any nursery space, we couldn’t think of a better cause to support.
