Chesterfield illustrator's mental health awareness card tells people 'they matter in this world'
A Chesterfield illustrator has created a card to let people know ‘they matter in this world’.
Samuel Hague’s creation – which includes a picture of a heart hugging Planet Earth with the words ‘you make the world a better place’ – will also raise money for the mental health charity Mind.
Samuel said: “The whole idea of the card is to give it to a friend or family member who you know is struggling, and to hopefully put a smile on their face and let them know they matter in this world.
“100 per cent of the profit will go to the charity Mind.
“If you don’t want a card please just head to www.mind.org.ukdonate and donate generously.
“I know talking about this is easier said than done but if you’re ever having suicidal thoughts or if you’re having a tough time, please reach out to people. Or you can call the Samaritans any time, day or night – 116 123.”

Samuel previously hit the headlines for creating a controversial Valentine’s Day card about Caroline Flack, the former Love Island host who took her own life last Saturday – weeks before she was due to go on trial accused of assaulting her partner Lewis Burton.
Samuel said: “I can only apologise for any contribution I may have inadvertently made to last weekend’s tragic events.
“The amount of guilt I feel is indescribable.
“This has definitely been a massive learning curve.”
