With over 25 local & national charities

Cards for Good Causes – which sells charity cards across the UK every year – opens its Putney pop-up shop on 27th October at St Mary’s Church, by Putney Bridge, offering shoppers the chance to buy Christmas cards from more than 25 national and local charities.

Shop Manager Angela Holman said: “As we’re part of the UK’s largest multi-charity Christmas card organisation, we offer a wide range of designs to choose from and a convenient way to support more than one good cause. We’re sure just one visit to our shop will help you with cards, wrapping paper and gift tags this season, helping to cross a few festive jobs off the list in one go.”

Putney charity Christmas card shop is one of a countrywide network of shops, which open in the run up to the festive season. Cards for Good Causes Limited (CFGC) pays the participating charities (or their trading subsidiaries) at least 75p in every pound from their card sales, less the VAT payable on the amount retained by CFGC. The retained amount covers CFGC’s costs of running the temporary charity Christmas card shops. In addition to these costs, the participants have to pay for the production and distribution of their cards.

The shop, staffed by local volunteers, is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 4.30pm.

Why not also stop for a tea, coffee or other refreshment in the Café whilst shopping.

So look out for the red triangular Santa sign for the best selection of charity Christmas cards and gifts!
