Pop-up shop will be selling Christmas cards

THE festive season is coming early to Burton this year as a new charity Christmas card shop opens for four days this month.

The pop-up shop is part of a network of more than 300 temporary shops managed by Cards for Good Causes, the largest charity Christmas card organisation in the UK. It will be staffed by local volunteers.

The shop will be based at St Modwen’s Church, in the Market Place, and will mean customers can choose from hundreds of different Christmas card designs, as well as Advent calendars and candles, wrapping paper, gift tags, napkins and stocking fillers designed for the Christmas period.

Sue Berridge, area manager for Cards for Good Causes, said: “Buying charity Christmas cards is one of the simplest ways to support good causes this festive season and we stock one of the widest ranges of Christmas cards anywhere.

“The proceeds from every card or product sold make a vital contribution to the work of the charities that we partner.

“Come and find us in St Modwen’s in the Market Place and get ahead in your Christmas preparations by getting your cards early.”

The shop will be open from tomorrow until this Saturday from 10am to 2pm from.
