Charity cards on sale
CHRISTMAS cards are being sold at a church for a range of charities.
The Cards for Good Causes Shop at St Mary’s Church, Hinckley, also sells advent calendars, wrapping paper, gift tags and decorations, as well as gifts and toys.
At least 70p in every £1 from the card sales goes to charities including Cancer Research UK, Barnardo’s, British Heart Foundation, Alzheimer’s Society and RNLI.
A click and collect service has been launched at selected Cards for Good Causes shops, including Hinckley.
The shop will be open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 10am to noon until December 2, then hopefully fully once lockdown is over.
Manager Kerrie Dickins said: “Everyone wants to be telling loved ones they are thinking of them.
“During the Christmas period, cards will be even more important.”
Lyn O’Toole, area manager, Cards for Good Causes, said: “Thanks to all our keen volunteers we are able to run our pop-up shop again this year.
“We are looking forward to welcoming our loyal customers.”
