Buy once, give twice this Christmas
A Christmas pop-up shop has opened in Petersfield in support of more than 34 local and national charities.
Cards for Good Causes sell charity Christmas cards from a nationwide network of temporary shops.
The shop is only ever in town in the run-up to Christmas and always in a different place. This year Cards for Good Causes are in Petersfield from October 6 to December 17 and can be found on the High Street opposite Superdrug.
Manager Julia Crook said: “70p out of every pound we make goes straight to charity. The shop provides a one-stop shop for charity sales, we sell all sorts of Christmas gifts and not just cards.”
The shop sells a range of Christmas goods including advent calendars, wrapping paper, gift tags and books.
Cards for Good Causes was founded in 1959 when a group of charities came together and formed ‘The 1959 Group of Charities and started selling cards from empty shops in town centres.
Just a few of the charities the group support include Age UK, Barnardo’s, Macmillan Cancer and Save the Children.
