Q1: |
If I buy a packet of cards from a specific charity, does the money go back to that charity/trading subsidiary? |
A: |
Yes less a deduction to cover the costs of running the temporary Christmas card shops. Cards for Good Causes (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. In addition to these costs, the participants have to pay for the production and distribution of their cards. |
Q2: |
Where does the money from the sale of CFGC’s own range of Christmas Goods go? |
A: |
The profit from the sale of the Christmas Goods (advent calendars, wrapping paper, napkins etc) which are purchased by CFGC, helps meet some of the costs of running the temporary charity Christmas card shops. |
Q3: |
Are credit cards accepted
in your shops? |
A: |
Because of technical difficulties only a limited number of shops are able to accept credit cards; this includes some of our shops in Tourist Information Centres.
|
Q4: |
How can I find my
nearest shop? |
A: |

Q5: |
Do all shops have
the same charities? |
A: |
With a few exceptions, cards for all 25 member charities and 3 national guest charities are sold in the majority of our shops. Depending on the space available shops will also sell cards from other guest charities, varying from large national charities to small local ones. |
