Charity Christmas shops
Between October and Christmas, we open a network of pop up charity Christmas shops in venues around the UK.
Our pop-up shops are either situated in empty retail units as well as local community spaces such as churches, libraries, community centres, museums or tourist information centres.
Our shops sell a large range of charity Christmas cards supporting both local and national charities. Each pack purchased directly supports that charity with no hidden costs to our charities or hosts.
In addition to cards, many of our shops also sell a range of Christmas products including advent calendars, Christmas decorations, wrapping paper, gift bags and gifts.
Many of our shops are hosted by the venues themselves. Our network of host partners play a crucial role. By becoming a host they are:
- Bringing charity Christmas cards and gifts to their local community
- Encouraging customers to shop local
- Raising vital funds for local and national charities
- Providing opportunities for volunteering in the local community
- Raising funds for their organisation through commission, which in turn will benefit the local community. Our shops receive a fee based on their total sales.
In addition to all of this, our hosts also benefit from local advertising and the additional footfall. It’s mutually beneficial!
Could you be a host?
We are always on the lookout for new venues and need to expand our network so that we can continue in our work supporting good causes.
