Cards for Good Causes, the charity Christmas card retailer, is opening its doors again in England on Wednesday 2nd December as the lockdown comes to an end. It has been a very tough time for the not-for-profit organisation with November being a peak trading month for raising vital funds for charity. They hope the local community will support them during December and they can recoup some of the lost £1million revenue that would have benefited so many charities this year.

The not-for-profit organisation has over 150 temporary shops around the UK, selling a huge selection of charity Christmas cards and seasonal gifts with 100% of its proceeds given back to charity - that’s at least 70p in the £1 which is significantly higher than most other retailers. In the last 10 years alone, Cards for Good Causes has raised an incredible £40million for charity. It represents more than 250 charities including Cancer Research UK, Barnardo’s, Alzheimer’s Society and RNLI as well as a number of local charities.

Shoppers will be able to choose from hundreds of different Christmas card designs, as well as gifts, stocking fillers, wrapping paper and gift tags. There is also a socially distanced one-way system in the shops so customers can walk around safely and browse. 

Jeremy Lune, CEO at Cards for Good Causes says: “It has been an incredibly difficult time but we are so grateful to have our local community behind us and can’t wait to welcome everyone back on the 2nd December. We hope to try and raise as much money as possible in the remaining weeks after the devastating loss in November so that our charities can get the vital funding they so desperately need this year. With so many Charity cards and gifts to choose from, we hope customers will feel that they are getting a little of that Christmas Market feel whilst also raising money for charity at the same time."
