The Cards for Good Causes charity Christmas card shop is open at Putney Library

The festive season gets under way in Putney when the Cards for Good Causes charity Christmas card shop opened in Putney Library, Disraeli Road on 25 October.

Buying Christmas cards through Cards for Good Causes is the best way to get access to the widest selection of Christmas cards available, as well as a fantastic range of seasonal gifts and products, while supporting a range of national and local charities.

Staffed by a team of local volunteers, the Putney pop-up shop is part of a network of more than 300 temporary shops run by Cards for Good Causes, the UK’s largest charity Christmas card organisation. It represents more than 250 charities including Cancer Research UK, Barnardo’s, NSPCC, Alzheimer’s Society and RNLI as well as a number of local charities such as Help for Heroes, Royal Hospital for Neurodisability and Wimbledon Museum.

Shoppers will be able to choose from hundreds of different Christmas card designs, as well as traditional advent calendars and candles, wrapping paper, gift tags, napkins and stocking fillers. Created especially for this season, local Christmas card design depicts Putney Embankment towards Putney Bridge painted by local artist Sim Hock Neoh.

Angela Holman, Shop Manager for Cards for Good Causes says: “Buying charity Christmas cards is one of the simplest ways to support good causes this festive season and we stock one of the widest ranges of Christmas cards anywhere. The proceeds from every card or product sold make a vital contribution to the work of the charities that we partner. Come and find us in Putney Library, Disraeli Road and get ahead in your Christmas preparations by getting your cards early.”

This is a particularly significant year for Cards for Good Causes as they mark their 60th birthday. Over the last six decades, charities have received in excess of £100 million from Cards for Good Causes, with the tireless support of thousands of volunteers across the country.
