Ross-on-Wye’s Cards for Good Causes Charity Christmas card shop is celebrating its 10th season this year.
Shoppers from the Ross-on-Wye area can now buy Christmas cards from more than 25 national and local charities in one place. Cards for Good Causes – which sells charity cards across the country – opens its Ross shop on Tuesday, October 31 at the Market House Heritage Centre.
Mayor of Ross-on-Wye, Councillor Phil Cutter, will open it and will be invited to cut the anniversary cake.
Ross-on-Wye charity Christmas card shop is one of a national network of shops. Last year the charities received more than £5 million from Cards for Good Causes from their Christmas card sales. Because Cards for Good Causes keeps its operating costs to an absolute minimum, charities receive at least 81p in every £1 from their card sales out of which they have to pay for the production and distribution of their cards and any VAT.
The shop, staffed by Herefordshire Voluntary Action volunteers, is open from October 31 to December 10 inclusive, Tuesday to Sunday, from 10.30am to 1pm, and 1.30pm to 4pm. Look out for the red triangular Santa signs to point you in the right direction!
