A SEASONAL charity card shop celebrated 21 years of fund-raising in Pershore when it opened its doors for another year.
This year, Cards for Good Causes is selling its Christmas cards, wrapping paper, gift tags and bags from C M Ogle in Pershore following an appeal for a new home when its usual spot in the town’s library became unavailable.
The charity shop raises money for both local and national charities through the sale of its seasonal goods.
Sue Allen, shop manager, said they were very grateful to the Ogle family who have donated part of the shop on Church Street. The shop, which is staffed by volunteers, is open Monday to Friday between 10am and 4pm and on Saturday from 10am to 1pm until Wednesday, December 19.
