Billericay Cards for Good Causes   

A multi-charity Christmas card shop selling Christmas cards from more than 25 national and local charities will be opening on Wednesday 24 October at the Billericay Library.
Billericay 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 for their Christmas card sales. Because Cards for Good Causes keeps its operating costs to an absolute minimum, charities received 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 applicable VAT.
The shop, staffed by local volunteers, is open Mondays to Saturdays from 10am to 4pm and 10am to 1pm on Thursdays.
