“It has been a very tough season but the support has been incredible and we hope to continue our work in 2021.

“However, we are not just for Christmas anymore and sell everyday cards, birthday cards and occasion cards so please do continue to purchase cards and gifts via our website throughout the year at www.cardsforcharity.org.uk – and let’s keep supporting our charity sector and the fantastic work they are doing.”

Cards for Good Causes, the trading arm of the 1959 Group of Charities, supports more than 250 charities across the UK and 100 per cent of proceeds are given back to local and national charities.
