Whilst I appreciate that sending Christmas Cards isn't the most environmentally friendly option available to wish your loved ones Happy Xmas - the sale of Charity Christmas cards is hugely important to many charities - it makes up a massive chunk of their funding. That being said, many 'high street' branches selling Xmas cards only donate around 10% per pack to charity. This is where Cards for Good Causes differs. At least 80p in the £1 is given back to the charities. CFCC is able to do this as many of the shops are staffed by volunteers - like me!! Every year my Mum and I volunteer at our local shop for one session. It's surprisingly good fun - we get to play shop, buy all our cards and do a little bit to help. Over 320 local and national charities have cards available - so you are bound to find something you like! We've been volunteering for about 10 years now and I really look forward to it.
Why not have a look at what they have to offer - you can now also purchase online!! Visit http://www.cardsforcharity.co.uk
