You can do your bit for charity this Christmas when the Cards for Good Causes multi-charity shop opens on Tuesday 29th October in Brentwood Library.

The shop, representing more than 25 charities, is staffed by local volunteers and will be open every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday between 10am-4pm, Wednesday 9.30am-12.30pm and Friday 10.30am-4pm until December 14.

Brentwood Charity Christmas Card Shop is one of a national network of more than 270 outlets operated by Cards for Good Causes Limited, the trading company of registered charity, The 1959 Group of Charities.

Card sales last year raised over £4.5 million for the participating charities, which represented at least 81p from every pound spent.
