Lyn O’Toole, area manager for Cards for Good Causes said: “Buying charity Christmas cards is one of the simplest ways to support good causes this festive season and we stock one of the widest ranges of Christmas cards anywhere.

"The proceeds from every card or product sold make a vital contribution to the work of the charities that we partner. Come and find us in The Court House, Jury Street and get ahead in your Christmas preparations by getting your cards early.”

This is a particularly significant year for Cards for Good Causes as they mark their 60th birthday. Over the last six decades, charities have received in excess of £100 million from Cards for Good Causes.

The Warwick pop-up shop is open Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 4.30pm, Saturdays from 10am to 4.30pm and Sundays from 10am to 4pm.
