Cards for Good Causes – the multi-charity Christmas card shop – opened in Abingdon today (Tuesday, October 23), and are celebrating their 30th year.

Comedy writer, and editor, Paul Mayhew-Archer opened the shop at St Nicolas Church in Abingdon. Paul was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and has been working with Parkinson’s UK, whose cards, and those of many other organisations are on sale. Buying the cards helps generate funds for good causes, and raises awareness of their vital work.

The shops will also sell some special cards depicting local scenes by artist Colin Tuffrey, such as: ‘Abingdon from the River’. There will also be a range of Christmas goods including wrapping paper, gift tags, candles, stocking fillers, and traditional Advent calendars.

Look out for the red triangular Santa signs outside for when the shop is open.

The shop is part of a nationwide network of more than 300 pop-up CFGC shops, all staffed by a team of local volunteers.
