A CHARITY is on the lookout for volunteers to help run its Christmas card shop.

Cards for Good Causes need people to help run the shop in Braintree Library, on Fairfield Road, in the lead up to Christmas.

The charity operates a network of around 300 pop-up shops across the UK and relies on 6,000 volunteers to run them.

In the past, more than £40million has been raised for charities across the country.

Volunteers can work a morning or an afternoon session when it suits them, and will be selling cards from over 30 different national and local charities.

There will also be wrapping paper, tags, gifts, stocking fillers and advent calendars on sale.

The Braintree shop will open on October 17 and operates from 10am until 4.30pm Monday to Saturday until December 17.

If you are interested in helping, contact Sylvia on 01376 324079.
