A festive pop-up shop selling cards and gifts is set to open in Sudbury ahead of the Christmas shopping rush. 

Cards For Good Causes is set to return to the town this autumn offering residents the chance to support charities and their local community with each purchase. 

The pop up shop will open at Sudbury Library on Market Hill from October 14 and will stock greeting cards, advent calendars, gift wrap, decorations, stationery and homewares, as well as a wider range of gifts than ever before.

Each purchase supports national and local charities with Cards For Good Causes raising over £22.5 million for a network of over 100 charities, including NSPCC, RSPCA, WaterAid, Shelter, Carers UK and The Ramblers, in the last decade.

They have also contributed more than £2.7 million to local churches, libraries and community projects.

Christine Ansell, CEO of Cards For Good Causes said: "In these times when every penny counts, we’re delighted to offer shoppers in Sudbury a unique opportunity to support charities that are changing lives while also strengthening local communities.

"Thanks to our committed partners, seasonal staff and local volunteers, we’re returning to the hearts of neighbourhoods across the country, providing a meaningful way for people to give this Christmas."

Cards For Good Causes has opened shops around the UK each year since 1959. 

Organisers say this year residents' support is "needed more than ever" to help fund vital charities and support communities.

The full Cards For Good Causes range can also be purchased online with same-day dispatch and free shipping on orders over £40. 

Previous Cards For Good Causes pop ups have taken place in Sudbury and Ipswich.
