As the festive season approaches, why not make your Christmas shopping count for more this year? Cards For Good Causes will once again be on sale at Ilkley Visitor Information Centre for 2024, offering you the chance to support both charities and your local community with every purchase you make.
The charity welcomes you to pop into Ilkley Visitor Information Centre at Ilkley Library to browse a wonderful selection of Christmas cards supporting a wide range of UK charities.
Every purchase supports both national charities and your local community. Over the last decade, Cards For Good Causes has raised more than £22.5 million for a network of over 100 charities, including Alzheimer’s Society, Cancer Research, NSPCC, Shelter and Carers UK.
Ilkley Visitor Information Centre stocks a range of local gifts and books, including Yorkshire and Ilkley branded items which make great Christmas presents. You also can purchase the Ilkley Gift Card from the centre, which can be spent in outlets across the town, a great way to shop local. Or why not treat yourself with tickets for an upcoming show at the Kings Hall, Ilkley, St George’s Hall or Alhambra Theatre, Bradford.
Councillor Sarah Ferriby, Bradford Council’s Executive Member for Healthy People and Places, said:
“Our Visitor Information Centre in Ilkley always has a great range of gift items that make excellent Christmas presents and stocking fillers. These Christmas cards are really popular, so whether you choose your cards for the charity they support or their design, there is something for everyone. Make sure you pick up your favourites before they sell out.”
As the UK's largest multi-charity Christmas card organisation, Cards For Good Causes has opened shops around the UK each year since 1959, making it a cornerstone of festive charitable giving. This year, your support is needed more than ever. As you deck the halls and fill your stockings, keep in mind that every card or gift you choose helps fund vital charities and support local communities. Together, we can make a lasting impact this Christmas.
Christine Ansell, CEO of Cards For Good Causes says:
“In these times when every penny counts, we’re delighted to offer shoppers in Ilkley a unique opportunity to support charities that are changing lives while also strengthening their 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.”
