The Sheffield Shop is one of the oldest for the charity, but has moved to numerous locations over the years, gaining loyal customers.

This year, following a huge re-branding, Cards for Causes are also now focusing on good quality British-made goods.

Sue Berridge, area manager of Cards for Good Causes, said: 'We are looking forward to welcoming shoppers to our temporary home in Chapel Walk this season.

'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.

'We've got gifts, cards, children's stocking fillers, wrapping paper, lots of different things. 

'Everyone should come down, we invite our loyal customers to come and have a look at our new gift ideas, and our new customers to come and see what we have. It's all for a good cause.

'It's like buying once, but giving twice. You are giving to the charities and it puts a smile on your friends and relatives faces.'

In the last 10 years alone, the charity have raised over £40 million for UK charities and are hoping to raise more with the help of volunteers.

You can volunteer for Cards for Good Causes or buy cards online via their website.
