WITH the festive season approaching fast, the Midlands Charity Association has once again opened up its annual Christmas card shop in Malvern.
As in previous years, the shop is at Hatherton Lodge, the headquarters of Malvern-based charity Arcos in Avenue Road.
The Christmas cards on sale will raise money for 22 charities, both local and national.
Joan Gibson, the shop manager, said: "Last year the shop achieved over £13,000 sales for the charities."
The shop is open on Mondays to Fridays, 10am to 4pm, and on Saturdays from 10am to 1pm, until Monday, December 19.
