Christmas Charity Cards for Good Causes
When you walk into Past & Presents at the Old School House you will be greeted with an Aladdin’s cave of distinctive and diverse antique and contemporary gifts, cards and & confectionery…. and from 25th September, a wonderful range of Christmas cards from Cards for Good Causes, representing many different charities such as Cancer Research UK, Care, Mind, NSPCC, RNIB, Help the Aged and many more.
The inspiration for Cards for Good Causes came in 1959 when a group of charities met to discuss the co-ordination of publicity for selling their cards at Christmas to raise much-needed funds. In fact, some of those founder charities still work with them today. In the last five years charities have received over £20 million from their card sales through Cards for Good Causes outlets.
And it’s not just Christmas cards! Past & Presents has included a range of Christmas goods, including advent calendars, Christmas wrapping paper and gift tags from Cards for Good Causes to help raise more money for the Charities.
Mrs Weld, Lulworth Estate says, “we are pleased to support Cards for Good Causes again this year. They are an important non-profit making organisation who offer a good selection of cards for those wishing to help a charity close to their heart. We in turn ensure that all of the income goes straight back to the charity and do not deduct operating costs like some other outlets”.
Past and Presents is a thriving gift shop and Internet Café set in the beautifully restored old Catholic School Building, nestled in the picturesque village of East Lulworth. Inside you will find a fine selection of gifts, artwork, ceramics, kitchen & garden accessories, pottery and much more, many of the items are not for sale in the surrounding area. There is also high-speed broadband internet access, colour printing and word processing programs available together with a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy refreshments and delicious Dorset cream teas in the café.
Open Mon to Sun 10.00am to 4pm.
Parking is free.
