SAVE the Children and 17 other charities will be setting up a Christmas card shop in Redditch Library from Friday until December 14.

Charities involved include the RNLI, Diabetes UK, the Red Cross and St Giles Hospice.

There will be a wide selection of high quality, competitively priced cards on offer with profits going to the individual charities.

The shop helped to raise £7,000 for these good causes last year.

Assistance is required to staff the shop so the charities are looking for volunteers who can offer a few hours to help out.

Anyone interested in volunteering can call Save the Children area manager Chris Lane on 01562 751300 or email c.lane@scfuk.org.uk.
