VOLUNTEERS are needed to help boost charity coffers at a Christmas card shop to be held in Redditch library.

The national Cards for Good Causes (CFGC) scheme will hold its shop in the library from October 22-December 18 but more people are needed to give up some time to make it a success.

Last year, the appeal raised £4.9 million throughout the UK for charities such as the British Heart Foundation, the NSPCC, Cancer Research and Barnardos.

The shop will be on the first floor of the library from Monday-Saturday, 10am-4pm and until 6.30pm during late-night opening on Thursdays.

For more details, call CFGC's area organiser, Ann Vale, on 541787 or shop manager Wendy Close on 543307.
