THREE Little Pigs in Pershore has announced the charities it is supporting this year with the sales of packs of Christmas cards.

The charities it has chosen to support this year are Marie Curie Cancer Care, Oxfam and Samaritans.

The shop also has cards supporting Pershore Talking Newspaper and Pershore’s Number 8 Community Arts Centre.

Fiona Abbott, who owns the shop, said: "Customers understandably expect packs of Christmas cards to be sold in support of a charity. This is equally important to us too. Charities carry out such incredible work and they often rely solely on charitable donations.

"As always, all our individual Christmas cards are made by our lovely local artisans. This is really important to us as it underlines what our business is about; supporting our talented craftspeople."

All cards are available at Three Little Pigs or online at threelittlepigs.eu.
