Supporting charities at your local library

There’s a new way for local residents to pick up cards, gifts, and thoughtful items while giving back at the same time.

We are delighted to now have a range of cards, gifts and gift wrap available at Blackheath Library, as well as installations in libraries across Greenwich, bringing charity-focused shopping right into the heart of the community.

A new way to support charities in Greenwich libraries

Alongside the shop at Blackheath Library, Cards for Good Causes card spinners have been installed in several libraries across Greenwich.

This means wherever you are in the borough, you can:

  • Pick up a card for any occasion
  • Support national and local charities
  • Contribute to your local library at the same time

It’s a simple idea with a powerful impact, turning everyday purchases into positive contributions.

How your purchase gives back

Cards for Good Causes is a not-for-profit retailer with a clear mission: to turn everyday shopping into meaningful support for charities.

  • 100% of profits are donated to charity partners
  • Participating libraries also benefit directly from sales
  • Customers can shop with confidence knowing their purchase has real impact

By bringing this initiative into libraries, it creates an accessible and welcoming space for people to shop with purpose.

Supporting your community, one card at a time

Libraries are vital community hubs, and this initiative helps support their ongoing role while also raising funds for important causes.

By choosing to buy a card or gift locally, you’re not just marking a special occasion, you’re helping sustain both charities and community spaces across Greenwich.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to:

  • Visit Blackheath Library to browse the full range of cards and gifts
  • Look out for Cards for Good Causes spinners in libraries across Greenwich

It’s never been easier to shop locally, support charities, and give back to your community all at once.
