The organisation relies on around 6,000 volunteers to manage and run the seasonal shops.

Pauline Jenkins, Area Organiser for Cards for Good Causes, said:

“It would be a real shame not to open in Chepstow library this season as it’s such a popular shop with local residents.

“However, we desperately need someone to step in as temporary shop manager.

“I would urge anyone in or around Chepstow with a passion for retail, Christmas and doing good for great causes, to contact me as soon as possible.”

The shop is due to open in the Chepstow Library on Wednesday, 25th October with set up on Tuesday, 24th October.
