The Combined Charities Christmas Card shop in Waterside closes on Saturday - so shoppers have just a few days to support their favourite charities.
More than 30 charities will have benefited when the doors finally close on Saturday afternoon.
"We were concerned that sales would be affected by the gloomy economic situation," said publicity officer Joy Wolfe, "but our customers have stayed loyal and dug deep to ensure we have had a successful outcome."
She said they returned 100 per cent of the takings to the participating charities.
