Autumn Has Arrived! 🍂🧥

The weather is definitely turning, but we’ve got you covered! Our charity shop is stocked up with cosy autumn essentials—from warm jumpers and sturdy boots to coats, scarves, and autumn homeware.

Pop in this week to grab a bargain and stay warm. Every purchase goes straight back into keeping our local buses running across Brecon and Crickhowell!

Our Brecon Charity Shop is a vital heart of our community, but right now, we urgently need a few extra pairs of hands to keep it running!

Without our wonderful shop volunteers, we simply can't stay open to raise the crucial funds that keep our Brecon & District Dial-a-Ride minibuses on the road.

🌟 Why Your Time Matters
Every hour spent behind the counter or sorting through lovely donations helps fund our door-to-door transport service. You aren't just helping a shop stay open—you are directly helping local neighbours get to medical appointments, reach the supermarket, and stay connected with friends.

💡 What's Involved?
Flexible Hours: Whether you can spare a full day or just a couple of hours a week, every bit helps.

Friendly Tasks: Sorting stock, serving lovely local customers, or dressing our windows.

Great Company: Join a warm, supportive team and make new friends in the heart of town.

No Experience Needed: Full, friendly support is provided from day one!

🤝 Ready to Join the Team?
If you enjoy a friendly chat, sorting through pre-loved treasures, or simply want to give back to Brecon, we would love to welcome you!

How to get in touch:
📍 Pop in: Visit us on the corner of The Struet and Castle Street, Brecon (Tuesday – Saturday, 10am – 4:30pm)
📞 Call us: 01874 624060

Even if you can't volunteer yourself, sharing this post could help us find the hero who can! 💙

Micro-Volunteer Task: The Carrier Bag Drop! ♻️
Got five minutes and a cupboard full of bags? You can be an official Micro-Volunteer for us today without signing a single form!

Our Brecon Charity Shop is currently running low on shopping bags for our customers. Instead of us spending charity funds buying new ones, we’re asking our local community to help us recycle!
Your 5-Minute Mission:
Clear the Cupboard: Gather up any clean, spare carrier bags you have hiding under the sink or in the boot of the car (plastic bags, sturdy Bags for Life, or paper bags—all are welcome!).
Check for Cleanliness: Give them a quick check to make sure they're clean and free of crumbs or spills.
Drop 'Em Off: Pop them into our charity shop next time you're passing through town!
Why This Micro-Task Matters:
Saves Vital Funds: Every penny we save on buying shop supplies goes straight back into our fuel tank to keep our minibuses running for neighbours like Jenny.

Eco-Friendly: Helps our town reuse, recycle, and cut down on waste.

Instant Impact: It takes 2 minutes to drop them off, but it helps our shop run smoothly all week!

📍 Drop-off Location: Corner of Castle Street and The Struet, Brecon

⏰ Shop Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 10:00 am – 4:30 pm

Clear out your clutter and keep our wheels turning! Thank you for supporting your local community transport! 💙✨
