A charity shop in Machynlleth recently re-opened after months of work to move the shop to a new home in the Powys town.

When Machynlleth’s Credu shop was hit with a series of floods that left serious damage to the premises, the carers charity shop decided to move to a new home in Machynlleth.

The charity shop re-opened on Saturday, July 27, officially opening at its new premises on Heol Maengwyn, in what workers at the shop have called a “great new opportunity”.

Shop manager Ceri Herbert said: “The new space was opened after months of hard work by the Credu staff and volunteers. The new shop offers visitors a more relaxing and comfortable retail space, with a wider selection of items for the customer to choose from.

“We have suffered some adversities the last 12 months with a massive flood ruin our shop and losing out on so much for many months.”
