The Community Shop
Have a Clear-Out? We’d Love Your Donations!
If you’re having a sort-out at home, why not donate your unwanted items to our Community Shop? We’re happy to accept a wide range of items in good, saleable condition, including electrical goods, which we can arrange to have PAT tested. Every donation helps support The Arches and the vital services we provide.
About Our Community Shop
Opened by Kirsty Williams AM in June 2014, our Community Shop plays a key role in funding The Arches. It offers a wide selection of good quality vintage and second-hand items, including:
-
Clothing: Stylish pre-loved clothes for all ages and occasions.
-
Seasonal Items: Halloween costumes, Christmas decorations, and more.
-
Children’s Corner: A treasure trove of nearly-new children’s and baby clothes (newborn to age 14), toys, books, and nursery equipment.
-
Media & Games: Books, DVDs, videos, board games, and learning materials.
-
Household Items: From homeware to practical essentials.

Our shop is run by a dedicated team of volunteers, supported by The Arches staff. We’re always on the lookout for more helpers! Whether you’re interested in working in the shop, sorting and preparing donated goods, or helping with tasks like washing and ironing, we’d love to hear from you.
