Bridges Community Shop - Monmouth

🎉 10 Years of the Bridges Community Shop! 🎉

Can you believe it's been 10 years?

This photo was taken on opening day back in June 2016, when the Bridges Community Shop first opened its doors on Monnow Street. Since then, thousands of donations have been given a second life, countless bargains have found new homes, and every purchase has helped support the work of Bridges across Monmouthshire.

What started as a simple idea has become so much more than a shop. It's a place where volunteers gain confidence and skills, where customers know they'll always receive a warm welcome, and where our community comes together to support local people.

Over the past decade, the shop has raised vital funds to help Bridges continue delivering services that tackle loneliness, improve wellbeing and support people across the county.

Following last year's devastating flood, the shop's reopening was a huge milestone for us and a reminder of just how much this community values what we do.

To everyone who has donated, volunteered, shopped with us or supported us over the last 10 years – thank you. You are part of this story. 💚

Do you remember visiting the shop when it first opened? We'd love to hear your memories in the comments below.

🎉 10 Years of the Bridges Community Shop 🎉

This month we're celebrating an incredible milestone – 10 years since the Bridges Community Shop first opened its doors.

Over the past decade, thousands of donations have been given a second life, hundreds of volunteers have shared their time and talents, and countless customers have helped support the work of Bridges simply by shopping with us.

What started as a small idea has become an important part of our charity and our community.

Over the coming days we'll be sharing memories, photographs and stories from the last ten years. We'd love you to join us.

Summer has arrived in the Bridges Community Shop and the rails are looking very good indeed ☀️👗👕

From high-quality clothing and stylish accessories to hidden gems for the home, there are some brilliant finds in stock right now — and plenty of them look far more “boutique” than charity shop.

Whether you’re hunting for summer outfits, holiday essentials, or just love a good browse, it’s well worth popping in. Every purchase helps support the work of Bridges across Monmouthshire too 💚

Come and see what treasures you can find this week!

Thank you to our wonderful customers! ❤️

Thanks to your generosity, the donation box in the shop raised £55.45 for the Poppy Appeal last November.

Every coin dropped into the box helps support the Armed Forces community and ensures their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.

We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness shown by our community. 🌺
