👙💕 LADIES… IT'S TIME TO LET YOUR BRAS GO! 💕👙

Are your drawers overflowing? Have you got bras that haven't seen daylight in years? Or perhaps a few that have been hanging around long after their supporting days were over? 😂

Well, we've got just the place for them!

🎀 The Emporium is now an official BRA BANK collection point for Against Breast Cancer! 🎀

Yes, ladies, we're asking you to GET YOUR BRAS OFF FOR A GOOD CAUSE! 🤣💗

Whether they're lacy, plain, padded, underwired, colourful or sensible, we'd love to have them!

✅ All styles and sizes welcome
✅ Must be in wearable condition
✅ Every donation helps support vital breast cancer research
✅ You're helping the environment too! ♻️

So have a good rummage through those drawers and bring us your unwanted bras at The Emporium in Sturminster Newton!

💕 LET YOUR OLD BRAS GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A LIFT! 💕

Together we can support Against Breast Cancer and help fund important research into prevention, detection and treatment.

Thank you for your continued generosity. You're all absolutely BRA-ILLIANT! 😂💕

❤️ The Emporium – Run by the Community, for the Community.

🎉 THE EMPORIUM IS BACK!!!! 🎉☺️
Our lovely sign is back where it belongs! ❤️
A HUGE thank you to the fabulous Ken, who came to our rescue and repaired and repainted our Emporium sign after it was damaged by the high winds. It looks absolutely wonderful again! 👏✨
And a big thank you to Adam for helping Ken get it safely hung back up in its rightful place. 💪
We really do have some wonderful people in our community who are always willing to lend a hand, and we appreciate you both very much. 🥰
The Emporium is officially back in business — sign and all! 😁❤️

What a fantastic first Cheese Festival for SturAction! 🧀💙💛

This was our very first time attending the Cheese Festival, and our famous Teddy Tombola was a great success! 🧸🎟️ It was wonderful to see so many people stopping by, having a go, chatting with our volunteers and finding out a little more about what SturAction does for the town.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported us over the weekend, and to our brilliant volunteers who gave their time to make it all happen.

We also loved seeing some of our 1855 traders there with their own pitches, showcasing their wonderful products alongside so many other local businesses.

We had a brilliant weekend and are already looking forward to doing it all again! 🧀🧸
