MAKE A DIFFERENCE

someone near you...
Putting Personal Recovery at the Heart of what we do...
Our charity relies entirely on the income from Arc's charity shop, voluntary contributions and community funding. Without this generous support, none of our frontline clinical work would be possible. The success of our charity shop is thanks to the dedication of its management and wonderful team of volunteers.

Our shop is also a meeting point between the charity and the community, offering a welcoming place to find out more about Arc outside the setting of the counselling rooms.
It also provides valuable volunteering opportunities within the community, alongside our continually evolving, user-led craft and gardening projects.
MAKE AND MEND
Make and Mend is a successful craft hub for participants of all backgrounds, experiences and ages, who share a common ambition to turn our shop into a 'zero landfill waste' project. Participants enjoy having a common ethos and love of crafts and skills. Recycling and up-scaling unwanted items into gems has brought all involved a new-found positivity and purpose: creativity, connections, cross-pollination of ideas are invaluable in helping individuals maintain their emotional improvement and wellbeing and look positively to the future.
Visit the shop: Tuesday to Friday, from 9.30 to 4.00 or Saturday 9.30 to 1.00
