Restoring people and communities

Helping people feel part of their community and being accepted.

Stepping into The Re;Store you will be able to access a set of diverse, inclusive and supportive workshops and activities that will allow you to grow, improve, not only you but those around you and your community.

You will also be met with the warmest welcome on this side of Gwent.

In an environment that is designed by you, by us and is safe, inclusive and non-judgmental.

The Re;Store will grow with you and be there on your journey, however big or small.

Using co-production and community resources, we at The Re;Store aim to help those who have the experience of homelessness, whether that be directly or indirectly, to anyone who’s feels they have a need to be supported.

Our support reaches all individuals and the wider community.

We strive to restore and grow people and the places they live in. The Re;Store achieves this through tailored workshops, activities and events in its space in Pontypool.
