A new charity shop and community hub for Brecon and young carers and adult carers was officially opened on Saturday 17 March 2018 by Kirsty Williams AM (pictured above, fifth from right and with the Mayor of Brecon, along with members of staff and other CREDU supporters.
The shop and hub at 45 High Street, Brecon (opposite Lloyds Bank) have been set up by Credu, who have been supporting carers since 2003 - you might know them as Powys Carers Service. Credu means 'believe' in Welsh and Credu (which is pronounced ‘cre-dee’) means believe in Welsh and their website states the following:
We believe in people: their skills, abilities and talents, and the resilience they display in everyday life.
We believe in the invaluable contributions carers make to their loved ones and their communities.
We believe carers of all ages deserve to thrive and be able to get the most out of life.
We believe no-one needs to do this on their own.
We believe in supporting carers by connecting them with whatever they need to live to their full potential.
All the best organisations celebrate important occasions with a cake and Credu are no exception.
Members of staff also donned wigs for the day
