Risca ( no donations please) will be open tomorrow. But I need to give the floors second coat so please don't walk on the painted areas. Childrens play area is not to be used yet - toy and baby area is accessible - please refrain from using the playarea and supervise children. The older children's bay will not be available tomorrow.

I think we may close Pontypool to crack on with Risca floor because once we get second coats on the volunteers can put rails and stock back then.

Blackwood and Aberbargoed shop is open like clockwork.

We have a few shop hoppers that are picking up nappies in one shop and asking for milk in another. It's 1 or the other per week/7 days from the last time you picked up or its requested in a written request. Please remember this. Its need not greed.

We have Santa for Christmas. If you are one of our customers and donators with children who have food allergies can you let me know so that I can have prep time to source alternative gift. Thank you.
