A Cardiff mum is running her own walk-in free shop from her garage to help people amid the cost of living crisis. Becki Jones from Llanedeyrn decided on the spur of the moment to start the venture on October 3 and she's since gained thousands of followers on her shop's Facebook page.
The 30-year-old mum-of-three said she had always wanted to help the homeless since she was a little girl. But she realised everyone could do with some help, so she set up the shop for not only rough sleepers, but for all to visit. "It was an instant 'I'm going to help the world' thought," she laughed.
She began by giving away clothes in her house that she and her children didn't wear. She set up her Facebook page and asked whether anyone else would like to donate any items that could benefit others in need.
