The Thomas Shop provides respite care for people from a variety of backgrounds to relax, experience the delights of Mid Wales and have the opportunity to reflect.

Situated in beautiful countryside on the banks of the River Ithon it provides a place of sanctuary and retreat. Some people who have come to the Thomas Shop do so to pursue a specialist interest such as reading, walking or painting.

Carers can be offered respite on a break from the caring role; families can come to find respite together; or people with a disability can find respite while their carers also have a break. Certain weeks of the year at the Thomas Shop have been set aside for Respite. The benefits have been quite remarkable and several people have described them as life changing experiences.

Liz and Derek, the owners of the Thomas Shop, each have over thirty years experience in the caring profession and can offer a range of support to cater for specific needs. The Thomas Shop is not a specialist ‘care home’ for Carers or users of services, it is a place where people find acceptance as a full guest in the owners house.
