Crossroads Shop

Established 1996

In 1996, the village of Meltham saw the inception of The Crossroads Project, a pivotal moment that laid the foundation for a community-driven initiative. What started as an idea stemming from Meltham Churches Together developed into a haven for affordable goods and community support.

Our Mission

At The Crossroads Shop, we believe in the power of community outreach. Our goal is simple: to provide affordable clothing, toys, and bric-a-brac while giving back to the community we serve. Every purchase made contributes to our mission of supporting local projects and initiatives.

A Legacy of Giving

Since opening our doors on February 12, 1996, The Crossroads Shop has been a beacon of generosity. Through diligent grant applications and community support, we've proudly contributed over half a million pounds  to various community projects. From playground renovations to educational programs, your patronage directly impacts our town.

In 2019 we expanded our shop, ensuring ample space for both shoppers and volunteers. This extension has allowed us to continue serving our community with an even wider selection of goods.  We have recently undertaken refurbishment of the space making it more user friendly for both customers and volunteers.

Volunteers: The Heart of Our Operation

Our dedicated volunteers are the backbone of The Crossroads Shop. Their unwavering commitment ensures a warm welcome, a diverse inventory, and a vibrant atmosphere. Join us for a chat, a browse, and perhaps find your next treasure

Adapting to Challenges

When the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to close our doors in 2020, our volunteers rallied, hosting pop-up shops in the Village Hall. These gatherings proved to be a testament to the strength of our community spirit.

We know that times are hard and because of this, in 2022, we decided to help people with the cost of Christmas by organising “Christmas on a Budget”.  This allowed us to provide jumpers, decorations, gifts, toys etc at a low price so that people didn’t have to spend lots of money to enjoy their Christmas.  This has become an annual event each November so that Christmas is affordable to all.

Join us today

Whether you're in search of a bargain, seeking community connections, or simply want to support local initiatives, The Crossroads Shop welcomes you with open arms. Together, we can continue making a difference, one purchase at a time.

Thank you for your continued support!
