The Hours

The building next door becoming available seemed like fate. We've had ambitions for a long time to expand and this support has helped make that a reality.

Nicola Bickerton, Managing Director

The Hours Cafe in Brecon has expanded thanks to a micro loan from us. As a result of a five-figure deal, The Hours opened a new deli in the premises next door. 

The Hours Bookshop has previously benefited from our support which enabled it to make improvements to its second floor extending their book and gift offering.
