Amdani, Wrecsam!

Wrexham has been shortlisted for UK City of Culture 2029.

And if we win? Wrexham would become the first Welsh City of Culture.

Amdani is a Welsh rally cry. It means go for it. Get stuck in. Let’s do this.

Wrexham’s in the running.

We’ve got a lot to play for.

🏆 Meet another of our F Jones winners, Jade Whitley!

Jade has been nominated in recognition of the incredible time and dedication she gives to Morris dancing in Wrexham.

Having danced since the age of 9, Jade started her own group in 2019 and has since grown it into a thriving team that now takes part in competitions.

Every Wednesday, Jade gives up her time to train the dancers at St Peter’s Hall on Smithfield Road, putting in countless hours to help the group develop, prepare for competitions and, most importantly, enjoy what they do.

The group has grown considerably over the past few years, even fundraising to help cover the cost of their competition dresses. And behind it all is Jade, who goes above and beyond for every one of her dancers.

Her dedication, enthusiasm and the time she gives so freely have made her a much-loved figure within the group and we’re delighted to celebrate her as one of our winners. ❤️

Congratulations, Jade! 🏆

STORI BRYMBO | PRESERVING THE PAST, SHAPING THE FUTURE

Some stories are worth preserving. Some places are worth protecting. And some heritage is simply too important not to share.

That’s why we’re proud to recognise Stori Brymbo as part of the F Jones Initiative.

For more than 300 million years, Brymbo has been shaped by extraordinary natural, industrial and social history. From the ancient Fossil Forest hidden beneath the town, to the industrial legacy that helped power the Industrial Revolution, its story
reaches far beyond the communities that call it home.

The Fossil Forest offers a remarkable window into a prehistoric world, ancient trees preserved in extraordinary detail, connecting Brymbo’s geological past with the industrial landscape that came much later.

But Stori Brymbo isn’t simply looking backwards.

It’s about saving, celebrating and sustainably using this heritage for the future, creating opportunities for people to discover, understand and experience the stories that make Brymbo and its neighbouring communities so distinctive.

Studying the past. Shaping the future.

The Jones Initiative is proud to support organisations helping ensure that these stories continue to be told, explored and valued for generations to come.

Congratulations to our Sept winner Gavin Jones!

Back in October 2025, Gavin had a simple idea: get local men aged 35+ back involved in sport, create a space to meet new people and build friendships, and use football as a way to bring the community together.

What started as a social football group has grown into something much bigger.

More than 30 members have joined the weekly sessions, with a regular group turning up week after week. For many, it has been their first time getting back into sport in more than 15 years.
The impact has gone far beyond football.

Members have spoken about the positive effect the group has had on their mental and physical wellbeing, giving them something to look forward to each week, an opportunity to be active, and most importantly, a social outlet where they feel part of something.

And now, that success has led to the creation of Rhosnesni FC, a brand-new over-35s football club.

21 of the original 30+ members have signed up, ready to take on competitive football together for the first time in years.
Gavin has built the whole project from the ground up, without additional funding or support, giving his own time and energy to create opportunities for local people to get active, reconnect with sport and build new friendships.

The project has even inspired some members to step forward themselves, taking on volunteer roles to help run and support the new club.

And Gavin doesn't stop there.

Alongside this project, he works for the NHS in Occupational Health, coaches the Borras Park Rangers U13s, and has recently completed his UEFA C Licence with the FAW.

It's a brilliant example of how one person's idea, commitment and determination can create a lasting impact in a community.

Good luck to Gavin and everyone at Rhosnesni FC for the season ahead. 👏⚽️

Recognising our September winner - Alison Williams 💫

This month, we’re delighted to recognise Alison for the incredible difference she makes to the people around her.

For years, Alison has voluntarily run a chair-based exercise group for around 20 people every Wednesday morning. What started as an exercise class has become so much more than that, it has become a place where people feel welcome, supported and valued.

The group is a wonderfully friendly bunch, and everyone thinks the world of Alison. She has created an environment where people feel comfortable opening up, sharing personal troubles and knowing that they will be listened to with kindness and complete confidence.

And the morning doesn't end when the exercise class does.
The group stays behind for a cuppa, biscuits and a chat and those simple moments of friendship and connection that can mean so much.

For the years of time, care and kindness she has given to others, we think Alison is incredibly deserving of recognition.

Congratulations, Alison and thank you for everything you do!

Recognising We Are Plas Madoc 💙

This month, we’re proud to recognise We Are Plas Madoc for the incredible work they do at the heart of their community.

Since becoming a registered charity in 2021, We Are Plas Madoc has been dedicated to improving opportunities and quality of life for residents of Plas Madoc and the surrounding communities — particularly those facing social, economic, educational or health inequalities.

But their work is about so much more than projects and services. It’s about people.

By listening to residents, building on the skills and strengths already within the community, and creating opportunities for people to get involved and have a voice, We Are Plas Madoc is helping to create lasting, positive change from within.

Their vision is simple but powerful: a community where people feel confident, proud, safe and supported, where neighbours look after one another and everyone has the opportunity to be involved.

That commitment to community, connection and creating a better future is exactly why they deserve recognition.

Congratulations to We Are Plas Madoc and to everyone who continues to make a difference every day. 👏

Congratulations Natasha!

Lovely words for our August recognition winner, Luke Kettlewell! 🎉

"I wanted to take a moment to recognise someone who has been an incredible source of support throughout my time in office as Mayor.

Luke has served as the Mayor's Attendant for the past 15 years, and from May 2024 to May 2025, he was my attendant during my year as Mayor. He also supported me throughout my time as Deputy Mayor from 2023 to 2024.

His commitment to the Mayoralty has been nothing short of exceptional. His knowledge of Wrexham, its people, and Mayoral protocol is second to none. Wrexham County Borough Council is incredibly fortunate to have someone of his dedication, professionalism and experience.

Luke is known and respected across the Borough. He is held in the highest regard by past Mayors, colleagues and residents alike, and nothing is ever too much trouble for him.

On a personal note, he looked after both myself and my Consort with such kindness, care and consideration throughout the year. As a lady in my senior years, his support and thoughtfulness never went unnoticed. He is a true gentleman in every sense of the word.

It really is time that Luke received the recognition he so richly deserves. Thank you, Luke, for everything you do, not just for the Mayor, but for Wrexham. You are truly one of a kind."

Congratulations Luke!
