A little kindness goes a long way! 🧁

We wanted to give a special shoutout to the lovely Lizzie, who attends our ABF Arts & Crafts Group and brings in delicious homemade cakes for everyone to enjoy each week! 🧁

There's nothing quite like a slice of homemade cake, a good cuppa and a bit of creativity! 🎨☕

But it's about so much more than the cake… It's the kindness, thoughtfulness and little gestures like this that bring people together, spark conversations and put smiles on faces.

Our groups are all about making connections, supporting one another and creating a welcoming space where everyone feels part of something. And it's people like Lizzie who help make them so special 💙

A huge thank you, Lizzie, for your kindness and generosity. You bring a little extra sweetness to everyone's week! 🧁

Autumn has arrived at the ABF Allotment!

Our Allotment Group have been busy making the most of the autumn harvest, and just look at those carrots! 🥕👏

There's something really rewarding about growing your own vegetables, watching them flourish and finally getting to enjoy the fruits (or veggies!) of your hard work!

And speaking of new things growing at the allotment… we've welcomed a new member to the team! 👀

Meet our very own ABF Scarecrow! 🌾 He's already looking right at home, keeping a watchful eye over the allotment and hopefully keeping the birds away from our lovely produce! 😂

Our allotment is about so much more than gardening. It's a place to get outdoors, learn new skills, build confidence, enjoy some company and take positive steps towards better mental health and wellbeing 💙

A big well done to everyone in our Allotment Group for all their hard work throughout the growing season. We can't wait to see what you get up to next year! 🌱

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day! 💚

Everyone has a story. Everyone deserves to be heard. And everyone deserves the chance to build a brighter future. ✨

This year's theme, "Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change," is something we believe in wholeheartedly at ABF.

Because we know that behind every mental health challenge is a person. A person with their own experiences, strengths, hopes and dreams.

We believe people are the experts in themselves. Sometimes, all it takes is someone to really listen, believe in you and help you see the possibilities ahead.

Every day at ABF, we're privileged to see what can happen when people feel heard, valued and supported. Confidence grows, connections are made, hope returns and lives begin to change. 💚

So today, let's celebrate the power of listening, the courage of sharing our stories and the difference we can all make by simply being there for one another.

Your story matters. Your voice matters. YOU matter. 💚

🐺 MUD, SWEAT, OBSTACLES… AND THEY DID IT! 🙌💚

A HUGE well done and thank you to Gen & team for taking on the Wolf Run and raising money for ABF along the way! 🏃‍♀️

Just look at these photos! 📸 Safe to say they weren't afraid of getting a little muddy for a good cause! 😂

The team have raised an amazing £185 so far, helping us continue supporting local people with their mental health and wellbeing 💙

We're so grateful to Gen and the team for choosing to support ABF, putting themselves through all that mud and making a difference in our community!

⭐ THERE'S STILL TIME TO DONATE! ⭐

If you'd like to show the team some love and help boost their fundraising total, you can donate here:

💙 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗢𝗡: 𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗙 𝗛𝗢𝗣𝗘 𝗪𝗥𝗘𝗫𝗛𝗔𝗠 💙

It was a day filled with emotion, courage, connection and hope. People came together from across our community with one shared message: su***de prevention is everybody’s business, and no one should have to struggle alone.

Over the past 12 months, that one day has grown into so much more…

🩵 Our Baton Bearers have stayed connected through meet-ups, walks, coffee and cake.

💙 We've trained over 100 people in su***de prevention and mental health first aid, building confidence in our community to support others in distress.

🩵 We've launched new su***de bereavement training - Responding to People Bereaved by Su***de or Suspected Su***de course.

💙 We launched the Bench of Hope – a physical place in Wrexham where people can sit, talk, connect and be reminded that there is hope.

🩵 Project Lead for Baton of Hope Wrexham, Susan Dray, continued walking and talking in memory of her son Daniel, taking on two huge challenges and showed incredible bravery, raising around £4,000 for ABF!

💙 We've continued working alongside local organisations, businesses, statutory partners and people with lived experience to keep su***de prevention and mental health support on the agenda and strengthen the support available across Wrexham.

🩵 We’ve launched a new project supporting children and young people with their mental health, work we believe is vital in our community.

And whilst sometimes it might seem quiet from the outside, we’re always working so hard behind the scenes to secure funding so that this work can continue and grow.

There is still so much more to do.

But for now, as we reflect on the past year - we want to say a huge 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 to every Baton Bearer, volunteer, fundraiser, sponsor, partner, organisation and member of our community who walked beside us on 4th October 2025 – and everyone who has continued walking beside us since 💙
