💙 Have you visited Wrexham's Bench of Hope yet?

Nestled outside Pontcysyllte Chapel Tearoom in Trevor, Wales' first TalkingPoint Bench is more than just somewhere to sit. It's a place to pause, reflect, connect with others, or simply take a quiet moment for yourself. Created as part of the Baton of Hope legacy, it's a reminder that hope can be found in even the smallest conversations.

Our Messages of Hope webpage is filled with kind words, encouragement and personal messages from people in our community.

🎥 Visit the webpage to watch our Messages of Hope video:

What’s your Message of Hope? 💙

Share it on social media using and help us spread hope even further.

27/08/2026

Hope can feel a long way away when you're struggling. But it can be found again. 💙

This is what one person shared after receiving one-to-one support with ABF, and it's exactly why we're here.

Everyone deserves to feel heard, supported and hopeful about the future. Whether you're facing anxiety, low mood, difficult life changes or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don't have to go through it on your own.

Seeing people rediscover their confidence, rebuild their wellbeing and believe in themselves again is what makes our work so special.

If you or someone you know could benefit from support, we'd love to help.

💙 Fundraising for ABF - Help your community, your way! 💙

There are few things more powerful than people coming together to lift each other up - and that’s exactly what you’ll be doing when you fundraise for Advance Brighter Futures.

So, if you’ve ever thought “I want to help, but I don’t know where to start” – don’t worry, we’ve got you!

Whether you love a good bake sale, quiz night, or just fancy dusting off your running shoes, there are loads of ways you can raise funds for ABF, where every penny you raise helps us support people who are struggling with their mental health.

We’re a small local charity with a big heart., and we’ve been supporting people in Wrexham with their mental health for over 30 years.

Your fundraising helps us to keep delivering our services completely free of charge to our community, like:

💬1-2-1 Talking Therapy
🌱 1-2-1 Coaching
🧘‍♀️ Wellbeing Group Activities
🗣️ Self-advocacy Workshops

And even more support that helps people feel seen, heard, supported, and less alone.

With services under huge pressure, more people are turning to local charities like us for help. And with funding becoming harder to secure each year, support from local fundraisers is more vital than ever.

So, if you want to support your community, here are a few easy ways to get involved:

💛 Become a Friend of ABF – One-off donation each year to join our community of Friends!

There’s something special about spending time outdoors, getting your hands in the soil and watching all that care and patience turn into something wonderful. 🌻🌱🍅

Our ABF Weekly Allotment Group has certainly been enjoying the fruits (and vegetables!) of their hard work recently — just look at those tomatoes and runner beans, not to mention the beautiful burst of colour from the flowers! 🫘🌼

But our allotment is about so much more than gardening.

It’s a peaceful, welcoming space where people can spend time in nature, be active at their own pace, meet others and gradually build confidence. Whether you fancy getting stuck into some gardening or simply taking a little time to unwind and enjoy the surroundings, there’s no pressure and no previous gardening experience is needed.

Sometimes, planting a small seed can be the beginning of something much bigger. 🌱💙

🌱 ABF Weekly Allotment Group
📅 Tuesdays | 11:00am – 1:00pm
📍 Erddig Allotment, Wrexham

FREE referral-only service for Wrexham residents aged 18+

ℹ️ Our Allotment Group is available by professional referral through the Community Mental Health Team. If you'd like to find out more, please give us a call on 01978 364777.
