Our Community Development Officer, Amy, has been out and about all through Wrexham over the past month, visiting everywhere from Story Brymbo through to Handlesbanken.
Here’s a quick look at what they’ve been up too.
Stepping Stones
It was a pleasure to attend the Stepping Stones volunteers week event. Amy said it was especially inspiring to hear from Jennie Henderson who is the 2025 Benefact Trustee of the year and was recognised for exceptional leadership and dedication.
You can learn more about the Benefact Group on their website.
Blind Bowling Club
Amy visited the Bellvue Blind Bowling Club.
Bellvue Blind Bowls Club is a new community club for blind / visually impaired persons meeting weekly at Bellvue Park Wrexham. For more information, or if you’d like to get involved, you can reach out to AVOW on helo@avow.org.

Handels Banken Networking Event
Handels Banken Networking Event
It was great to work with Handels Banken who welcomed local business and third sector organisations to a Grosvenor road networking event last week. We heard about all the great things that all the organisations do for the communities and discussed how they can work together for greater impact!
There were representatives of charities like AVOW, Stepping Stones, Bawso,Wrexham Citizens Advice and Wrexham Islamic Cultural Centre.
There were representatives from many local and national businesses there as well, all with the common goal of supporting the voluntary and community sector in Wrexham.
