Iolo Williams officially opened Ponthafren's gardens on Monday 25th July 2011. He was most impressed by the variety of wildlife present and impressed by the amount of work that has gone into the project. Thanks to all the volunteers and sponsors who have made this possible.
Welshpool Outreach
The Welshpool outreach is very successful and continues to grow. We are applying for funding to enable us to extend the opening hours at the Welshpool Outreach centre. We are also looking into the possibility of offering an Out of Hours Crisis Service with access to a counselling service.What is Ponthafren?
Ponthafren Centre, opened in 1992, is a registered Mental Health Charity, catering for people who experience mental health issues, those who may be socially isolated or excluded. The group offers drop-in facilities where people can relax, chat and have a chance to participate in a wide range of workshops, activities and courses if they wish. In-house support is available and the association can signpost to other organisations and specialist support services.
Volunteer Supporters
Our unique system of recruiting and training service users to become Volunteer Support Workers has continued and our team of dedicated volunteers help to keep the centre open every day of the year, at times when people need it most. These volunteers really do keep us going and have enabled us to grow and develop through their sheer dedication and hard work. Thanks to everyone!
Where are we?
Ponthafren operates within the rural area of Montomeryshire, North Powys, where people have difficulty in accessing public transport. Our main centre is in Newtown with an outreach centre in Welshpool.
