Ponthafren

Ponthafren Centre 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.

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!

Fund Raising

Santa Run

Money raised from the Santa Run has been used to:

  • upgrade the broadband connection in the training room
  • replace the kitchen window (a donation from Newtown Round Table was put towards this project)
  • replaster the ceiling in the Pine Room
  • improve the electrics in the Cellar

Green Award


Ponthafren have been awarded the Networks Wales Green Award for the work done to reduce our carbon footprint.

Thanks to Martin who co-ordinated the project which included websites created by members of the Websters Group showing what has been done to make us more eco friendly.

Arty Crafters


This group was very successful at the Newtown Xmas Lights evening where they sold a huge array of items including table decorations, cards, crackers, jewellery, felt items, soft toys and oak bowls, bird and bug boxes made by the Woodwork Group.

The lucky dip was also a huge success. Congratulations to all who took part.
