The Mayor of Wrexham attended more than 25 engagements across the city and surrounding communities during July, according to a monthly update from Wrexham Council News. The programme brought mayoral visits to schools, community projects, local organisations and a hospice fundraising initiative.

More than 25 visits across the Wrexham area

The July diary focused on groups working with children, young people and residents across the area. Although the council published selected highlights rather than a complete engagement list, the update shows the range of organisations that received a visit during the month.

At Saint Paul’s School Isycoed, the mayor helped teach pupils vital first-aid skills. He also attended a sports day at St Chad’s School in Hanmer and visited Homegrown in Plas Madoc to present certificates.

Community programmes and local projects

The mayor welcomed participants from We Mind the Gap’s We Grow programme to the Guildhall. The organisation was among the community groups highlighted by the council for its work in and around Wrexham.

Other engagements included the opening of Stori Brymbo, adding a heritage-focused event to the month’s programme. The council did not provide further scheduling or attendance details for the individual visits in its summary.

Wrexham Monopoly supports hospice fundraising

During another July engagement, the mayor received a copy of the new Wrexham Monopoly board. The local edition was produced in aid of Nightingale House Hospice, connecting a city-themed product with support for the hospice.

The council described these appearances as a selection from the mayor’s wider July diary and said further engagements were still to come.
