THE charity behind the restoration of the Wrexham Miners Rescue Station site has raised £750 through its latest fundraising event.

Wrexham Warehouse Project supports young people, including care leavers and adults with learning disabilities.

In 2020, the group moved into the derelict and partly demolished Miners Rescue Station building on Maesgwyn Road.

Since then, they have been hosting a number of events on site to raise funds for their ambitions of rebuilding the site whilst also keeping its 'uniqueness'.

It was originally built for the purpose of training a coal mining rescue team. The Wrexham Warehouse Project aims to 'save a building, built to save people'.

The charity has previously held a series of events including a puppet nativity and an art exhibition. Its latest fundraiser - the 'Halloweekender' collected £750 towards the restoration project.

A spokesperson for the Wrexham Warehouse Project said: "This exciting project will house a museum for coal mining heritage, a community cafe run by adults with learning disabilities and an educational and arts space.

"The project will also house affordable accommodation, offering young people the chance to partake in the build and then to reside in it.

"We would like to thank all our staff and volunteers for all their help and to all who were brave enought to visit our Halloweekender."
