WREXHAM club goers can be assured of a safe place to go should they run into any issues thanks to the Hafan y Dref welfare centre.
The centre, which operates from 10pm – 4am is staffed by Events Medical and offers support to anyone who feels unwell or encounters problems such as losing friends, dead battery on a phone, or when someone is too drunk, Hafan y Dref is there to keep people safe and out of harms way.
Staff also patrol the streets ensuring nobody in need is missed by handing out flips flops and water to those needing it.
Hafan y Dref is easy to find, located in part of the toilet block at the bottom of Town Hill close to Atik nightclub.
The Centre is one of several initiatives in Wrexham city centre to assist anyone who needs help during a night out and they are supported by door staff, police officers, street pastors and of course family and friends.
Cllr Paul Roberts, lead member for partnerships and community safety, said: “Hafan y Dref is a fantastic facility there to help everyone who might need a helping hand whilst enjoying an evening out.
“It has a proven record of reducing pressures on the emergency services and of providing immediate assistance to anyone needing help. They don’t pre-judge anyone they’re there to help and prevent unnecessary distress or harm.”
Hafan y Dref was first opened in December 2015 with the aim of providing a safe space for people who have become vulnerable due to consuming too much alcohol or taking drugs so they can receive medical attention and support through a combination of medical assessment, supervised recovery, and discharge.
