After reaching out to the much-loved brand, Richy was put in touch with employee Darren Atkins who revealed Ollie's eagerness to support the organisation.
The first sponsored event took place at Gwersyllt Cricket Club in May this year in which the group generously received an array of 'Wxm' items.

"It's open to anyone that may need to talk or wants a walk in the fresh air with others - kids and dogs also welcome."
Richy has hosted several mental health support events across Wrexham which receive an overwhelming turn-out. The walks provide a safe, judgement-free space for individuals to open up about their struggles.
