The Drop In is a social hub for people to engage in the community and access emotional and practical support. New and vulnerable refugees seeking information and advice can access services and engage in many activities to help them adjust to life in the UK. English language classes are available to all and other courses available include safety in the community, local orientation and wellbeing as well as practical skills and information delivered by partner agencies and specialists. Everyone is encouraged to engage in the development of the Drop In and lead the activities going forward.

Hi I’m Claire I’m running a food donation cupboard for surplus food from my home address for my community which is Rossett burton and lavister in Wrexham and the border of England there is a population of 3500 people in this village alone and plenty of single people Upto family’s are really struggling even more at this very moment .. I’m fairly new with my new cupboard to share free food or food boxes to people who are in need and to ensure people have a meal daily also to cut down waste going to landfill which is a extra bonus I have set up a Facebook page for people of any requirements that are struggling to get in touch with us or pass any details we will be looking at delivering once a week to elderly when we have contact details in place that don’t use social media for instance I shall be making up flyers and contact cards to give people peace of mind to arrange the help for them with no charge in place.

We are a group of local volunteers who work to rescue 'date up' food from supermarkets, and get this food out into the community where it will be used, rather than go to landfill. We organise food boxes for people on request (either via messaging this page, or sometimes they will be referred by other people who are aware of what we do). We have built up a list of over 100 people now, and we take them in turn for a box. Photos of boxes ready to go out, or awaiting chilled food are shown in our media gallery. We also advertise boxes on our Facebook page when we have excess food available. We also help local charities and community groups by supplying excess food to them, thus helping them keep their costs down, and keep food waste to an absolute minimum. Also, this helps get food to people who are not on Facebook, especially the elderly.
