Where is Hafan y Dref
Hafan y Dref is in part of the toilet block at the bottom of Town Hill close to Atik nightclub so it’s easy to find.
The Centre is one of several initiatives that are in place in centre of Wrexham 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 where people who have become vulnerable due to consuming too much alcohol or taking drugs can receive medical attention and support.
It provides a combination of medical assessment, supervised recovery and discharge.
The centre also provides other services, such as pastoral care, and sign posting to other services. It also can provide a physical base for partners managing the local night time economy.
