How can we help?

What services we have to offer

The Team Around the Tenancy is for young people aged 18-25 who were previously looked after and are having difficulties in relation to their accommodation / tenancy. The service helps young people to overcome the difficulties they are experiencing and help them maintain their current tenancy and/or obtain more secure accommodation. The service helps young people by building, maintaining and where necessary repairing relationships which also helps combat isolation and loneliness in the community. Young people will be encouraged to identify their strengths, skills and resources to make positive changes with their Team Around the Tenancy Practitioner and to develop their own Team Around the Tenancy Action Plan.

What is a Team Around the Tenancy action plan?

A Team Around the Tenancy action plan is the outcome of a Team Around the Tenancy meeting where the young person, significant people in their lives along with professionals come together to identify appropriate actions needed to help them obtain and maintain stability and increase their support network for the future.

Welcome/Croeso
We're North East Wales Mind. We help Flintshire and Wrexham people recover from mental health problems and stay emotionally healthy.
Although we can't be with you in person right now we're still here to support you over the phone and onlline. You can email [email protected] or give us a ring on 01352 974430. Our lines are open between 10am and 4pm each weekday. As well as telephone counselling and emotional support we're working hard to bring you a range of online services and activities. Keep an eye on our events page to find out what's going on.

Help us with a donation

Your donation ensure that everyone suffering with a mental health problem gets the support they need to recover.

Did you know?

Research shows that every year 1 in 4 people experience stress, anxiety, depression or another type of mental distress. That means over 59,000 people in Flintshire and Wrexham are likely to be affected this year alone. If you (or one of your family or friends) are among them, you've come to the right place.

Our first online yoga and relaxation class went really well - here's what one of the participants had to say:

Thank you. For an hour and a half today I forgot all about:
Self-isolation and the uncertainly of how long it will last,
Being physically separated from my family, children and grandchildren,
The worry of being in that "over 70" vulnerable group
and was able to immerse my self [in yoga]"

There are lots of ways to get around depending on where you going and how you want to get there.

Buses & trains

Buses and trains are the main forms of public transport between places. Wrexham has lots of buses running to lots of different areas, while Arriva Trains Wales run most of the trains. Both offer reduced travel for young people and there's mytravelpass, which offers discounted travel on public transport for 16 - 18 year olds across Wales. You can also buy the 16-25 railcard, which knocks 1/3 off fares.

Check if you're eligible for free school transport if you're 16+ with Wrexham Council.

Traveline Cymru provides info on public transport across Wales, and Google Maps is getting better all the time with its public transport info.

https://www.thetrainline.com/ is another great place to help you plan your rail journey and get live train running times, accessibility, and facility info.

Safety is important when using transport especially if you are travelling alone, so always make sure you know transport times and that someone knows where you are going.

Keep your personal belongings on you or in a safe place whilst you travel and if something goes missing report it straight away.

Cycling

Walking is the cheapest mode of transport and is good for your health, as is cycling. In Wrexham you have Pedal Power for bike hire, training and advice, while Sustrans Cymru has tips and bike routes.

Ever wondered if you're allowed to cycle on the pavement? Rule 64 of the Highway Code says - You MUST NOT cycle on a pavement. That's their all caps and bolding.

Learning to drive

You can learn to drive a car at 17 (16 if you want to ride a moped or light quad bike).

You can apply for a provisional licence when you're 15 years and 9 months old.

Gov.uk's Learning to Drive pages has all the info you need about tests, fees, age restrictions etc.

BBC Advice also has lots of info and tips.

Taxis

Taxis are a great, quick mode of transport if you haven't got a car. Her are some tips on how to stay safe when getting a taxi

Make sure you order from a taxi firm or at a black cab station.

Taxi licensees have to show that their vehicle is safe to use so don't get in a taxi that does not look safe.

Some taxis have meters and some don't, if they don't have a meter make sure you get a price for the journey so you don't get an expensive surprise at your destination.

All taxis have to have a licence on display- all taxi drivers should have on show a badge that displays his or her licence number, this is issued by the local council as a symbol of safety.

Trams

Sadly we don't have any trams here, despite this excellent song from Wales very own Super Furry Animals...

When I am Ready’ enables young people in foster care to continue living with their foster carers once they turn 18. It allows them to remain in a stable and nurturing family environment up to the age of 21, or up to age 25 if they are completing an agreed programme of education or training. Local authorities are required to set up local ‘When I am Ready’ schemes in line with the national guidelines set out in the Code of Practice relating to Part 6 of the Act.

Please speak with your social or support worker about Wrexham When I am Ready Scheme.

It is important that any young person who is sleeping rough approaches their local council for help. If you have seen someone sleeping rough, you can contact StreetLink via their website or app. Street Link will ask you for some details about the person, including where they are sleeping, so that they can connect with local services such as day centres, outreach teams or night shelters.

If you are comfortable talking to the young person, you can also ask them if they have approached their local council for support. Many young people simply don't realise that there is support available for them, and often don't know how to access it.

If you are comfortable doing so, you could support them to approach their local council, ensuring that they are able to make a homelessness application and that an assessment of their needs and situation is completed.

If you have seen a young person sleeping rough and it is outside of office opening hours, you can call Llamau's Youth Homeless Helpline, run in partnership with Shelter Cymru, free of charge, on 08000 495 495. Highly trained colleagues and volunteers will help you to access safe temporary accommodation and provide advice on how to keep yourself safe.

If you are worried that the young person is in immediate danger, you should call the emergency services on 999.
