Children’s games, rides and music planned for Safe Places Community Fun Day

Children’s games, fairground rides, music and much more will be on offer this month as part of the Safe Places Community Fun Day.

Taking place on August 22 between 10am and 4pm on Queens Square, the annual event aims to provide a safe space for everyone visiting Wrexham.

During the day there will be plenty on offer for youngsters and families to enjoy, including children’s games, face painting, fairground rides, candy floss, music and information stalls.

A spokesperson for Wrexham Council said: “The “Safe Places” scheme makes sure that everyone visiting Wrexham can have a safe place where they can go to when if they’re feeling anxious, panicked, stressed or particularly vulnerable.

“Local businesses sign up to take part in the scheme and then display a sign that registered users can recognise and know they will be able to get help from those inside.

“It gives people the security of knowing they, or people they care about, have a safe place to go in times of need.

“The safe place can be a shop, pub, library, council building or any place that is publicly available.

“A sticker will identify the place as a “Safe Place” and it will also appear in the national database.”

Safe Places Community Fun Day is run by SWS (Standards of Wrexham services) and is part of a national scheme.
