Wrexham: Coronavirus local support
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Association of Voluntary Organisations Wrexham (AVOW)
The Association of Voluntary Organisations Wrexham (AVOW) have put together a Community Support Pathway to ensure individuals can get in touch with the right people at the right time.
The AVOW Community Support Pathway includes contacts for your local Community Agent, Community Council and Councillor for your ward – these should be your initial points of contact within the community. If none of these resources are available in your area, and you have no access to family, friends or neighbourhood support, you can contact AVOW.
