Who We Are

Ponthafren began as a small support group in 1992, becoming a registered charity in 1994. The decision to become a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) was made at in 2021 and implemented in 2022.

Throughout the years, Ponthafren has blossomed and helped many people.

We provide two wellness, learning and recovery centres in North Powys, alongside remote and outreach services, to help bring our communities together and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.

Ponthafren’s aim is “to provide a caring community, offering support to those in need and to promote positive mental health and well-being for all.”

We do this by valuing everyone as an individual, understanding that no one person is the same. We understand that you are more than your mental health issue, and hope that with the support we offer, you can overcome the barriers that you face and find a new route to your recovery, making life time achievements and friends along the way.

Within our centres, we focus on health and well-being providing a wraparound service that provides:

• Counselling
• One to One Recovery
• Silver Cloud – Online CBT
• Life Skills Courses
• Volunteering Opportunities
• Exercise Courses
• Creative Classes and Courses
