Intergenerational Week celebrates meaningful connections between generations, and Wrexham did just that.

AVOW captured volunteers from Bradley Bowling Club and WCBC Active Wrexham supporting children from a local school to take part in bowling. New skills were learned, and many conversations were shared across generations.

On Wednesday, the 13th of May, 2026, AVOW staff gathered for a Mental Health Breakfast. This year, the theme is ACTION, and AVOW took action to give staff time to talk about their mental health. This simple gathering of staff gave them an opportunity to unwind, and even play games.

Mental Health Week

AVOW takes mental health seriously. Here is the AVOW wellbeing room. A dedicated quiet room for people who need to step away from the stresses of life and work, or who just need a space without people for a moment or two.

What simple ways does your organisation have of improving wellbeing? Let us know in the comments!

**Throwback Thursday**

Here's some of the AVOW team, alongside our original octopus mascot, celebrating Volunteers Day by the Guild Hall.

We think this is all the way back in 2016, so 10 years ago!!

Can anyone out there confirm the year?? Bonus points if you can name who was inside the octopus suit! 😀🐙
