Hub Details

After careful consideration, Bracken Trust has decided to remain at the Community Centre in Knighton (at least until its current grant expires in March 2024) for its fortnightly hub.

However, the day will change to a Wednesday. This means that it will be open on the 1^st and 3^rd Wednesday of every month from 9.30a.m. – 3.30 p.m. As well as scheduled appointments, our drop-in service will be running, so please feel free to pop in for a cuppa and a chat.

Lisa Griffiths, Chief Executive, would like to take this opportunity to thank the Community Centre Committee for their support to date and for agreeing to some changes that will make the areas leased more comfortable and relaxing for patients.

Past Events & Activities

8th October 2024: Llandrindod Wells Fire Station Open Evening.

We were delighted to attend Llandrindod Wells Fire Station’s Open Evening on 8th October with our Activities & Events stand, advertising upcoming events in aid of The Bracken Trust.

We also held a raffle and launched our Halloween activities – ‘Name the Dog’ & Halloween Colouring Competition, along with selling some of our rainbow pen merchandise, raising a FANTASTIC £85.

Huge thanks to all those who visited us and well done to the fire crew for putting on a fabulous evening! We can’t wait for next year’s event!

September 2024: Caersws Whist Drive

Caersws Whist Drive, which takes place every Friday raised an astonishing £500 for The Bracken Trust!!

September 2024: Powys Radnor WI Craft Group Donation to The Bracken Trust.

The presentation by the craft group of the Powys Radnor Federation WI, of heart cushions and drip bags, for those recovering from breast cancer, to the Bracken Trust. The inspiration for the project came from Carolyn Grinnell, who had herself received tremendous support from The Bracken Trust, a charitable organisation based in Llandrindod Wells which has been supporting people affected by cancer since 1995. Carolyn, also a member of Howey WI and the PRFWI craft group suggested the project to her fellow craft group members. The results of the donations of material and subsequent work, are not only extremely practical and comfortable to use, the heart cushions and drainage drip bags are attractive too. Special mention was made to the Sylvia’s, Meg, and Chris, for their contributions. The presentation to the Chairman of the Bracken Trust Board Howard Russon and CEO Lisa Griffiths, was made by Jenny Keal the PRFWI Craft Group leader, with the High Sheriff of Powys Lady Kathryn Silk and other guests in attendance. A very pleasurable and productive afternoon was of course rounded off with tea and some delicious cakes.

8th December 2023: The Bracken Trust’s Christmas Tree is ready for the Holly Trinity Church annual Christmas Tree Festival.

The Festival will be open from the 11th December 23 – 1st January 24. Please feel free to add a ribbon on to our tree in recognition of the many different types of cancer.
