Mike Rogers RIP

We are very sad to announce that one of Ponthafren Association’s long serving volunteers, Mike Rogers, has passed away.
Individual Membership

Members perform an important role as they get to question the trustees and senior members of staff at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The members also elect the trustees at the AGM so, ultimately, the trustees are answerable to the members. It is the trustees who set the overall direction of the organisation.
One to One Recovery Project

Ponthafren's One to One project is a practical based support to help individuals to reach goals.
