FOREVER GRATEFUL THANK YOU!

Because of our incredible local community and global supporters, The Turf has raised an inspiring £51,000 since 2018 – all dedicated to supporting local Wrexham charities and nonprofit organizations. And we’re just getting started.

With your continued support, we’re set to achieve even greater milestones with our annual Cheers for Charity fundraiser. Together, let’s continue to create a story of impact, unity, and positive change.

Who You’re Helping

Although the charities we support may change each year, below is a list that benefited from the proceeds of the 2024 Cheers for Charity fundraiser.

we’re in it together

As autumn ushers in the festive Christmastime spirit The Turf gears up for its annual Cheers for Charity fundraiser. Dedicated to spreading joy and goodwill, we are proud to say that our fundraiser channels every penny raised directly to local Wrexham charities. At its core, Cheers for Charity involves donating a week’s worth of profits in December from our beloved food truck – a delicious way for you to savour culinary delights while becoming a vital part of our community-driven cause.

The fundraiser's excitement continues to evolve and now extends beyond the food truck, featuring an enticing raffle in which tickets can be purchased for the chance to win a variety of prizes. Most recently prizes included five framed FAW portraits signed by Ryan Reynolds. To broaden our impact, we've also introduced a gofundme page, which proved wildly successful, garnering support from around the globe.

Your contribution, regardless of size, is crucial in making our community a better place for everyone. Together, we can create a ripple effect of positive change through Cheers for Charity, spreading compassion and making a lasting impact on those in need. Cheers to making a difference!

principles that drive us

Our journey has been shaped by the wonderful support and loyalty of the local and now global community, a support we deeply cherish. We recognize the profound impact this community and more recently the Welcome to Wrexham documentary has had on our success, and we are dedicated to showing our appreciation.

Our gratitude knows no bounds for the continuous support we’ve received from a community that wholeheartedly embraces us. It is our firm commitment to reciprocate this kindness by giving back.

Guided by a belief in the strength of community spirit, we are driven to make meaningful contributions, understanding that our success is intricately connected to the thriving life of Wrexham.

how you can help

We’re already hard at it behind the scenes, putting together the 2026 Cheers for Charity fundraiser and we’ll spill all the details this autumn, once we’ve wrangled all the moving parts into something that looks organised.

Until then, our GoFundMe page is open for anyone who fancies chipping in. Every penny goes straight to the 2026 charities, whether you’re just down the road in Wrexham or cheering us on from the other side of the world (and yes, we see you, you’re brilliant). Your support truly makes a difference, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

you are making a difference

Dear Wayne,

We are extremely fortunate to have such thoughtful supporters who take the time to act with such generosity of spirit. What an incredible force The Turf has become in so many ways. Your recent donation of £1,000 towards the care of children and families across Cheshire, Shropshire, North and Mid Wales is very kind indeed. Without donations from people like you we simply couldn’t do what we do. The care we can provide thanks to your support over the past two decades is expert, bespoke, and life changing. Thank you for thinking about Hope House’s Children’s Hospices.

Best wishes,

Cat Dowdeswell

Thank you so much for donating an incredible amount of £1000 which was raised from a raffle for the Rob and Ryan T shirts this was very generous of you. All these donations mean so much to everyone at the hospice and are vital to the overall running of our hospice. Your help enables us to continue our work in the way that we do. Nightingale House is a wonderful place full of love, care and support and at the heart of everything we do, are our patients and their families.

Our hospice is built on the support of the community we serve, so every penny donated by people like yourself goes towards helping our patients live as normal a life as they can for as long as the can and to support them with their well-being. We do our best to help them and to ensure the continuation of support for them and their families. Your donation will help us reach the hearts of so many people.
