Agriculture plays a crucial role in the UK’s economy, environment, and society. Its importance is multifaceted, and when combined with education, agriculture can be further enhanced, ensuring long-term sustainability, innovation, and food security.
Established in 2020, Agri-cation helps bring the local community together, promoting well-being and developing skills in various areas of life, with agriculture as a central focus.
By partnering with this local community initiative, we aim to support the future of agriculture through education, sustainability, and community engagement.

Agri-Cation is a Wrexham based community project which aims to bring the local community together to aid wellbeing and develop skills across many areas of life. They aim to connect rural and urban lifestyles to educate on the importance of agriculture to the UK economy.
They are also dedicated to working with the unemployed, providing them with opportunities to upskill and enhance their employability. Through varies workshops, training programs, and mentorship, we help individuals gain the confidence and expertise needed to secure meaningful employment.
Why supporting Agri-Cation matters
The importance of agriculture in our lives cannot be overstated. From the food we eat to the land we walk on, agriculture is an essential part of our lives, yet not everyone fully understands its impact.
Agri-Cation bridges this gap, giving people a hands-on education that encourages a deeper connection to nature and farming. By partnering with them, we aim to broaden their reach, ensuring more people in Wrexham and beyond gain valuable insights into sustainable farming and the importance of a greener future.
On Friday, 22nd of November, Platts Group sponsored the Wrexham Business Community Awards, where we pledged 10% of all monies raised during the awards night will go directly to Agri-Cation. This contribution supports their continued efforts to make agriculture more accessible and inclusive, helping them to expand their programs and facilities to reach an even wider audience.
As we celebrate the achievements of Wrexham’s finest businesses and individuals, let us also recognise the difference we’re making collectively.
