Community comes together to bring joy to young girl – In a heart-warming act of generosity, seven-year-old Elli Rawlins from Wrexham was left beaming with joy after receiving a brand-new bike just a week after hers was stolen.
A Special Surprise
Thanks to the kindness of Gareth Williams, ARK Charity (Acts of Random Kindness), and also the Parkes Foundation, the young girl and her family received an unquestionably special surprise at Smyths Toy Store on Island Green.

The girl’s story moved Gareth deeply and he knew he had to take action. “No child should have to go through that kind of disappointment,” he said. “This was about showing that kindness and community spirit can turn a particularly negative situation into something truly special. Seeing her smile again was priceless, and I hope this moment inspires others to look out for one another.”
Adding to the special moment, Gareth expressed, “Presenting the equipment to Elli really touched me and truly put a smile on her little face.”

Act of Generosity
This act of generosity not only restored one little girl’s happiness but also showed the power of giving and standing together as a community. With ARK Charity continuing its mission to support those in need, this moment served as a reminder that even the most minor acts of kindness can have a lasting impact.

A special thanks to those who particularly helped make this possible:
- Smyths Toy Store, Wrexham
- Contas Printing, Wrexham
- Andrew Ruscoe – Cefn Community Council
- Rob Galloway – Media and Photography
- Wrexham AFC
- Lloyds Bank
