A NEW community space designed to support wellbeing and employment opportunities is to open in Rhyl.

Working Denbighshire is opening The VIBE Station in Rhyl on Friday May 29 at 40 Bodfor Street, the former home of Costigan’s Coworking.

It has been intentionally shaped as a “station” where people can stop, access support, and take their next steps forward.

It will also bring services together in one place to provide more joined-up, accessible support for the community.

Partners and organisations are being encouraged be part of The VIBE Station, whether by delivering sessions, offering services, or working alongside others to support people more effectively.

The launch event on May 29, from 1-3.30pm, will provide an opportunity for invited guests and members of the public to explore the space, meet partners and learn more about the support available.

Melanie Evans, principal manager of strategic employment at Working Denbighshire, said: “The journey towards employment is not always straightforward, and for many people it starts with wellbeing and feeling ready to take that first step.

“The VIBE Station has been created as a place people can come to at any stage, access the right support and begin to move forward in a way that works for them.

“By bringing together wellbeing, training and support in one space, we’re making it easier for people to connect with services, build confidence and progress at their own pace.”

Cllr Jason McLellan, leader of Denbighshire County Council and lead member for economic growth and tackling deprivation, added: “The VIBE Station represents an important investment in both people and place.

“Supporting individuals to improve their wellbeing and progress is key to building stronger, more resilient communities.

“This reflects our commitment to tackling inequality and supporting long-term economic growth by ensuring opportunities are accessible within our communities.”

Working Denbighshire’s one‑to‑one support is free and available to anyone aged 16+ living in the county.
