Next stop: Opening of the VIBE Station in Rhyl for all your wellbeing and employment support

Working Denbighshire is set to open The VIBE Station in Rhyl this month, a new community space designed to support people to move forward in their lives, starting with their wellbeing.

Opening on 29 May, The VIBE Station has been developed as a place people can come to at any point in their journey to employment. Whether someone is looking to improve their wellbeing, rebuild confidence, connect with others or begin exploring opportunities, the space is designed to meet people where they are.

Located near Rhyl Railway, The VIBE Station has been intentionally shaped as a ‘station’ where people can stop, access support, and take their next steps forward. It recognises that for many individuals, the journey towards employment begins long before job searching, and often starts with confidence, stability and wellbeing. The space will also offer a mix of wellbeing activities, training opportunities, one-to-one support and informal ways to connect with others.

A key feature of The VIBE Station is its role as a Visual Integrated Base for Employment (VIBE), bringing services together in one place to provide more joined-up, accessible support for the community.

Partners and organisations are being encouraged to get involved and be part of The VIBE Station, whether by delivering sessions, offering services, or working alongside others to support local people more effectively. The space has been designed to evolve, with integration and collaboration at its core.

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

Residents, partners and community organisations are invited to attend the public opening from 1:00pm to 3:30pm and experience how The VIBE Station can support people to take their next steps forward.

Melanie Evans, Principal Manager, Strategic Employment, 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.”

Councillor Jason McLellan, Leader of the 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.”
