In recognition that no one agency can deliver services in isolation South West Rhyl Communities First in partnership with a number of welfare to work agencies intend to develop an inclusive flexible multi agency, mobile one stop shop that will address economic inactivity in both Rhyl South West, Rhyl West and Communities First areas in Conwy where it has been identified that some of the communities may benefit from such a service.
Making the service mobile is key in that it will be accessed by residents in the proposed areas close to their homes
Partner collaboration and local joint activity is the key feature of the programme bringing together a package of support for workless people and people on low incomes
It will provide an information and advice service to residents and work towards reducing the number of unemployed and economically inactive in the areas and will address in part service delivery improvements by bringing services to the people as opposed to the current system of people who may have multiple barriers to accessing several service providers scattered around the towns of Denbighshire & Conwy.
One member of staff will be employed to manage and deliver the project and sustainability of the project will be achieved by generating income from hire when the bus is not in use.
SWRCF has been successful in securing funding from Conwy & Denbighshire Community Cohesion funds and Strategic Regeneration funding to purchase the bus and have it refurbished and are submitting an outcomes fund application.
Debbie Holmes – Development Officer at SWRCF said “ The project arose as a need from consultation with residents and has taken sometime to develop and to get buy in from agencies but believes that the resource will be a valuable source of information and advice for residents and help those that are economically inactive to gain the skills and tools they need for entering or re-entering the workplace. Partnership working and programme bending with Denbighshire County Council has enabled SWRCF to purchase and refurbish the bus.”
