A centre that helps people avoid homelessness is celebrating its tenth anniversary.

HWB Dinbych, a community hub in Denbigh, includes Yr Hafod supported housing and is run by Grŵp Cynefin.

Both were established when the housing association was founded a decade ago.

To commemorate the milestone, Welsh Government Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government, Jayne Bryant, will visit the facility on November 28.

This will allow her to meet Grŵp Cynefin staff, learn about the range of services provided, and meet those who have benefitted from the services available.

This includes former residents of the Yr Hafod homelessness facility who have successfully turned their lives around with the support provided.

Yr Hafod is a supported housing project for young people, located within the HWB Dinbych building, and has been offering assistance to 16 to 25-year-olds facing homelessness in Denbighshire for the past decade.

It consists of six self-contained apartments and provides 24-hour support, helping residents develop tenancy management skills and access employment opportunities.

HWB Dinbych is a partnership between Grŵp Cynefin, Denbigh Youth Project, Coleg Llandrillo, and Denbighshire Youth Services.

It provides educational, employment, and well-being opportunities, including training courses, workshops, and support for self-employment initiatives.

It also hosts various community activities, such as fitness classes, youth clubs, and arts and crafts sessions.

Mel Evans, chief executive of Grŵp Cynefin, said: "HWB Dinbych and Yr Hafod have both made a real impact in the local community.

"HWB Dinbych is a dynamic, vibrant centre that provides support, resources, and education to people of all ages and backgrounds."

Ms Evans attributed the success of Yr Hafod and HWB Dinbych to the dedicated and hard-working teams, describing them as a testament to Grŵp Cynefin’s commitment to creating safe and supportive environments for tenants and customers.

Cabinet secretary for housing and local government, Jayne Bryant, said: "I’m looking forward to marking the hard work and dedication of everyone involved with these two important services and seeing how Welsh Government funding to end youth homelessness supports young people in Denbighshire to live independently."
