RESIDENTS across Rhyl are being invited to help shape the town’s future as ‘Our Rhyl/Ein Rhyl’ opens applications for new board members.
The board is set to deliver a £20million, 10-year plan focused on long term change. It is looking for people with a wide range of skills, experience and lived knowledge, who care about Rhyl and want to make a difference.
Alongside recruiting a small number of new board members, Our Rhyl/Ein Rhyl is also encouraging people to register their interest in themed Action Groups. These will act as sub-committees, focusing on specific priorities within the strategy and offering more residents the chance to get involved in practical, hands-on ways.
Craig Sparrow, Chair of Our Rhyl/Ein Rhyl said: “Rhyl is at a really important moment. There is strong momentum following nine months of hard work and a real appetite to collaborate. We want to make sure the people guiding this plan reflect the town and its communities.
“We are keen to hear from people with experience in community groups, faith organisations, education, tourism, culture, business, sport, and the third sector.

“Being part of Our Rhyl is about bringing your ideas and understanding of the town to the table and helping turn that into action.”
Board members are expected to attend four board meetings per year alongside occasional workshops or meetings. However, places are limited and not everyone who applies will be appointed.

Craig said: “We know there is a lot of talent and commitment in Rhyl and only so many Board seats. That is why Action Groups are so important. They give people a chance to focus on specific themes, contribute their skills and help shape delivery without taking on a full Board role.
“These groups will be central to turning plans into reality. They are for people who want to roll up their sleeves and be part of making change happen.”
Action Groups will begin forming later in 2026 and focus on different areas of the Our Rhyl programme.
Applications are now open and close at midday on February 11. Interviews will take place in March.
