Rhiwbina Hub

The refurbishment works to Rhiwbina Library are now complete which has transformed it into a new community wellbeing hub.  It is the latest in the City’s network of Community Hubs which offer joint library and hub services.

The scheme received funding from Welsh Government’s Integrated Care Fund (ICF), Integration and Rebalancing Care Fund (IRCF) and MALD (Museums, Archives and Libraries Division) which has enabled the building to be upgraded into a fit-for-purpose community facility.  The provision of new community rooms, meeting rooms and interview areas will support the co-location of health, housing and social care services whilst also enabling wider community use.

The refurbishment works include:

• New and improved reception facilities
• Dementia friendly internal redecoration throughout the public space, including new library shelving and seating areas
• Additional meeting space to accommodate both service delivery and community activities
• Refurbished public toilets to meet current accessibility standards
• A new computer suite with improved IT facilities and Wi-Fi coverage
• Creation of an attractive and usable outdoor space
• Improvements to the external elevations of the building
