INDEPENDENT artisans, traders and creative businesses will have the opportunity to showcase their products virtually thanks to the vision of a leading community organisation. With markets, small firms and shops across North Wales forced to close due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Denbighshire Voluntary Services Council (DVSC) is about to launch a new venture - Change Makers Markets. As part of the venture, Ruthin Market Hall (below) is undergoing a refurbishment as it prepares to launch as a trading space for future events. The Market Hall in Ruthin. With the aim of creating innovative ways of supporting the local economy - made possible by the Welsh Government’s Foundational Economy Challenge Fund - Change Makers blends the virtual and digital worlds, incorporating a dedicated commercial training academy, one-to-one mentoring, funding advice and business planning guidance.
