The trust aims to preserve Welsh heritage and culture by hosting traditional Welsh crafts workshops, Welsh male voice choir rehearsals, and artisan craft fairs.

A perfect example of the type of initiatives supported by the Perthyn programme!

The Perthyn team took part in a funding event organised by @CVSC earlier this month, held in the historic ‘Yr Hen Ysgol’ in Abergele.

Yr Hen Ysgol was recently bought by the Abergele Conservation Trust who plan to renovate it into a museum, community café, an events venue and community centre.

Nod yr ymddiriedolaeth yw gwarchod treftadaeth a diwylliant Cymru trwy gynnal gweithdai crefftau traddodiadol Cymru, ymarferion côr meibion Cymreig, a ffeiriau crefftau.

Enghraifft berffaith o'r math o fentrau a gefnogir gan raglen Perthyn.

Cymerodd tîm Perthyn ran mewn digwyddiad ariannu a drefnwyd gan CVSC yn gynharach y mis hwn, a gynhaliwyd yn yr Hen Ysgol yn Abergele.

Prynwyd yr Hen Ysgol yn ddiweddar gan Ymddiriedolaeth Cadwraeth Abergele sy'n bwriadu ei hadnewyddu'n amgueddfa, caffi, lleoliad digwyddiadau a chanolfan gymunedol

✨ Y penwythnos dwetha', treuliodd Sahar ddau ddiwrnod ysbrydoledig yng Nghyngres y Cydweithfa, a’r Uwchgynhadledd Ieuenctid Genedlaethol yn Neuadd y Dref, Rochdale — man geni’r mudiad cydweithfaol modern.

Diolch i @CooperativesUK am gynnal digwyddiad mor bwerus. #CoopCongress 💫

✨ Last weekend, Sahar spent an inspiring two days at Co-op Congress & the National Youth Summit at the iconic Rochdale Town Hall — birthplace of the modern co-op movement.

Massive thanks to @CooperativesUK for hosting such a powerful gathering. Diolch yn fawr #CoopCongress 💫

Arweiniodd Helen a Louis, o Sunflower Lounge weithdy Gofod3 anhygoel yr wythnos hon

Siaradon hwy yn bwerus am sut mae pobl ifanc sy'n gadael gofal yn aml yn cael eu gadael i ofalu amdanyn nhw eu hunain, ond sut mae cartref gweddus, fforddiadwy 𝘆𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗿 ar gyfer dyfodol mwy sefydlog a llwyddiannus.

The inspiring Helen & Louis from Sunflower Lounge led an amazing Gofod3 workshop @wcvacymru.bsky.social this week.

They spoke powerfully about how young people leaving care are often left to fend for themselves, but how a decent, affordable home 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿 for a more stable & successful future.

Earlier this week, Casey and Kath gave a 3-minute 'flashtalk' at the WISERD Annual Conference, using Dragons' Den-style pitches to promote student housing co-operatives. We were excited by the emphasis on affordable housing/community-led approaches and thrilled to take part in the discussion!

Yn gynharach yr wythnos hon, rhoddodd Casey a Kath 'flashtalk' 3 munud yng Nghynhadledd WISERD, gan ddefnyddio arddull Dragons' Den i hyrwyddo cydweithfeydd tai myfyrwyr. Roedd nifer y cyflwyniadau ar dai fforddiadwy/dulliau dan arweiniad y gymuned yn galonogol. Diolch am fod yn rhan o'r drafodaeth!
