More than 1,100 unemployed people facing hidden barriers to entering the labour market have been helped to start their own business thanks to a Welsh Government grant scheme, Economy Minister Vaughan Gething has announced.


They include unemployed single mum Sami Gibson, who was determined to build a better life for herself and her child.


Sami had dreams of setting up her own business but faced several barriers – she had no laptop or internet connectivity and was living in a remote rural location.


Thanks to support from the Welsh Government’s Business Wales service, Sami has set up a new business called Roots, which grows and sells herbs and other plants sustainably. Roots also creates blends such as stuffing herb mix with wild bilberries, a nasturtium salt, and pizza sauce herbs.


Sami was awarded a Barriers to Start Up Grant worth £2,000, which she used to purchase equipment and marketing materials for her start\-up.


Sami said:


“Thanks to invaluable support from Business Wales, I now trade regularly at markets and I have a thriving website for sales.”


The Barriers to Start\-up Grant for over 25\-year\-olds is a revenue grant to help economically inactive and unemployed individuals over the age of 25 to start up a business in Wales.


It particularly targets individuals facing barriers to starting their own business or to enter the employment market. It is part of a package of support that includes one\-to\-one advice and webinars to build confidence in business practices and develop plans for starting a business.


Of the successful applicants in the latest phase of the grant scheme 57% were female, 26% were disabled, and 13% identified themselves as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic.


The fund supports the Welsh Government’s aim of eradicating the gap between the employment rate in Wales and the UK by 2050, with a focus on fair work and raising labour market participation of under\-represented groups.


Speaking at the start of Global Entrepreneurship Week, Economy Minister Vaughan Gething said:



> “The Welsh Government is determined to create a fairer and more prosperous Wales, where people are supported to fulfil their true potential.
> 
> 
> “We are working hard to create good\-quality jobs in communities across Wales. That includes supporting people into work, regardless of their individual circumstances or the barriers they face to employment.
> 
> 
> “We are also focused on supporting more people to start their own business, fostering an even more vibrant SME sector, and prioritising enterprises built on sustainability and the industries and services of tomorrow.
> 
> 
> “I am delighted this grant initiative has already helped so many people, including those from groups under\-represented in the labour market, and those in and out of work with long term health conditions.”


As well as assisting individuals aged over 25 to start up a business, the Economy Minister approved £5m over three years to support young people into self\-employment with advice and financial support to deliver on the Young Person’s Guarantee. The Young Person’s Start\-up Grant for those aged under 25 went live in July 2022 and is administered by Big Ideas Wales. This grant will run until 2025\.

Mae Sami Gibson yn un ohonynt sy’n fam sengl, ddi\-waith a oedd yn benderfynol o greu bywyd gwell iddi hi ei hun a'i phlentyn.


Roedd gan Sami freuddwydion am sefydlu ei busnes ei hun ond roedd yn wynebu sawl rhwystr \- doedd ganddi ddim gliniadur na chysylltiad rhyngrwyd ac roedd yn byw mewn lleoliad gwledig, anghysbell.


Diolch i gymorth gan wasanaeth Busnes Cymru Llywodraeth Cymru, mae Sami wedi sefydlu busnes newydd o'r enw Roots, sy'n tyfu ac yn gwerthu perlysiau a phlanhigion eraill mewn ffordd gynaliadwy. Mae Roots hefyd yn creu cymysgeddau fel perlysiau ar gyfer stwffin sy’n cynnwys llus gwyllt, halen capan cornicyll, a pherlysiau saws pitsa.


Cafodd Sami Grant Rhwystrau rhag Dechrau Busnes gwerth £2,000, ac roedd yn defnyddio hynny i brynu offer a deunyddiau marchnata ar gyfer ei busnes newydd.


Meddai Sami:



> "Diolch i gefnogaeth amhrisiadwy gan Busnes Cymru, rydw i bellach yn masnachu'n rheolaidd mewn marchnadoedd ac mae gen i wefan lewyrchus rwy’n ei defnyddio i werthu fy nwyddau."


Grant refeniw yw'r Grant Rhwystrau i Bobl Ifanc i helpu unigolion dros 25 oed sydd yn economaidd anweithgar a di\-waith i ddechrau busnes yng Nghymru.


Mae'n targedu unigolion sy'n wynebu rhwystrau rhag dechrau eu busnes eu hunain neu fynd i mewn i'r farchnad lafur. Mae'n rhan o becyn cymorth sy'n cynnwys cyngor a gweminarau un\-i\-un i fagu hyder mewn arferion busnes a datblygu cynlluniau ar gyfer dechrau busnes.


O'r ymgeiswyr llwyddiannus yng ngham diweddaraf y cynllun grant, roedd 57% yn fenywod, 26% yn anabl, a 13% yn ystyried eu hun yn Ddu, Asiaidd ac Ethnig Leiafrifol.


Mae'r gronfa yn cefnogi nod Llywodraeth Cymru o ddileu'r bwlch rhwng y gyfradd gyflogaeth yng Nghymru a'r DU erbyn 2050, gan ganolbwyntio ar waith teg a chodi cyfranogiad yn y farchnad lafur gan grwpiau sydd heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol.


Wrth siarad ar ddechrau'r Wythnos Entrepreneuriaeth Byd\-eang, dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:



> "Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn benderfynol o greu Cymru decach a mwy ffyniannus, lle y mae pobl yn cael cymorth i gyflawni eu gwir botensial.
> 
> 
> "Rydym yn gweithio'n galed i greu swyddi o ansawdd da mewn cymunedau ledled Cymru. Mae hynny'n cynnwys cefnogi pobl i weithio, beth bynnag yw eu hamgylchiadau unigol neu'r rhwystrau sy'n eu hwynebu rhag dod o hyd i waith.
> 
> 
> "Rydym hefyd yn canolbwyntio ar gefnogi mwy o bobl i ddechrau eu busnes eu hunain, meithrin sector BBaCh hyd yn oed yn fwy bywiog, a blaenoriaethu mentrau a sefydlwyd ar gynaliadwyedd a diwydiannau a gwasanaethau'r dyfodol.
> 
> 
> "Rwy'n falch iawn bod y fenter grantiau hon wedi helpu cymaint o bobl yn barod, gan gynnwys rhai o grwpiau heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol yn y farchnad lafur, a'r rhai sydd mewn ac allan o waith gyda chyflyrau iechyd hirdymor."


Yn ogystal â chynorthwyo unigolion dros 25 oed i ddechrau busnes, cymeradwyodd Gweinidog yr Economi £5 miliwn dros dair blynedd i gefnogi pobl ifanc i fod yn hunangyflogedig gyda chyngor a chymorth ariannol i gyflawni’r Warant i Bobl Ifanc. Aeth Grant Dechrau Busnes Pobl Ifanc i'r rheini dan 25 yn fyw ym mis Gorffennaf 2022 ac fe'i gweinyddir gan Syniadau Mawr Cymru. Bydd y grant hwn yn weithredol tan 2025\.
