Cadarnhaodd Ysgrifennydd yr Economi fod wyth sefydliad gwahanol ledled Cymru, gan gynnwys awdurdodau lleol a chymdeithasai tai, wedi bod yn llwyddiannus yn eu ceisiadau i raglen Cyfuno Llywodraeth Cymru.

Ers cychwyn y rhaglen yn 2015 mae rhaglen Cyfuno: Creu Cyfleoedd drwy Ddiwylliant wedi gweithio gyda thros 5,000 o bobl a 150 o bartneriaid i ddarparu amrywiaeth eang iawn o brosiectau i bobl ifanc ac oedolion ledled Cymru. Mae’r rhaglen wedi galluogi aelodau’r gymuned i ehangu eu gorwelion a dod yn fwy hyderus, meithrin sgiliau ac ennill cymwysterau drwy gymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau diwylliannol. Mae pobl ifanc wedi bod yn rhedeg amgueddfeydd a chestyll, ac mae gweithiau celf enwog yn ymweld ag ysgolion cynradd ac operâu proffesiynol yn cael eu perfformio ar fysiau ysgol. Mae oedolion wedi gwirfoddoli ac ennill cymwysterau i wella eu gobaith o gael swydd, ac wedi cymryd rhan mewn cynlluniau i hybu eu hiechyd a’u cynhwysiant digidol.  

Bydd y cylch diweddaraf hwn o gyllid Cyfuno yn galluogi partneriaethau arloesol i drawsnewid llawer mwy o fywydau yn rhai o ardaloedd mwyaf difreintiedig Cymru. Bydd awdurdodau lleol, cymdeithasau tai a rhaglenni cyflogaeth yn cysylltu’n uniongyrchol ag amgueddfeydd, theatrau, llyfrgelloedd a safleoedd diwylliannol eraill, gan sicrhau bod pawb yn gallu manteisio at raglenni diwylliannol

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd yr Economi:  


> “Mae Cyfuno yn rhaglen ymyrraeth arloesol, am gost isel sy’n hyrwyddo cydweithio i wasanaethu anghenion pobl Cymru yn well. Ers lansio’r rhaglen cyfuno rydym wedi gweithio gydag awdurdodau lleol, safleoedd treftadaeth, theatrau ac eraill i annog miloedd o bobl na fyddent fel arfer wedi cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau diwylliannol, i fod yn rhan o bethau. Rwy’n falch iawn o allu neilltuo dros £200,000 i wyth prosiect newydd ledled Cymru a fydd yn sicrhau y gall y gwaith pwysig hwn barhau."

The Economy Secretary confirmed that eight separate organisations across Wales, including local authorities and housing associations, had been successful in their applications to the Welsh Government’s Fusion programme. 

Since its inception in 2015, the Fusion: Creating Opportunities through Culture programme has worked with over 5,000 people and 150 partners to deliver a huge range of projects to young people and adults across Wales. Fusion has enabled community members to widen their horizons and increase their confidence, skills and qualifications by taking part in cultural activities. It has seen young people taking over the running of museums and castles, famous artworks taken out to primary schools and professional opera performances on school buses. Adults have volunteered and gained qualifications to help improve employability, and taken part in schemes to boost health and digital inclusion.

This latest round of Fusion funding will enable innovative partnerships to transform many more lives in some of Wales’ most economically disadvantaged areas. Local authorities, housing associations and employment programmes will link directly with museums, theatres, libraries and other cultural sites, ensuring that cultural programmes are accessible to all. 

The Economy Secretary, said:


> “Fusion is an innovative, low\-cost intervention that promotes collaboration to better serve the needs of the people of Wales. Since the launch of the Fusion programme we have worked with Local Authorities, heritage sites, theatres and others to encourage thousands of people who might not normally have engaged in cultural activities to get involved. I am very pleased to be able to allocate more than £200,000 to eight new projects across Wales that will enable this important work to continue."
