Following high demand for funding support across the arts and cultural sectors a further £10\.7 million will be made available to support organisations and individuals during the pandemic, taking the total funding package available through the Cultural Recovery Fund to £63\.7 million.


This is in addition to an £18 million portfolio package provided in April, which was delivered by Welsh Government, Arts Council of Wales, Creative Wales and Sport Wales.


The announcement comes as many organisations and individuals are already benefiting from the Cultural Recovery Fund.


Benefiting from the Freelancer Fund, Roanna Lewis, actress, writer and director from Rhondda Cynon Taf, said:



> “I'm absolutely over the moon to have been offered a Freelancer Fund Grant. After months of being worried if I could sustain myself, this grant will mean that I can continue to stay in the field of work that I've trained in and professionally worked in for 6 years. Stories, entertainment and the arts is even more important now than it was before and all of these elements are created by freelancers.


Eve Hughes Butterly, a professional dancer, performer and teacher/instructor from Flintshire, said:



> “The impact of COVID\-19 has been truly devastating to what my life revolves around. The creative and performing arts industry is my career and a huge part of my identity, my being and has shaped me to who I am today. To dance, sing and perform live is a thrill and pure joy that cannot be replaced by anything else. I feel truly honoured and grateful to have been awarded the recovery grant, it has enabled me to keep the faith that what I do as a performer and teacher is admirable, valuable and worth keeping alive.


Henry Widdicombe, Machynlleth Comedy festival said:



> “The award of Cultural Recovery Funds by Welsh Government, put simply, is the difference between our organisation surviving the pandemic and not. The arts wholesale lost their ability to operate overnight earlier this year, and the faith placed in us through this fund mean that we will be able to return when it is safe and legal to do so, and gives us the ability to forward plan for when events can take place again. We welcome all support for the arts in Wales and have hope that the sector can survive this thanks in large part to the distribution of these funds.


This additional funding will be targeted towards the large number of applications, which have already been received by the Welsh Government – supporting organisations in the cultural, creative, events and heritage sectors – to ensure this money reaches more parts of the sector as quickly as possible.


The funding will be used to open a third phase of the successful Freelancer Fund which will see a further £3\.5 million being made available nationwide across all local authority areas from 10am on Monday 23 November to freelancers in the creative sector.


Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism, Lord Elis\-Thomas,  said:



> “In Wales, we want to do everything possible to ensure our arts, culture, heritage and creativity survive this pandemic. In recognition of how hard the sector has been hit, we’re investing an additional £10\.7 million to provide further help to reach as many parts of the sector as possible. This takes us well beyond the £59 million consequential received from the UK Government in July highlighting the value we put on the sector’s contribution to Welsh life and the wider economy \- and that must continue in the future.
> 
> 
> "We recognise that we’ll need the professionalism, experience, enthusiasm and vison of these professionals to help us come together and rebuild after the public health crisis has abated.


Finance Minister Rebecca Evans said:



> “We recognise and understand the financial challenges that the sector is continuing to face. The additional funding we are announcing today will boost the level of support that we have already provided to help the industry to survive these unprecedented times and recover, post\-pandemic.


The £7 million Freelancer Fund has already supported 2,800 freelancers with a grant of £2,500 each. This additional funding will support a further 1,400 people.


To date more than £30 million has been distributed through the Welsh Government’s Cultural Recovery Fund, with the Arts Council of Wales allocating a £20 million package for the sector last month.

Yn dilyn y galw uchel am gyllid ar draws y sectorau celfyddydol a diwylliannol bydd £10\.7 miliwn ar gael i gefnogi sefydliadau ac unigolion yn ystod y pandemig, gan olygu bod cyfanswm y pecyn cyllido sydd ar gael drwy’r Gronfa Adferiad Diwylliannol yn £63\.7miliwn.


Mae hyn yn ychwanegol i becyn portffolio gwerth £18 miliwn a ddarparwyd ym mis Ebrill gan Lywodraeth Cymru, Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, Cymru Greadigol a Chwaraeon Cymru.  


Daw y cyhoeddiad wrth i nifer o sefydliadau ac unigolion elwa eisoes o’r Gronfa Adferiad Diwylliannol.


Gan elwa o'r Gronfa Llawrydd, dywedodd Roanna Lewis, actores, awdur a chyfarwyddwr o Rhondda Cynon Taf:



> "Dw’n hynod falch i fod wedi cael cynnig Grant Cronfa Llawrydd. Ar ôl misoedd o boeni pe gallwn gynnal fy hun, bydd y grant hwn yn golygu y gallaf barhau i aros ym maes gwaith yr wyf wedi hyfforddi ynddo ac wedi gweithio ynddo'n broffesiynol ers 6 blynedd. Mae storïau, adloniant a'r celfyddydau hyd yn oed yn bwysicach nawr nag yr oeddent o'r blaen ac mae'r holl elfennau hyn yn cael eu creu gan weithwyr llawrydd.


Dywedodd Eve Hughes Butterly, dawnswraig proffesiynol, perfformwraig ac athrawes/ hyfforddwraig o Sir y Fflint:



> "Mae effaith COVID\-19 wedi bod yn wirioneddol ddinistriol i rhywbeth sydd yn rhan mor bwysig o’m bywyd. Y diwydiant celfyddydau creadigol a pherfformio yw fy ngyrfa ac felly yn rhan enfawr o'm hunaniaeth. Mae dawnsio, canu a pherfformio'n fyw yn wefr ac yn dod a llawer o lawenydd. Mae’r gronfa wedi fy ngalluogi i gadw'r ffydd bod yr hyn a wnaf fel perfformiwr ac athro yn ganmoladwy, yn werthfawr ac yn werth ei gadw'n fyw.


Dywedodd Henry Widdicombe, Gŵyl Gomedi Machynlleth:



> "Yn syml, mae’r gefnogaeth oddi wrth y Gronfa Adferiad Diwylliannol gan Lywodraeth Cymru, wedi golygu’r  gwahaniaeth rhwng ein sefydliad yn goroesi'r pandemig neu beidio. Collodd y celfyddydau eu gallu i weithredu dros nos yn gynharach eleni, ac mae'r ffydd a roddwyd ynom drwy'r gronfa hon yn golygu y byddwn yn gallu dychwelyd pan fydd yn ddiogel ac yn gyfreithlon i wneud hynny, ac yn rhoi'r gallu inni gynllunio ar gyfer y dyfodol pan y gellir cynnal digwyddiadau eto.
> 
> 
> "Rydym yn croesawu'r holl gefnogaeth i'r celfyddydau yng Nghymru ac rydym yn gobeithio y gall y sector oroesi hyn diolch i raddau helaeth i’r cronfeydd hyn.


Bydd y cyllid ychwanegol hwn yn cael ei dargedu tuag at nifer fawr o geisiadau, sydd eisoes wedi eu derbyn gan Lywodraeth Cymru – gan gefnogi sefydliadau yn y sectorau diwylliannol, creadigol, digwyddiadau a threftadaeth – i sicrhau bod yr arian hwn yn cyrraedd mwy o rannau o’r sector cyn gynted â phosibl.


Caiff y cyllid ei ddefnyddio i agor trydydd cam y Gronfa Gweithwyr Llawrydd llwyddiannus fydd yn gweld £3\.5 miliwn pellach ar gael ledled y wlad ar draws pob ardal awdurdod lleol o 10 y bore dydd Llun 23 Tachwedd i weithwyr llawrydd yn y sector creadigol.


Meddai’r Dirprwy Weinidog Diwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth, yr Arglwydd Elis \-Thomas:



> “Yng Nghymru, rydym am wneud popeth bosib i sicrhau bod ein celfyddydau, diwylliant a chreadigrwydd yn goroesi’r pandemig hwn. I gydnabod pa mor galed y cafodd y sector ei daro, rydym yn buddsoddi £10\.7miliwn yn ychwanegol i gyrraedd cynifer o rannau’r sector â phosibl. Mae hyn yn mynd â ni ymhell y tu hwnt i’r £59 miliwn o gyllid canlyniadol a gafwyd gan Lywodraeth y DU ym mis Gorffennaf, gan dynnu sylw at y gwerth a roddwn i gyfraniad y sector at fywyd Cymru a’r economi ehangach – ac mae’n rhaid i hynny barhau yn y dyfodol."
> 
> 
> "Rydym yn cydnabod y bydd arnom angen proffesiynoldeb, profiad, brwdfrydedd a gweledigaeth y gweithwyr proffesiynol hyn i helpu inni ddod ynghyd ac ail\-adeiladu wedi i’r argyfwng iechyd cyhoeddus hwn ddod i ben.


Meddai Rebecca Evans, y Gweinidog Cyllid:



> “Rydyn ni’n cydnabod ac yn deall yr heriau ariannol y mae’r sector yn parhau i’w hwynebu.  Bydd y cyllid ychwanegol hwn yr ydy ni’n ei gyhoeddi heddiw yn hybu lefel y cymorth rydy ni wedi ei ddarparu eisoes i helpu’r diwydiant oroesi yn y cyfnod digynsail hwn a dod at ei hun wedi’r pandemig.


Mae’r Gronfa Gweithwyr Llawrydd gwerth £7 miliwn eisoes wedi cefnogi 2,800 o weithwyr llawrydd gyda grant o £2,500 yr un.  Bydd y cyllid ychwanegol hwn yn cefnogi 1,400 o bobl yn ychwanegol.


Hyd yn hyn mae mwy na £30 miliwn wedi ei ddosbarthu drwy Gronfa Adferiad Diwylliannol Llywodraeth Cymru, gyda Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru yn neilltuo pecyn £20 miliwn i’r sector y mis diwethaf.
