Mae'r gronfa newydd, PDG Mynediad, yn targedu dysgwyr sy'n gymwys am brydau ysgol am ddim neu blant sy'n derbyn gofal ac sy'n mynd i ddosbarth derbyn neu Flwyddyn 7 ym mis Medi ac yn  4 neu'n 11  oed mewn ysgolion arbennig, Unedau Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig neu Unedau Cyfeirio Disgyblion.

 Bydd y gronfa hefyd yn cynnwys cyllid am offer ar gyfer teithiau ysgol y tu allan i oriau, gan gynnwys dysgu yn yr awyr agored, ac offer ar gyfer gweithgareddau o fewn y cwricwlwm, megis dylunio a thechnoleg.

 Mae Kirsty Williams yr Ysgrifennydd Addysg a Debbie Wilcox Arweinydd CLlLC wedi annog rhieni/gofalwyr plant cymwys i drafod â'u cyngor heddiw ynghylch gwneud cais am y cyllid newydd.

 Meddai Kirsty Williams:

 
> "Rydym am i'n disgyblion i gyd gael yr un cyfleoedd \- boed y tu mewn neu y tu allan i'r ysgol \- ac mae PDG Mynediad yn gwneud yn siŵr bod hynny'n digwydd.
> 
>  "Rydym yn gwybod y gall gostau gwisg ysgol, offer chwaraeon ac offer ar gyfer gweithgareddau eraill fod yn ddrud, felly mae'n bwysig iawn bod rhieni a gofalwyr yn ymwybodol o'r gronfa newydd hon ac yn gwybod ble i wneud cais.
> 
>  "Os ydych yn credu eich bod yn gymwys ar gyfer PDG Mynediad yna trafodwch â'ch cyngor heddiw a gallech dderbyn £125 yn fuan i helpu gyda'r costau hyn."

 Meddai y Cynghorydd Debbie Wilcox (Casnewydd), Llefarydd CLlLC ar Addysg:

 
> "Hoffwn annog unrhyw riant neu ofalwr sy'n credu eu bod yn gymwys ar gyfer y gronfa hon gysylltu â'u hawdurdod lleol.
> 
>  "Mae awdurdodau lleol am gefnogi pob disgybl i elwa o'r un cyfleoedd, a dyna pam y bydd CLlLC yn edrych ymlaen at barhau i drafod gyda Llywodraeth Cymru i sicrhau bod arian mor bwysig  yn cael ei gynnal a'i ddiogelu."

 Education Secretary Kirsty Williams and WLGA Leader Debbie Wilcox have urged parents/carers of eligible children to speak to their council today about applying for the new funding.

> “We want all our pupils to have access to the same opportunities – whether in or outside of school \- and PDG Access is about making sure that happens.
> 
>  “We know that the costs of school uniform, sports kit and equipment for other activities can all add up so it’s really important that parents and carers are aware of this new fund and know where to apply.
> 
>  “If you think you’re eligible for PDG Access then speak to your council today and you could soon receive £125 to help with these costs.”

> “I would encourage any parents or carers who think they’re eligible for this fund to contact their local authority.
> 
>  “Local authorities want to support all our pupils to benefit from the same opportunities, which is why WLGA will look forward to continuing discussions with Welsh Government to ensure that such vital funds are maintained and protected.”
