Bydd y cynllun, a fydd yn cael ei gyllido am y tair blynedd nesaf, yn cynyddu’r cyfleoedd i ofalwyr di\-dâl gymryd seibiant o’u rôl fel gofalwyr.


Bydd yn cefnogi gofalwyr di\-dâl yng Nghymru i fwynhau cyfnodau rheolaidd i ffwrdd o’u cyfrifoldebau gofalu, mewn ymdrech i atal lludded a rhoi hwb i’w lles meddyliol a chorfforol. 


Bydd yn eu helpu i gymryd rhan mewn hobïau neu weithgareddau, gan gynnwys cyfle i ymweld â’r gampfa, dysgu sgìl newydd neu ymlacio drwy fynd am dro neu ddarllen llyfr.


Gallai seibiant byr hefyd fod yn amser oddi cartref gyda theulu neu ffrindiau a gallai hefyd olygu treulio amser gyda’r person y maent yn ei gefnogi ac yn gofalu amdano.


Drwy gydol dwy flynedd diwethaf y pandemig mae llawer o ofalwyr wedi cael trafferth cymryd seibiant i’w helpu i ymdopi â’r pwysau sy’n deillio o’u cyfrifoldebau gofalu.


Mae’r cyfyngiadau wedi cyfyngu ar ble y gallant fynd a’r hyn y gallant ei wneud, a hefyd wedi golygu nad oedd gofalwyr yn gallu cael cymorth gan deulu a ffrindiau, gan arwain at flinder pellach ac, mewn rhai achosion, eu hymestyn bron i’r eithaf.


Gall cymryd seibiant, boed hynny drwy gymorth, gwasanaeth neu drwy gael profiad, helpu gofalwyr di\-dâl i ymdopi â phwysau a straen, gan helpu i roi gorffwys y mae mawr ei angen iddynt.


Gall hefyd eu helpu i fwynhau gweithgareddau nad ydynt wedi gallu eu gwneud, cwblhau tasgau eraill o ddydd i ddydd a dal i fyny â theulu a ffrindiau.


Canfu arolwg o fwy na 700 o ofalwyr di\-dâl fod 7 o bob 10 gofalwr wedi methu â chymryd unrhyw seibiant ers mis Mawrth y llynedd. 


Canfu arolwg arall o 1,500 o ofalwyr di\-dâl hefyd fod mwy na hanner wedi gorfod rhoi’r gorau i hobïau neu ddiddordebau personol oherwydd eu rôl fel gofalwyr.


Bydd y cynllun seibiant byr newydd hwn, a gaiff ei gydgysylltu gan sefydliad trydydd sector sy’n gweithio gydag eraill ar draws y sector cyhoeddus a’r trydydd sector, yn galluogi mwy o ofalwyr di\-dâl ledled Cymru i gael y seibiant cywir ar eu cyfer nhw, a hynny ar yr adeg iawn.


Dywedodd y Dirprwy Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol Julie Morgan:



> Rwy’n gwybod bod llawer o ofalwyr di\-dâl wedi cael trafferth cael seibiant byr yn ystod y pandemig a sut mae hyn wedi effeithio arnynt.
> 
> 
> Rydym yn buddsoddi yn y cynllun seibiant hwn gan ein bod yn cydnabod pa mor bwysig yw’r seibiannau byr hyn o’u cyfrifoldebau gofalu, gan gefnogi eu lles corfforol a meddyliol, a sut y gallant gael effaith gadarnhaol ar eu bywydau.
> 
> 
> Rydym am ei gwneud yn haws i ofalwyr di\-dâl o bob oed ledled Cymru gael seibiant a thrwy gydweithio credwn mai dyma’r ffordd fwyaf effeithiol o wneud hynny.

The scheme, which will benefit from funding for the next three years, will increase opportunities for unpaid carers to take a break from their caring role.


It will support unpaid carers in Wales to enjoy regular periods away from their caring responsibilities, in an effort to prevent burnout and boost their mental and physical wellbeing. 


It will help them to take part in hobbies or activities, including a chance to visit the gym, learn a new skill or de\-stress by going for a walk or reading a book.


A short break could also be a trip away from home with family or friends and could also involve spending time with the person they support and care for.


Throughout the last two years of the pandemic many carers have struggled to take breaks to help them cope with the pressures of their caring responsibilities.


Restrictions during lockdown have limited where they can go and what they can do, and also meant carers were unable to access support from family and friends, leading to further fatigue and, in some cases, pushing them near to breaking point.


Taking a break, whether through support, a service or having an experience, can help unpaid carers cope with stresses and strains, helping to provide much needed rest, enjoy activities they have been unable to do and complete other day to day tasks.


It can also help them to catch\-up with family and friends.


A survey of more than 700 unpaid carers found 7 in 10 carers have been unable to take any breaks since March last year.  


Another survey of 1,500 unpaid carers also found more than half had to give up on hobbies or personal interests because of their caring role.


This new short break scheme, which will be co\-ordinated by a third sector organisation working with others across the public and third sector, will enable more unpaid carers across Wales to have access to the right break for them, at the right time.


Deputy Minister for Social Services Julie Morgan said:



> I know a lot of unpaid carers have struggled to access short breaks during the pandemic and how this has impacted on them.
> 
> 
> We’re investing in this respite and breaks scheme as we recognise how important these short breaks are from their caring responsibilities, supporting both their physical and mental wellbeing, and how they can have a positive impact on their lives.
> 
> 
> We want to make it easier for unpaid carers of all ages across Wales to access a break and by working together we believe this is the most effective way to do so.
