Yn dilyn y cyhoeddiad mae Jane Hutt, y Dirprwy Weinidog a’r Prif Chwip, a Julie Morgan, y Dirprwy Weinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, wedi anfon llythyr ar y cyd i'r Swyddfa Gartref yn gofyn iddynt sicrhau bod y cyllid hwn yn cyrraedd elusennau yng Nghymru.


Meddai Jane Hutt:



> "Mae'r cyllid hwn wedi’i anelu at elusennau mwy o faint sydd mewn trallod ariannol oherwydd COVID\-19\. Rwy'n croesawu cyllid a fydd yn helpu elusennau ar draws Cymru i gefnogi plant a phobl ifanc agored i niwed sy'n byw gydag effaith trais domestig, camfanteisio rhywiol a chamdriniaeth.
> 
> 
> "Yn anffodus, fodd bynnag, mae'r dull gweithredu a gymerwyd yn golygu nad yw elusennau o Gymru'n gallu gwneud cais am y cyllid hwn eu hunain. Hoffwn gael sicrwydd bod elusennau cenedlaethol sy'n gweithio yng Nghymru'n cael cefnogaeth i'w galluogi i barhau i weithredu yng Nghymru, neu i ehangu eu gweithrediadau i Gymru.
> 
> 
> "Rydym wedi bod mewn trafodaethau â'r Swyddfa Gartref ers dechrau mis Ebrill, a chawsom wybod y byddai'r gronfa ar gael i elusennau cenedlaethol sydd naill ai’n elusennau yng Nghymru, yn elusennau yn Lloegr neu'n elusennau sy'n gweithredu yng Nghymru a Lloegr.
> 
> 
> "Fodd bynnag, oherwydd mai elusennau cenedlaethol sydd â throsiant blynyddol o dros £40 miliwn sy'n gymwys i wneud cais, mae'r Adran Addysg wedi pennu'r meini prawf ar gyfer y gronfa mewn ffordd sy'n gwahardd elusennau yng Nghymru i bob pwrpas. Hyd y gwyddom ni, nid oes gan unrhyw o'r elusennau yng Nghymru sy'n cefnogi plant agored i niwed drosiant o fwy na £40 miliwn.
> 
> 
> "Mae'r gwahaniaethau yn y cyd\-destun deddfwriaethol, y cymorth ariannol a'r ddarpariaeth o ran gwasanaethau rhwng y ddwy wlad yn cael eu colli yn y dull gweithredu hwn. Caiff hyn ei ddwysáu gan y ffaith bod ychydig iawn o elusennau cymwys yng Nghymru yn gweithio ar lefel Cymru gyfan.”


Meddai Julie Morgan:



> "Rwy'n bryderus iawn y gallai’r meini prawf a bennwyd olygu na fydd plant a phobl ifanc Cymru'n cael unrhyw fantais wirioneddol o’r cyllid hwn. Rydym eisiau sicrwydd y bydd plant a phobl ifanc o bob rhan o'n gwlad yn cael budd ohono.
> 
> 
> "Rwy'n bryderus hefyd na fyddwn yn gweld unrhyw geisiadau am gyllid gan elusennau nes bod penderfyniadau cymeradwyo wedi'u gwneud. Byddai hyn yn ein hatal rhag gallu darparu cymorth ar gyfer gweithgareddau arfaethedig neu wybod p'un a yw’r cynigion yn dyblygu neu'n torri ar draws gwaith sydd eisoes yn mynd rhagddo.
> 
> 
> "Mae gan Gymru bolisi a fframwaith deddfwriaethol ar wahân ar gyfer ymateb i blant a phobl ifanc sydd mewn perygl, ac mae angen i ni allu sicrhau bod y prosiectau pwysig hyn yn cael eu cysoni'n gywir. Bydd yn hanfodol bod unrhyw sefydliadau sy’n cael cyllid yn deall hyn, fel eu bod yn ymgysylltu'n effeithiol â Llywodraeth Cymru a phartneriaid diogelu.
> 
> 
> "Mae angen i'n plant a’n pobl ifanc mwyaf difreintiedig allu cael budd o'r gronfa hon. Rydym ni, a Jane Hutt, yn galw ar y Swyddfa Gartref i ailystyried yr amodau sy'n gysylltiedig â'r cyllid hwn."

Following the announcement, the Deputy Minister and Chief Whip, Jane Hutt, and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services, Julie Morgan have issued a joint letter to the Home Office and are calling for funding to reach charities in Wales.


Jane Hutt said:



> “This funding is aimed at larger charities who are in financial distress due to COVID\-19\. I welcome funding which will help charities across Wales to support vulnerable children and young people who are living with the impacts of domestic violence, sexual exploitation and abuse.
> 
> 
> “Unfortunately, however, it seems that the approach taken rules out Welsh\-based charities from applying for this funding in their own right. I want assurance that national charities operating in Wales are being supported to enable them to remain operational in Wales, or to extend their operations into Wales.
> 
> 
> “We have been in discussion with the Home Office since early April, and were told the fund would be open to national charities that are either Welsh charities, English charities, or charities that operate both in England and Wales.”
> 
> 
> “However, as only national charities with an annual turnover of over £40m are eligible to apply, DfE has set the criteria for applications in a way which effectively bars charities in Wales. To the best of our knowledge, there are no charities in Wales which support vulnerable children and have an operating turnover of more than £40 million.
> 
> 
> “The differences in the legislative landscape, funding support and service provision between the 2 countries is lost by this high\-bar approach. This is exacerbated by the fact that few eligible charities operate in Wales on an all\-Wales basis.”


Julie Morgan said:



> “I am greatly concerned that due to the criteria set, Wales’ children and young people may not see any real benefits from this funding. We want assurances that vulnerable children and young people right across our country will benefit.
> 
> 
> “I am further concerned that we will not see any proposals from charities for funding support until after decisions on approval are made. This would prevent us from being able to provide government support on proposed activities or from knowing whether any proposals duplicate or cut across work already underway.
> 
> 
> “Wales has a separate legislative framework and policy for responding to children and young people at risk, and we need to be able to ensure these important projects are correctly aligned. It will be vital that any organisations that are funded fully understand this, so they engage with Welsh Government and safeguarding partners in an effective way.
> 
> 
> “Our most disadvantaged children and young people need to see the benefits of this fund. Together with Jane Hutt, we are calling on the Home Office to reconsider the conditions relating to this funding.”
