Launched in July, the scheme will see more than 500 people turning 18 and leaving care in Wales being offered £1600 each month (before tax) for two years to support them as they make the transition to adult life. 


It is hoped the pilot will set care leavers on a path to live healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.


The £20 million pilot, which will run for three years, will be evaluated to carefully examine its effect on the lives of those involved.


In the midst of a cost\-of\-living crisis, it is hoped the lessons learnt from the pilot scheme can benefit future generations to come by helping them overcome barriers they face starting adult life. This could benefit them and wider society.


After launching the scheme with the First Minister and Deputy Minister for Social Services Julie Morgan, Social Justice Minister Jane Hutt and the Deputy Minister met with a number of young people benefitting from the pilot at Conwy Business Centre earlier today (Friday, 28 October) as part of National Care Leavers Week.



> “It has been fantastic to hear about how the pilot scheme has already impacted the young lives of those taking part in it,” she said.
> 
> 
> “Our ambition for the scheme is that it will allow the young people who are benefitting to make their own choices, whether that means they are able to choose where they live, what jobs they can apply for, whether to continue studying or deciding to go and travel the world.  The life choices of looked after children should not be determined by the circumstances of their childhood.
> 
> 
> “It is heartening to hear how many have already received support to take the first steps to achieve this and it puts them in good stead for the future.”


She added:



> “We want them to have independence as they get older, and by giving them a helping hand as they start their adult life we can improve their chances of doing so.
> 
> 
> “By providing financial stability to a generation of young people facing huge barriers to reach their full potential, we are giving them the tools to overcome them and thrive.”


Those taking part in the pilot will also receive individual advice and support to help them manage their finances and develop their financial and budgeting skills.


Deputy Minister for Social Services Julie Morgan said: “It has been heartening to hear from the young people the impact the pilot scheme has had on their lives.



> “We’ve learnt a lot from meeting with them today and we appreciate them sharing their thoughts with us
> 
> 
> “We are committed to providing support to the most vulnerable in our society, many of whom have grown up without a support network through their formative years.
> 
> 
> “We hope this scheme, as well as the advice and information available to them through it, will give them the confidence and strong foundations to achieve their dreams.”


Local authorities will play a key role in supporting them throughout the pilot. Voices from Care Cymru will also work with the young people to give them advice on wellbeing, education, employment and help them plan their future after the pilot.


Emma Phipps\-Magill, of Voices from Care Cymru, also attended the meeting and said:



> “We have already seen the pilot have a positive impact on young care leavers as they adapt to having financial independence.
> 
> 
> “We are still at a very early stage of the pilot, but they have grasped the opportunity with both hands and have already made progress with many of their goals.”

Bydd y cynllun, a gafodd ei lansio ym mis Gorffennaf, yn helpu dros 500 o bobl ifanc sy’n troi'n 18 oed ac yn gadael gofal yng Nghymru drwy gynnig £1600 bob mis (cyn treth) am ddwy flynedd i'w cefnogi wrth iddynt bontio i fywyd fel oedolyn.


Y gobaith yw y bydd y peilot yn gosod y rhai sy'n gadael gofal ar lwybr i fywydau iach, hapus a boddhaus.


Bydd y cynllun peilot gwerth £20 miliwn, a fydd yn parhau am dair blynedd, yn cael ei werthuso er mwyn edrych yn ofalus ar ei effaith ar fywydau'r rhai sy'n cymryd rhan.


Yng nghanol argyfwng costau byw, y gobaith yw y gall y gwersi a ddysgwyd o'r cynllun peilot fod o fudd i genedlaethau'r dyfodol drwy eu helpu i oresgyn y rhwystrau y maent yn eu hwynebu wrth ddechrau bywyd fel oedolion. Gallai hyn fod yn fanteisiol iddyn nhw a'r gymdeithas ehangach.


Ar ôl lansio'r cynllun gyda'r Prif Weinidog a Julie Morgan, y Dirprwy Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, fe wnaeth Jane Hutt, y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol, a'r Dirprwy Weinidog, gwrdd â nifer o bobl ifanc sy’n elwa ar y peilot yng Nghanolfan Fusnes Conwy yn gynharach heddiw (dydd Gwener, 28 Hydref) fel rhan o Wythnos Genedlaethol y Rhai sy'n Gadael Gofal.



> "Mae wedi bod yn wych clywed am sut mae'r cynllun peilot eisoes wedi effeithio ar fywydau’r rhai sy'n cymryd rhan ynddo," meddai.
> 
> 
> "Ein huchelgais ar gyfer y cynllun yw y bydd yn caniatáu i'r bobl ifanc hyn wneud eu dewisiadau eu hunain, boed hynny'n golygu dewis lle maen nhw'n byw, pa swyddi y gallant ymgeisio amdanynt, p’un ai parhau i astudio neu benderfynu mynd a theithio'r byd. Ni ddylai dewisiadau bywyd plant sy'n derbyn gofal gael eu penderfynu gan amgylchiadau eu plentyndod.
> 
> 
> "Mae'n galonogol clywed faint sydd eisoes wedi derbyn cefnogaeth i gymryd y camau cyntaf i gyflawni hyn ac mae'n eu rhoi mewn sefyllfa dda ar gyfer y dyfodol."


Ychwanegodd:



> "Rydym eisiau iddynt gael annibyniaeth wrth fynd yn hŷn, a thrwy roi help llaw wrth iddynt ddechrau eu bywyd fel oedolyn gallwn wella eu siawns o wneud hynny.
> 
> 
> "Drwy roi sefydlogrwydd ariannol i genhedlaeth o bobl ifanc sy'n wynebu rhwystrau mawr i gyrraedd eu potensial llawn, rydym yn rhoi'r offer iddynt eu goresgyn a ffynnu."


Dywedodd y Dirprwy Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Julie Morgan: "Mae wedi bod yn galonogol clywed gan y bobl ifanc yr effaith mae'r cynllun peilot wedi'i gael ar eu bywydau.



> “Rydyn ni wedi dysgu llawer o gwrdd â nhw heddiw ac rydyn ni'n eu gwerthfawrogi nhw'n rhannu eu meddyliau gyda ni
> 
> 
> "Rydym wedi ymrwymo i ddarparu cefnogaeth i'r rhai mwyaf agored i niwed yn ein cymdeithas, ac mae llawer ohonynt wedi tyfu i fyny heb rwydwaith cymorth drwy eu blynyddoedd ffurfiannol.
> 
> 
> "Rydym yn gobeithio y bydd y cynllun hwn, yn ogystal â'r cyngor a'r wybodaeth sydd ar gael iddyn nhw drwyddo, yn rhoi'r hyder a'r sylfeini cryf iddyn nhw gyflawni eu breuddwydion."


Bydd y rhai sy'n cymryd rhan yn y cynllun peilot hefyd yn derbyn cyngor a chefnogaeth unigol i'w helpu i reoli eu cyllid a datblygu eu sgiliau ariannol a chyllidebu.


Bydd awdurdodau lleol yn chwarae rhan allweddol wrth eu cefnogi drwy gydol y peilot. Bydd Voices from Care Cymru hefyd yn gweithio gyda'r bobl ifanc i roi cyngor iddynt ar les, addysg a chyflogaeth a'u helpu i gynllunio eu dyfodol ar ôl y peilot.


Roedd Emma Phipps\-Magill o Voices from Care Cymru hefyd yn bresennol yn y cyfarfod, a dywedodd:



> "Rydym eisoes wedi gweld bod y peilot yn cael effaith gadarnhaol ar bobl ifanc sy'n gadael gofal wrth iddynt addasu i gael annibyniaeth ariannol.
> 
> 
> "Rydym yn dal i fod yn nyddiau cynnar y peilot, ond maent wedi bachu ar y cyfle ac eisoes wedi gwneud cynnydd gyda llawer o'u nodau."
