The Welsh Government has expanded its support to help youth work organisations respond to an increased demand in services, higher operational costs and a shift in the support needed by young people as a result of the cost of living crisis.


Youth work organisations help young people live rewarding lives, providing places and relationships within which they can enjoy themselves, feel secure, supported and valued. For many vulnerable young people, these organisations offer safe places with trusted adults to listen. The unique opportunities offered by youth work can support young people through significant developments in their lives and develop their knowledge and skills.


18 organisations across Wales, including Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs of Wales, Young Farmers Clubs Wales, West Rhyl Young People’s Project and Newport MIND, will receive more than £1 million in extra funding through the Strategic Voluntary Youth Work Organisation Grant for 2023\-25, bringing the total allocated since the grant began in April 2022 to more than £2\.9 million. The Welsh Government will provide over £13m of direct funding to support youth work services this year – over three times the equivalent sum in 2018\.


The Council for Wales of Voluntary Youth Services (CWVYS) will receive an extra £180,000 to enable them to pilot a Voluntary Youth Work Organisation Support Scheme, providing small grants of up to £7,500 per organisation to protect the services they offer to young people in their communities.


GISDA is an organisation supporting vulnerable young people in north Wales. They provide care leaver Vex with accommodation. Vex is supported by a keyworker and a personal adviser to develop their independent living skills, manage their tenancy, and attend college. They also benefit from the Welsh Government’s basic income pilot. Support from a youth work organisation has helped Vex enjoy taking part in the performing arts, appearing on Welsh language soap opera Rownd a Rownd. Vex will also play a lead role in a production by GISDA and youth theatre group Frân Wen.


On Tuesday, a Youth Work Wales event took place to celebrate Youth Work Week and show the action being taken by the sector.


The Minister for Education and Welsh Language, Jeremy Miles, said:



> Youth work plays a vital role in providing young people with safe environments where they supported to reach their full potential. The cost of living crisis means that youth work services are needed now more than ever. I am pleased to be able to provide this funding to organisations that have the power to change young people’s lives.


Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip, Jane Hutt said:



> The life chances of looked after children should not be determined by the circumstances of their childhood. It is fantastic to hear how our basic income pilot is allowing young people like Vex the opportunity to establish their independence and reach their full potential.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ehangu ei chymorth i helpu sefydliadau gwaith ieuenctid i ymateb i alw mwy am wasanaethau, costau gweithredu uwch, a newid yn y gefnogaeth sydd ei hangen ar bobl ifanc yn sgil yr argyfwng costau byw.


Mae sefydliadau gwaith ieuenctid yn helpu pobl ifanc i fyw bywydau sy’n dod â bodlonrwydd, gan ddarparu llefydd a chydberthnasau er mwyn iddynt allu mwynhau, teimlo’n ddiogel, a theimlo’u bod yn cael eu cefnogi a’u gwerthfawrogi. I lawer o bobl ifanc sy’n agored i niwed, mae’r sefydliadau hyn yn cynnig llefydd diogel sydd ag oedolion dibynadwy i wrando arnynt. Gall y cyfleoedd unigryw a gynigir gan waith ieuenctid gefnogi pobl ifanc drwy ddatblygiadau mawr yn eu bywydau a datblygu eu gwybodaeth a’u sgiliau.


Bydd 18 o sefydliadau ledled Cymru, gan gynnwys Clybiau Bechgyn a Merched Cymru, Clybiau Ffermwyr Ifanc Cymru, Prosiect Pobl Ifanc Gorllewin Y Rhyl a MIND Casnewydd, yn cael mwy na £1 miliwn o gyllid ychwanegol drwy’r Cynllun Grant Strategol ar gyfer Sefydliadau Gwaith Ieuenctid Gwirfoddol ar gyfer 2023 i 2025, sy’n dod â’r cyfanswm a ddyrannwyd ers i’r grant ddechrau ym mis Ebrill 2022 i fwy na £2\.9 miliwn. Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn darparu dros £13m o gyllid uniongyrchol i gefnogi gwasanaethau gwaith ieuenctid eleni, dros dair gwaith y swm cyfatebol yn 2018\.


Bydd Cyngor Cymreig Gwasanaethau Ieuenctid Gwirfoddol yn derbyn £180,000 ychwanegol i’w galluogi i dreialu Cynllun Cymorth i Sefydliadau Gwaith Ieuenctid Gwirfoddol, gan ddarparu grantiau bach o hyd at £7,500 y sefydliad i ddiogelu’r gwasanaethau a gynigiant i bobl ifanc yn eu cymunedau.


Mae GISDA yn sefydliad sy’n cefnogi pobl ifanc agored i niwed yn y Gogledd. Maen nhw’n darparu llety i Vex, person ifanc sydd wedi gadael gofal, yn eu hostel, Hafan. Caiff Vex gefnogaeth gweithiwr allweddol a chynghorydd personol i ddatblygu sgiliau byw’n annibynnol, rheoli tenantiaeth a mynychu’r coleg. Mae hefyd yn elwa o gynllun peilot incwm sylfaenol Llywodraeth Cymru. Mae cymorth gan sefydliad gwaith ieuenctid wedi helpu Vex i fwynhau cymryd rhan yn y celfyddydau perfformio, ac mae wedi ymddangos ar opera sebon Rownd a Rownd. Bydd Vex hefyd yn chwarae un o brif rolau cynhyrchiad gan GISDA a grŵp theatr ieuenctid Frân Wen.


Ar ddydd Mawrth, cynhaliwyd digwyddiad Gwaith Ieuenctid Cymru i ddathlu Wythnos Gwaith Ieuenctid a dangos y camau sy'n cael eu cymryd gan y sector.


Dywedodd Jeremy Miles:



> Mae gwaith ieuenctid yn chwarae rôl hollbwysig wrth ddarparu amgylcheddau diogel i bobl ifanc lle cân nhw eu cefnogi i gyflawni eu potensial. Mae’r argyfwng costau byw yn golygu bod angen gwasanaethau gwaith ieuenctid nawr yn fwy nag erioed. Dw i’n falch o allu darparu’r cyllid hwn i sefydliadau sydd â’r pŵer i newid bywydau pobl ifanc.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol a’r Prif Chwip, Jane Hutt:



> Ddylai cyfleoedd bywyd plant sy’n derbyn gofal ddim cael eu penderfynu gan amgylchiadau eu plentyndod. Mae’n wych clywed sut mae ein cynllun peilot incwm sylfaenol yn rhoi’r cyfle i bobl ifanc fel Vex sefydlu eu hannibyniaeth a chyflawni eu potensial.
