Cyhoeddodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Lywodraeth Leol a Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus, Alun Davies heddiw bod £150,000 ar gael o Gronfa Bontio'r UE i ariannu ymchwil i'r ffordd y gallai proses Brexit effeithio ar wasanaethau cymunedol yng Nghymru, a helpu'r sector i gynllunio ar gyfer pob sefyllfa bosib. 

Bydd yr ymchwil yn helpu grwpiau cymunedol i sicrhau bod unrhyw gynlluniau a pharatoadau wrth gefn yn gymesur, ac yn rhoi sicrwydd i'r sector a'r cymunedau sy'n manteisio ar y gwasanaethau.

Cyhoeddodd Alun Davies y byddwn yn gweithio gyda Chyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru i gyflawni'r prosiect, gan ddweud:


> "Beth bynnag fydd ffurf Brexit yn y pen draw, bydd ymadael â’r Undeb Ewropeaidd yn amharu ar sawl maes. Dyna pam rydyn ni wedi bod yn gweithio'n galed i gynllunio ar gyfer pob canlyniad posib.
> 
> “Wrth i ddyddiad Brexit agosáu, bydd rhaid i gyrff trydydd sector feddwl yn ofalus sut i ymateb i'r newidiadau sy'n codi a darparu gwasanaethau hanfodol i'n cymunedau. Rydyn ni am sicrhau bod gwasanaethau cyhoeddus Cymru'n parhau i ddarparu'r safonau uchaf posib i bobl Cymru ar ôl i ni ymadael â'r Undeb Ewropeaidd, ac fe fydd y cyllid hwn yn helpu i sicrhau hynny."

Dywedodd Prif Weithredwr Cyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru, Ruth Marks:


> "Rydyn ni'n falch iawn o gael y cyllid hwn. Mae llawer o ansicrwydd ynghylch Brexit a'r goblygiadau posibl i'r grwpiau a'r cymunedau mwyaf agored i niwed yng Nghymru. Bydd y cyllid hwn yn ein helpu i ddeall dibyniaeth Cymru ar y trydydd sector i ddarparu gwasanaethau cymunedol hanfodol bwysig, a'r ffordd y gallai ymadael â'r Undeb Ewropeaidd effeithio ar y gwasanaethau sy'n cael eu darparu i'r cymunedau mwyaf anghenus."

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn chwilio am ffyrdd newydd o gefnogi sefydliadau partner trwy broses Brexit, ac ystyried pa gyngor, canllawiau a chymorth ariannol y gellid eu darparu i'w helpu i ddygymod â'r newid hwn.

Cyhoeddwyd Cronfa Bontio'r UE ym mis Ionawr fel rhan o'n cynlluniau ar gyfer Brexit i helpu busnesau a gwasanaethau cyhoeddus i baratoi at y newidiadau sylweddol sydd o'n blaenau. Bydd y Gronfa yn darparu cyfuniad o gymorth ariannol a benthyciadau ac yn cefnogi’r gwaith o ddarparu cyngor i fusnesau a chyrff sector cyhoeddus. Bydd hyn yn cynnwys cyngor technegol a masnachol, cyngor ar allforio a chyngor sy’n benodol ar gyfer sectorau.

Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services Alun Davies today announced £150,000 has been made available from the European Transition Fund (ETF) to fund research into how the Brexit process could impact on community services in Wales and help the sector plan for all eventualities. 


The research will help community groups ensure any contingency planning and preparations are proportionate, as well as act to reassure both to the sector and to communities that benefit from these services.


Alun Davies, who announced we would be working with the Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) to deliver the project said, 



> “Whatever form of Brexit we end up with, leaving the EU will cause disruption. That is why we have been working hard to plan for all possible outcomes.



> “As we approach Brexit, third sector bodies will also need to think carefully about how they respond to emerging changes and deliver vital services to our communities. We all want to ensure public services in Wales continue to deliver the highest possible standards to the people of Wales after we leave the EU and this funding can go some way towards that end.”


Ruth Marks, Chief Executive of the WVCA said,



> “We’re really pleased to have secured this funding. There are lots of uncertainties around Brexit and the potential implications it presents for Wales’ most vulnerable groups and communities. This funding will help us better understand Wales’ reliance on the third sector to deliver essential community services and how withdrawing from the EU may impact on the services delivered to those communities most in need.”


The Welsh Government has been seeking innovative ways to support partner organisations through the Brexit process, and considering what advice, guidance and financial support we can provide to help them deal with this change.


The ETF was announced in January as part of our Brexit plans to directly help businesses and public services for the significant changes ahead. The ETF will provide a combination of financial support and loan funding, and will support the provision of technical, commercial, export\-related and sectoral\-specific advice for businesses and public sector bodies in Wales.
