O 1 Gorffennaf 2022, caiff £1600 (cyn treth) ei gynnig bob mis i fwy na 500 o bobl sy’n gadael gofal yng Nghymru am ddwy flynedd, i’w cefnogi wrth iddynt gymryd y cam tuag at fywyd fel oedolion.


Prif Weinidog Cymru, Mark Drakeford, sy’n ei lansio, a’r gobaith yw y bydd y peilot yn gosod y bobl ifanc hyn sy’n gadael gofal ar lwybr tuag at fywydau iach, hapus, llawn boddhad.


Mae ymddiriedaeth, ymreolaeth a pharch yn elfennau canolog o’r cam radical hwn. Bydd yn darparu annibyniaeth a sicrwydd i bobl sydd wedi wynebu heriau aruthrol yn ystod eu plentyndod, gan roi mwy o reolaeth iddynt a’u grymuso i wneud penderfyniadau ynghylch eu dyfodol.


Caiff y peilot gwerth £20 miliwn, a fydd yn rhedeg am dair blynedd, ei werthuso er mwyn ystyried yn ofalus ei effaith ar fywydau’r unigolion dan sylw.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol, Jane Hutt fod y cynllun yn fuddsoddiad uniongyrchol ym mywydau a dyfodol rhai o’r bobl ifanc sydd fwyaf agored i niwed yng Nghymru.


Bydd y rheini sy’n cymryd rhan yn y peilot hefyd yn cael cyngor a chefnogaeth fel unigolion i’w helpu i reoli eu cyllid a datblygu eu sgiliau ariannol.


Bydd awdurdodau lleol yn chwarae rôl allweddol o ran eu cefnogi drwy gydol y peilot. Bydd Voices from Care Cymru hefyd yn gweithio gyda’r bobl ifanc i roi cyngor iddynt ar faterion lles, addysg a chyflogaeth, ac i’w helpu i gynllunio eu dyfodol ar ôl y peilot.


I lansio’r cynllun, cyfarfu’r Prif Weinidog, y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol a’r Dirprwy Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Julie Morgan â’r bobl sy’n cymryd rhan yn y peilot, ac â phobl ifanc sydd wedi bod mewn gofal, i siarad am yr effaith y bydd y gefnogaeth hon yn ei chael ar fywydau.


Trafodwyd sut maent yn gobeithio y bydd y sefydlogrwydd ariannol yn rhoi’r cyfle i bobl wneud dewisiadau cadarnhaol wrth adael gofal, ac yn darparu sylfaen fwy cadarn iddynt adeiladu eu bywydau fel oedolion arni.


Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog:



> Rydyn ni eisiau i’n holl bobl ifanc gael y cyfle gorau mewn bywyd a chyflawni eu potensial llawn. Y wladwriaeth yw gwarcheidwad pobl sy’n gadael gofal, ac felly mae dyletswydd gwirioneddol arni i’w cefnogi ar ddechrau eu bywyd fel oedolion.
> 
> 
> Ein ffocws fydd agor eu byd i’w holl bosibiliadau a’u gwneud yn annibynnol ar wasanaethau wrth i’w bywydau ddatblygu.
> 
> 
> Dyw llawer o’r rhai sy’n rhan o’r peilot yma ddim wedi cael y gefnogaeth y mae eraill, gan fy nghynnwys i fy hun, wedi bod yn ddigon lwcus i’w mwynhau wrth ddechrau ar ein llwybr i fywyd fel oedolyn.
> 
> 
> Bydd y fenter radical hon yn gwneud mwy na gwella bywydau’r rheini sy’n cymryd rhan ynddo yn unig, ac y bydd yn dod â budd i weddill cymdeithas Cymru hefyd. Os ydym yn llwyddo gyda’r hyn rydym yn geisio ei wneud heddi, dim ond y cam cyntaf fydd hwn ar daith a fydd, o bosibl, o fantais i genedlaethau i ddod.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol:



> Rydyn ni yng nghanol argyfwng costau byw na welwyd ei debyg, ac felly mae angen ffyrdd newydd o roi cefnogaeth i’r bobl sydd ei hangen fwyaf.
> 
> 
> Mae ein peilot Incwm Sylfaenol yn brosiect hynod gyffrous sy’n rhoi sefydlogrwydd ariannol i genhedlaeth o bobl ifanc. Mae gormod o bobl sy’n gadael gofal yn wynebu rhwystrau enfawr wrth geisio cyflawni eu gobeithion a’u breuddwydion, ee cael cartref diogel a sefydlog, cael swydd a datblygu gyrfa foddhaol. Bydd y cynllun hwn yn helpu pobl i fyw bywyd sy’n rhydd rhag rhwystrau a chyfyngiadau o’r fath.
> 
> 
> Fe fyddwn ni’n gwerthuso’r gwersi o’r peilot yma yn ofalus. Bydd gwrando ar bawb sy’n rhan ohono yn hollbwysig er mwyn asesu llwyddiant y prosiect, sy’n uchelgeisiol ar lefel fyd\-eang. Fe fyddwn ni’n ystyried p’un a yw Incwm Sylfaenol yn ffordd effeithlon o gefnogi’r bobl mewn cymdeithas sydd fwyaf agored i niwed, ac a yw’n dod â manteision nid dim ond i’r unigolyn ei hun, ond i gymdeithas yn ehangach hefyd.


Dywedodd Tiff Evans o Voices from Care Cymru, wrth siarad ar ran pobl ifanc sydd â phrofiad o fod mewn gofal:



> Mae hwn yn gyfle gwych i bobl sy’n gadael gofal yng Nghymru. Mae’n braf gweld eu bod nhw’n cael sylw, a bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn darparu’r cyfle yma iddyn nhw gael meithrin cyfrifoldeb, rheoli rhai rhannau o’u bywydau, a ffynnu a bod yn annibynnol yn ariannol.
> 
> 
> Rydyn ni am ddiolch i Lywodraeth Cymru am fuddsoddi ynddyn nhw ac yn eu dyfodol, ac edrychwn ymlaen at weld newidiadau a datblygiadau eraill ar gyfer pobl ifanc yng Nghymru sydd â phrofiad o fod mewn gofal er mwyn iddyn nhw gyflawni eu breuddwydion.

From 1 July 2022, more than 500 people leaving care in Wales will be offered £1600 each month (before tax) for two years to support them as they make the transition to adult life.


Launched by First Minister Mark Drakeford, it is hoped the pilot will set care leavers on a path to live healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.


The radical approach has trust, autonomy and respect at its centre. It will provide independence and security to people who have faced immense challenges during their childhood, giving them greater control and empowering them to make decisions about their future.


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


Social Justice Minister Jane Hutt said the scheme is a direct investment in the lives and futures of some of Wales’ most vulnerable young people.


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.


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.


To launch the scheme, First Minister Mark Drakeford, Social Justice Minister Jane Hutt and Deputy Minister for Social Services Julie Morgan met with people taking part in the pilot, and young people who themselves have been in care, to talk about the impact this support will have on peoples’ lives.


They discussed how they hope the financial stability will give people the opportunity to make positive life choices as they leave care and provide a more solid foundation from which to build their adult lives.


First Minister Mark Drakeford said:



> We want all our young people to have the best possible chance in life and fulfil their full potential. The state is the guardian of people leaving care and so has a real obligation to support them as they start their adult life.
> 
> 
> Our focus will be on opening up their world to all its possibilities and create an independence from services as their lives develop.
> 
> 
> Many of those involved in this pilot don’t have the support lots of people, myself included, have been lucky enough to enjoy as we started out on our path to adulthood.
> 
> 
> Our radical initiative will not only improve the lives of those taking part in the pilot, but will reap rewards for the rest of Welsh society. If we succeed in what we are attempting today this will be just the first step in what could be a journey that benefits generations to come.


Minister for Social Justice Jane Hutt said:



> We’re in the midst of a cost\-of\-living crisis like no other and we therefore need new ways of supporting people who are most in need.
> 
> 
> Our Basic Income pilot is an incredibly exciting project giving financial stability to a generation of young people. Too many people leaving care face huge barriers to achieving their hopes and ambitions; such as problems with getting a safe and stable home, to securing a job and building a fulfilling career. This scheme will help people live a life free of such barriers and limitations.
> 
> 
> We will carefully evaluate the lessons learnt from the pilot. Listening to everyone who takes part will be crucial in determining the success of this globally ambitious project. We will examine whether Basic Income is an efficient way to support society’s most vulnerable and not only benefit the individual, but wider society too.


Tiff Evans of Voices from Care Cymru, speaking on behalf of young people who have experienced care, said:



> This is a brilliant opportunity for care leavers in Wales. It is good to see that care leavers in Wales are being thought of and Welsh Government are providing this opportunity for them as young people to become responsible, control some parts of their lives and have a chance to thrive and be financially independent.
> 
> 
> We thank Welsh Government for investing in them and their future and we look forward to other changes and developments for care experienced young people in Wales in order for them to reach life aspirations.
