The Voluntary Services Recovery Fund (VSRF) replaced the Voluntary Services Emergency Fund (VSEF), and was launched on 17th August. It will enable organisations to adapt and deliver services to communities throughout Wales, especially relating to specific challenges which have emerged during the Covid\-19 pandemic, like mental health and social well\-being.


Huw Lewis, Third Sector Development Manager at Gwent Association of Voluntary Organisations, said:



> “There is no doubt that Welsh Government funding has made a huge difference by ensuring the long\-term sustainability of many community and third sector organisations in Blaenau Gwent. Volunteers and charities have been able to continue to deliver vital services to some of the most disadvantaged members of our community.”


The new Voluntary Services Recovery Fund is now open for applications.


The Third Sector Resilience Fund remains open for applications, and will continue to provide direct financial support to charities and third sector organisations to help pay bills and ease cash\-flow.

> “Mae cymunedau ledled Cymru yn gweld budd hyn wrth i amser fynd yn ei flaen. Mae ymrwymo i achos ar y cyd yn atgyfnerthu cymunedau gofalgar egnïol, lle mae cwlwm cydweithredu a gwaith tîm yn clymu dinasyddion at ei gilydd, lle mae anghydraddoldeb yn cael ei leihau, a lle mae’r rheini sydd fwyaf agored i niwed yn teimlo eu bod yn cael eu cefnogi.
> 
> 
> “Rydyn ni’n gwerthfawrogi pob gwirfoddolwr. Gawn ni ofyn ichi barhau i gynnig eich gwasanaethau ym mha ffordd bynnag sydd orau gennych chi – ond gofalwch gadw’ch hun ac eraill yn saff.”

Aeth Jane Hutt ymlaen i ddweud:



> “Ar Ddiwrnod Rhyngwladol Elusennau, dw i am ystyried a dathlu cyfraniad enfawr elusennau, mudiadau’r trydydd sector a gwirfoddolwyr yng Nghymru. Diolch ichi – rydych chi wedi arbed bywydau.

Mae Cronfa Adfer y Gwasanaethau Gwirfoddol wedi disodli Cronfa Argyfwng y Gwasanaethau Gwirfoddol, ac fe’i lansiwyd ar 17 Awst. Bydd yn galluogi sefydliadau i addasu a darparu gwasanaethau i gymunedau ledled Cymru, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â heriau penodol sydd wedi codi yn ystod pandemig Covid\-19, megis iechyd meddwl a lles cymdeithasol.


Dywedodd Huw Lewis, Rheolwr Datblygu’r Trydydd Sector, Cymdeithas Mudiadau Gwirfoddol Gwent:



> “Yn sicr, mae cyllid Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth enfawr drwy sicrhau cynaliadwyedd hirdymor llawer o fudiadau cymunedol a thrydydd sector Blaenau Gwent. Mae gwirfoddolwyr ac elusennau wedi gallu parhau i ddarparu gwasanaethau hanfodol i rai o aelodau mwyaf difreintiedig ein cymuned.”


Mae Cronfa Adfer y Gwasanaethau Gwirfoddol ar agor bellach ar gyfer ceisiadau.


Mae Cronfa Gwydnwch y Trydydd Sector yn parhau i fod ar agor ar gyfer ceisiadau, a bydd yn parhau i ddarparu cymorth ariannol uniongyrchol i elusennau a mudiadau’r trydydd sector i helpu gyda biliau a hwyluso llif arian.
