The Deputy Minister and Chief Whip, Jane Hutt, said:



> “I want to acknowledge and celebrate the critical role being played by volunteers, charities and third sector organisations in protecting the wellbeing of Wales, its people and communities.
> 
> 
> “With fundraising events on hold due to the pandemic, these organisations are facing a particularly challenging time, but they are still continuing to provide much\-needed help and support in our response to Covid\-19\.
> 
> 
> “I recognise the invaluable contribution this sector makes, and that’s why I want to draw attention to funding support the Welsh Government has put in place to help.
> 
> 
> “There are two streams of funding available through the Welsh Government Third Sector Covid\-19 Response Fund, both of which can be accessed through Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA).
> 
> 
> “Ahead of the Chancellor’s announcement last week, we announced £24m funding to support charities and the third sector across Wales through the Covid\-19 crisis. This is significantly more than we will receive as a consequential from UK Government.
> 
> 
> “The first funding stream is the Third Sector Resilience Fund. This fund will provide direct financial support to charities and third sector organisations through the Covid\-19 crisis to help pay bills and ease cash\-flow.
> 
> 
> “The Voluntary Services Emergency Fund will support third sector organisations in the community to co\-ordinate the massive volunteer response we have seen across Wales. This fund will help organisations cover the out of pocket expenses of their volunteers. To date, 29 organisations have applied for funding.
> 
> 
> “Applications for Welsh Government funding through the WCVA website are already being taken, and I want to encourage more eligible organisations to apply for funding.
> 
> 
> “The First Minister recently announced details of the £500m Economic Resilience Fund, which will provide additional financial support to organisations which are experiencing a sharp drop in trading as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. This fund will help organisations to manage cash flow pressures.
> 
> 
> “This fund will reach a significant number of charities and social enterprises, but we’re aware that not all will be eligible. We are therefore calling on the UK Government to provide further financial support for Welsh organisations, and to make sure that funding from the UK Government schemes already announced reach businesses quickly.
> 
> 
> “Charities can use the Covid\-19 Business Support Eligibility Checker to check their eligibility.
> 
> 
> “Finally, I want to say to all the volunteer groups and charities who are supporting the people of Wales right now – thank you. You are amazing.”

Dywedodd Jane Hutt, y Dirprwy Weinidog a’r Prif Chwip:



> “Rwyf eisiau cydnabod a dathlu’r gwaith hanfodol sy’n cael ei wneud gan wirfoddolwyr, elusennau a sefydliadau’r trydydd sector i ddiogelu lles Cymru, ei phobl a’i chymunedau.
> 
> 
> “Mae digwyddiadau codi arian wedi eu hatal ar hyn o bryd oherwydd y pandemig, ac felly mae’r sefydliadau hyn yn wynebu cyfnod anodd; ond maent yn parhau i ddarparu’r cymorth a’r gefnogaeth y mae dirfawr eu hangen wrth ymateb i’r argyfwng Covid\-19\.
> 
> 
> “Rwy’n cydnabod bod cyfraniad y sector yn gyfraniad gwerthfawr tu hwnt, a dyna pam rwyf am dynnu sylw at y cymorth ariannol sydd yn ei le gan Lywodraeth Cymru er mwyn rhoi help llaw.



> “Mae dwy ffrwd o gyllid ar gael drwy Gronfa Ymateb Covid\-19 y Trydydd Sector Llywodraeth Cymru, a gellir cael gafael ar y ddwy drwy Gyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru (CGGC).
> 
> 
> “Cyn cyhoeddiad y Canghellor yr wythnos ddiwethaf, cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru gyllid gwerth £24m i gefnogi elusennau a’r trydydd sector ledled Cymru yn ystod argyfwng Covid\-19\. Mae hyn yn llawer mwy nag y byddwn yn ei dderbyn fel swm canlyniadol gan Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig (DU).
> 
> 
> “Cronfa Gwytnwch Trydydd Sector Cymru yw’r ffrwd gyllid gyntaf, a fydd yn rhoi cyllid uniongyrchol i gefnogi elusennau a sefydliadau’r trydydd sector drwy gydol argyfwng Covid\-19, i helpu i dalu biliau a gwella’r llif arian.
> 
> 
> “Bydd Cronfa Argyfwng y Gwasanaethau Gwirfoddol yn helpu sefydliadau’r trydydd sector yn y gymuned i gydgysylltu'r ymateb aruthrol rydym wedi’i weld ar draws Cymru i’r cais am wirfoddolwyr. Bydd y gronfa hon yn helpu sefydliadau i dalu costau gwirfoddolwyr er mwyn sicrhau nad ydynt ar eu colled. Hyd yn hyn, mae 29 o sefydliadau wedi gwneud cais am gyllid.
> 
> 
> “Mae ceisiadau am gyllid gan Lywodraeth Cymru drwy wefan CGGC eisoes yn cael eu derbyn, ac rwyf am annog mwy o sefydliadau cymwys i wneud cais.
> 
> 
> “Cyhoeddodd Mark Drakeford, y Prif Weinidog, fanylion yn ddiweddar am y Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd gwerth £500m, a fydd yn rhoi cymorth ariannol ychwanegol i sefydliadau sydd wedi gweld gostyngiad sydyn mewn masnachu o ganlyniad i’r pandemig hwn. Bydd y gronfa hon yn helpu sefydliadau i reoli’r pwysau ar eu llif arian.
> 
> 
> “Bydd y gronfa hon yn cyrraedd nifer sylweddol o elusennau a mentrau cymdeithasol, ond rydym yn ymwybodol na fydd pob un yn gymwys. Felly, rydym yn galw ar Lywodraeth y DU i ddarparu cymorth ariannol pellach i sefydliadau yng Nghymru, ac i wneud yn siŵr bod arian o gynlluniau Llywodraeth y DU a gyhoeddwyd eisoes yn cael ei roi i fusnesau’n gyflym.
> 
> 
> “Gall elusennau ddefnyddio’r Gwiriwr Cymhwysedd Cymorth Busnes COVID\-19 i weld a ydynt yn gymwys.
> 
> 
> “I gloi, hoffwn ddiolch o waelod calon i’r holl grwpiau o wirfoddolwyr ac elusennau sy’n rhoi cefnogaeth i bobl Cymru ar hyn o bryd – mae pob un ohonoch yn wych.”
