English: I think that combination of statutory services and support from the voluntary sector is absolutely vital, and that's why, since 2019, we've annually been providing over £10 million of direct funding for youth work to local authorities and the voluntary sector to ensure that there is that dual approach. During the pandemic, since the very start, actually, we've been working really closely with the youth work sector to ensure that they have the necessary resources to continue to be confident in their work through the pandemic scenario, and that's included more support around safeguarding, using online resources and platforms, as well as sharing best practice of working in very, very different ways. Our £24 million package of support for the third sector does include the voluntary services emergency fund, and that's supported eight organisations so far, and three of those are in Cardiff, and they've received a total funding of £141,000. The impact of that has been critical, with funding allocated to the Church Army, for example, for counsellors to provide that support by telephone to young people who are at risk of self harm. The voluntary services recovery fund has also supported six organisations identifying as youth services, with a total of £123,000. Again, of those, three are in Cardiff. One of the recipients, the SAFE Foundation, was awarded funding to support positive mental health amongst young people affected by COVID-19 specifically. So, our response to the pandemic has very much been about demonstrating our real concern about the impact on young people's mental health.
Welsh: Credaf fod y cyfuniad hwnnw o wasanaethau statudol a chymorth gan y sector gwirfoddol yn gwbl hanfodol, a dyna pam ein bod, ers 2019, wedi darparu dros £10 miliwn y flwyddyn o gyllid uniongyrchol ar gyfer gwaith ieuenctid i awdurdodau lleol a'r sector gwirfoddol er mwyn sicrhau y ceir y dull deuol hwnnw. Yn ystod y pandemig, ers y cychwyn cyntaf mewn gwirionedd, rydym wedi bod yn gweithio'n agos iawn gyda'r sector gwaith ieuenctid i sicrhau bod ganddynt yr adnoddau angenrheidiol i barhau i fod yn hyderus yn eu gwaith drwy gydol senario'r pandemig, ac mae hynny wedi cynnwys mwy o gymorth yn ymwneud â diogelu, gan ddefnyddio adnoddau a phlatfformau ar-lein, ynghyd â rhannu arferion gorau wrth weithio mewn ffyrdd gwahanol iawn. Mae ein pecyn cymorth gwerth £24 miliwn ar gyfer y trydydd sector yn cynnwys cronfa argyfwng y gwasanaethau gwirfoddol, ac mae honno wedi cefnogi wyth sefydliad hyd yn hyn, ac mae tri o'r rheini yng Nghaerdydd, ac maent wedi derbyn cyfanswm o £141,000 o gyllid. Mae effaith hynny wedi bod yn hollbwysig, gyda chyllid wedi'i ddyrannu i Fyddin yr Eglwys, er enghraifft, i gwnselwyr ddarparu'r gefnogaeth honno dros y ffôn i bobl ifanc sydd mewn perygl o hunan-niweidio. Mae cronfa adfer y gwasanaethau gwirfoddol hefyd wedi cefnogi chwe sefydliad sy'n nodi eu bod yn wasanaethau ieuenctid, gyda chyfanswm o £123,000. Unwaith eto, o'r rheini, mae tri ohonynt yng Nghaerdydd. Dyfarnwyd cyllid i un o'r derbynwyr, Sefydliad SAFE, i gefnogi iechyd meddwl cadarnhaol ymhlith pobl ifanc y mae COVID-19 wedi effeithio arnynt yn benodol. Felly, mae ein hymateb i'r pandemig yn sicr wedi ymwneud â dangos ein gwir bryder ynghylch yr effaith ar iechyd meddwl pobl ifanc.
