Rhaglen Dinasyddion Creadigol Belfast 2024.

| Yn 2020 cyhoeddodd Cyngor Dinas Belfast strategaeth ddiwylliannol 10 mlynedd oedd wedi’i gyd-ddylunio, A City Imagining, er mwyn datblygu “a people-focused approach to cultural development by facilitating citizen, community and creative, cultural and heritage sector participation”. Yn y strategaeth roedd yna gynlluniau ar gyfer digwyddiad diwylliant, Belfast 2024, sef prosiect “sbarduno” blwyddyn o hyd a fwriadwyd i roi gwerthoedd y strategaeth ar waith, gan ymgysylltu’n uniongyrchol â chymunedau o fewn y strategaeth, a sadio’r momentwm tuag at greadigrwydd fel grym ar gyfer datblygu dinesig a rhanbarthol. Un peth oedd yn ganolog i Belfast 2024 oedd y rhaglen Dinasyddion Creadigol, sef ymgysylltiad cyhoeddus helaeth a pharhaus nid yn unig i gyd-ddylunio’r rhaglen, y themâu a’r gweithgareddau am y flwyddyn, ond i rymuso dinasyddion a chymunedau mewn gwirionedd. Trwy ddull cyllidebu cyfranogol o’r enw The Bank of Ideas, y dinasyddion oedd yn penderfynu’n uniongyrchol ar ddyrannu’r gyllideb, gan gynnig a dewis prosiectau creadigol ar gyfer y ddinas. Yn ogystal â throsglwyddo’r pŵer i wneud penderfyniadau, roedd y cynllun yn anelu at leihau’r rhwystrau oedd yn atal mynediad at gyllid er mwyn i ystod ehangach o ddinasyddion, grwpiau cymunedol a sefydliadau eraill gymryd rhan.

Yn fersiwn gyntaf y cynllun yn 2024, cyflwynwyd 93 o syniadau i’r cyhoedd mewn diwrnod pleidleisio yn Neuadd y Ddinas, gyda mwy na 2000 o bleidleiswyr yn penderfynu beth ddylai fynd yn ei flaen. O ganlyniad, cynhaliwyd 28 o brosiectau a drefnwyd gan grwpiau cymunedol, mudiadau gwirfoddol a phractisau creadigol bach mewn cymunedau a chymdogaethau ledled Belfast. Roedd y prosiectau’n cynnwys carnifal amrywiaeth, llyfrgell deithiol, theatr ryngweithiol aml-synhwyraidd i blant ag anableddau, a phrosiectau bioamrywiaeth oedd yn defnyddio creadigrwydd fel offeryn ar gyfer addysg gymunedol. Roedd y prosiectau hyn yn helpu dinasyddion a grwpiau ymylol i ddod yn fwy cysylltiedig â chymunedau lleol.

Mae’r ymagwedd a gymerwyd gan y ddinas, sef creu’r amodau ar gyfer cyfranogiad gweithredol yn y gymdeithas trwy wrando, ymateb a grymuso cymunedau lleol, wedi cael ei chydnabod yn lleol ac yn rhyngwladol, gan ennill Gwobr Ymgysylltu Cymunedol Gwobrau Llywodraeth NILocal yn 2025 a chael ei chydnabod gan reithgor rhyngwladol Llywodraethau Lleol Dinasoedd Unedig fel yr arferion gorau o dan Agenda 21 y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar gyfer Diwylliant.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-16)

The SAF Mandate is the UK’s key policy to decarbonise aviation fuel by encouraging the supply of sustainable aviation fuels.

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2024/1187/contents/made) secures demand for SAF by:
- obligating the supply of an increasing amount of SAF in the overall UK aviation fuel mix
- incentivising SAF supply through the award of tradeable certificates with a cash value
The SAF Mandate starts in 2025 at 2% of total UK jet fuel demand, increasing linearly to 10% in 2030 and then to 22% in 2040.

From 2040, the obligation will remain at 22% of total UK jet fuel demand until there is greater certainty regarding SAF supply.

The SAF Mandate could deliver up to 6.3 megatonnes of carbon savings per year by 2040.

The SAF Mandate and the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/renewable-transport-fuels-obligation-rtfo-orders) are part of the government’s strategy on low carbon fuel (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/low-carbon-fuels-in-transport).

Spring statement social security changes – updated impact on poverty levels in Great Britain, July 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-07)

This ad hoc analysis provides estimates of the impact of changes to Universal Credit  on poverty levels following revisions to the previously announced policy.

This publication updates previous analysis (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spring-statement-social-security-changes-updated-impact-on-poverty-levels-in-great-britain) to account for recent Ministerial commitments to make changes to the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill, specifically to remove Clause 5 of the Bill relating to Personal Independence Payment. It uses the same methodology and is comparable to the previous analysis.

It provides an estimate of the combined impact on poverty levels for individuals in the financial year ending (FYE) 2030. This estimate does not include any potential positive impact of the bolstered £1billion annual funding, by 2029 to 2030, or the additional £300m of support in this SR period that is being brought forward. These measures will support those with disabilities and long-term health conditions into employment, which we expect to reduce poverty among people it supports into work.

Excluding the impact of employment support, it is estimated that there will be 50,000 fewer individuals in relative poverty after housing costs in FYE 2030 as a result of the modelled changes to social security, compared to baseline projections. This includes a reduction in poverty for both children and working age individuals. The impact on the number of pensioners in poverty rounds to zero.

CG17402 - Indexation: from 6/4/88: no gain/loss cases: treatment of transferee
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-11)


Disposals between 6 April 1988 and 29 November 1993

In these circumstances the acquisition cost for the transferee is the allowable expenditure of the transferor plus the indexation allowance. The HMRC office dealing with the transferee should be advised of this amount if the information is provided. In this situation for the purposes of calculating INDEXATION on any subsequent disposal by the transferee, you ignore any provision which treats the transferor's acquisition of the asset as the transferee's, such as TCGA92/S257 (2)(b). These provisions were broadly intended to give time-apportionment CG15500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg15500).

If however the transferor held the asset at 31 March 1982 different provisions apply, see CG16880+, and the transferee is treated as if having held the asset on 31 March 1982 for the purposes of rebasing and indexation.

Capital Gains Tax Disposals on or after 6 April 2008 (TCGA92/S35A)

In Capital Gains Tax cases where the transferee (i.e. the person who earlier received the asset) disposes of that asset on or after 6 April 2008 and:
- that person acquired that asset between 31 March 1982 and 6 April 2008,
- by way of a no gain / no loss transaction, and
- all earlier disposals (if any) of the asset between 31 March 1982 and that person’s acquisition of the asset were no gain/no loss disposals, and
- a rebasing election under TCGA92/S35(2) for 31 March 1982 value to apply was NOT made
then it is assumed that an election under TCGA92/S35(2) for 31 March 1982 value to apply was made

The effect is that the transferee’s acquisition cost for the purpose of computing the gain arising on the disposal made on or after 6 April 2008, is the value of the asset at 31 March 1982 plus any indexation which would have been due up to the time of the last no gain/no loss transaction by which the transferee acquired the asset.

For companies within the charge to Corporation Tax there was originally no change to the treatment for disposals made on or after 6 April 2008. However for such companies indexation has been frozen from 1 January 2018 and, for assets held before 1 January 2018 but disposed of on or after that date, the indexation is calculated to December 2017. For disposals between 6 April 2008 and 31 December 2017 calculate any indexation as normal.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Network Warrington will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
