A dyna ddiwedd ar Eisteddfod 2026!
Diolch enfawr i Kate Gobir a thîm cyfan WCVA am yr holl waith caled a wnaed i drefnu Hwb mor wych yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol eleni.
Mae dod â chymaint o sefydliadau gwirfoddol, cymunedol a’r trydydd sector at ei gilydd mewn un lle yn golygu llawer iawn o waith trefnu y tu ôl i’r llenni, ac roedd hynny’n amlwg drwy gydol yr wythnos. Rhoddodd yr Hwb gyfle gwych inni nid yn unig arddangos yr hyn rydym yn ei wneud yn Dolen Teifi, ond, yn bwysicach fyth, i gwrdd â phobl, creu cysylltiadau newydd, rhannu syniadau a chael trafodaethau defnyddiol iawn am y dyfodol.
Diolch arbennig hefyd i CAVO, CAVS a PAVS am eu cwmni drwy gydol yr wythnos. Roedd yn wych eich cael o’n cwmpas a chael y cyfle i rannu syniadau, cysylltiadau ac, yn bwysig iawn, ambell chwerthin ar hyd y ffordd!
Diolch mawr hefyd i CTA Cymru am eu cefnogaeth barhaus ac am fod yn rhan o’r wythnos. Mae bob amser yn dda cael y cyfle i ddal i fyny, rhannu’r hyn sy’n digwydd ym maes Trafnidiaeth Gymunedol a thrafod rhai o’r heriau a’r cyfleoedd sydd o’n blaenau i’r sector yng Nghymru.
Roedd hefyd yn bleser rhannu’r Hwb gyda Dolen Cymru, y Clwb Rotari a’r llu o sefydliadau a grwpiau eraill a fu yno yn ystod yr wythnos. Roedd yn dangos yn glir faint o waith gwych sy’n digwydd mewn cymunedau ledled Cymru.
Diolch hefyd i Gronfa Gymunedol y Loteri Genedlaethol a’r llu o gyllidwyr, partneriaid a sefydliadau eraill a gymerodd yr amser i ddod draw i siarad â ni. Yn aml iawn, y sgyrsiau anffurfiol hyn yw lle mae’r syniadau gorau yn dechrau.
Diolch arbennig hefyd i Aelodau’r Senedd, cynrychiolwyr Llywodraeth Cymru ac eraill sy’n ymwneud â bywyd cyhoeddus a ymwelodd â’r Hwb ac a gymerodd yr amser i siarad â ni. Cawsom rai trafodaethau cadarnhaol a diddorol iawn yn ystod yr wythnos ac edrychwn ymlaen at ddatblygu rhai o’r syniadau a’r cyfleoedd a ddaeth o’r sgyrsiau hynny.
Ac, yn bwysicaf oll, diolch i bawb a ddaeth draw i’n gweld ar stondin Dolen Teifi. P’un a oeddech wedi dod i ddysgu mwy am Drafnidiaeth Gymunedol, i siarad am wirfoddoli, i drafod partneriaeth bosibl, i rannu syniad, i ddal i fyny â ni neu’n syml i ddweud helo, roeddem yn gwerthfawrogi hynny’n fawr.
Fe gyrhaeddon ni gyda digon i siarad amdano ac, rywsut, fe adawon ni gyda hyd yn oed mwy o syniadau, cysylltiadau a chyfleoedd!
A hoffwn ddiolch yn bersonol i Anne, Sharen, Lisa a Hannah, ac i’n Cyfarwyddwyr Lesley a Mena, am yr holl amser, gwaith a chefnogaeth a roddwyd dros yr wythnos. Rhwng pawb, gwnaethoch helpu i staffio stondin Dolen Teifi drwy gydol y saith diwrnod a sicrhau bod rhywun yno i groesawu, siarad a rhannu gwybodaeth gyda’r nifer fawr o bobl a ddaeth draw i’n gweld.
Mae digwyddiad fel hwn yn gofyn am ymdrech tîm go iawn, ar y Maes a thu ôl i’r llenni, ac ni fyddem wedi gallu gwneud yr hyn a wnaethom heb eich cefnogaeth. Diolch yn fawr iawn i bob un ohonoch.
Mae wedi bod yn wyth diwrnod hir, ond yn wyth diwrnod gwerth chweil iawn.
Felly, oddi wrth bob un ohonom yn Dolen Teifi, diolch yn fawr iawn i bawb a helpodd i wneud yr wythnos yn gymaint o lwyddiant.
A chofiwch — mae Dolen Teifi yma i helpu.
Rwy’n credu y gallwn ni nawr ddweud yn swyddogol — dyna ddiwedd arni!
And that’s a wrap on Eisteddfod 2026!
A massive thank you to Kate Gobir and the whole WCVA team for all the hard work that went into organising such a fantastic Hwb at this year’s National Eisteddfod.
Bringing so many voluntary, community and third sector organisations together in one place takes a huge amount of organisation behind the scenes, and it really showed. The Hwb gave us a brilliant opportunity not only to showcase what we do at Dolen Teifi, but more importantly to meet people, make new connections, share ideas and have some really useful conversations about the future.
A special thank you also to CAVO, CAVS and PAVS for their company throughout the week. It was great having you around us and being able to share ideas, contacts and, importantly, a few laughs along the way.
A big thank you also to CTA Wales for their continued support and for being part of the week. It is always good to have the opportunity to catch up, share what is happening across Community Transport and talk about some of the challenges and opportunities ahead for the sector in Wales.
It was also a pleasure to share the Hwb with Dolen Cymru, the Rotary Club and the many other organisations and groups that attended during the week. It really demonstrated just how much fantastic work is happening across communities in Wales.
Thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund and the many other funders, partners and organisations who took the time to come over and talk to us. Those informal conversations can often be where the best ideas start.
A special thank you to the Members of the Senedd, Welsh Government representatives and others involved in public life who visited the Hwb and took the time to speak with us. We had some very positive and interesting discussions during the week and we look forward to taking forward some of the ideas and opportunities that came out of those conversations.
And, most importantly, thank you to everyone who came to see us at the Dolen Teifi stand. Whether you came to find out more about Community Transport, talk about volunteering, discuss a possible partnership, share an idea, catch up with us or simply say hello, it was genuinely appreciated.
We arrived with plenty to talk about and somehow managed to leave with even more ideas, contacts and opportunities!
I would also like to personally thank Anne, Sharen, Lisa and Hannah, together with our Directors Lesley and Mena, for all the time, hard work and support they gave throughout the week. Between them, they helped man the Dolen Teifi stand throughout the seven days, making sure there was always someone there to welcome, talk to and share information with the many people who came over to see us.
An event like this really is a team effort, both on the Maes and behind the scenes, and we simply could not have achieved what we did without your support. A huge thank you to every one of you.
It has been a long eight days, but a very worthwhile eight days.
So from all of us at Dolen Teifi, diolch yn fawr iawn to everyone who helped make the week such a success.
And remember — Dolen Teifi is here to help.
I think we can now officially call that a wrap!
