Neges gan y Prif Weithredwr
Message from the Chief Executive
Wrth i ni ddathlu y 19eg seremoni gwobrwyo blynyddol, mae 2012 yn gweld cyfnod newydd yn gwawrio i C&B Cymru. Ym mis Tachwedd y llynedd, cymeron ni gam dewr wrth ddod yn elusen annibynnol Gymreig, diolch i gefnogaeth barhaus Llywodraeth Cymru, Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru a’n holl aelodau teyrngar yn y celfyddydau a byd busnes.
As we celebrate the 19th annual awards, 2012 sees the dawn of a new era for A&B Cymru. Last November, we made the bold move of becoming an independent Welsh charity, thanks to the ongoing support of Welsh Government, Arts Council of Wales and our many loyal business and arts members.
Mae’r statws newydd hwn yn gadael i ni deilwra ymhellach ein holl waith at anghenion penodol Cymru. Ni allai newid mawr o’r fath fod wedi digwydd heb ymrwymiad a brwdfrydedd y staff a’r bwrdd sydd newydd ei sefydlu. Mae pob un ohonynt yn haeddu’r ganmoliaeth a’r diolch gwresocaf.
This new status allows us to further tailor all our work to the specific needs of Wales. Such a great change could not have happened without the commitment and passion of both the staff and the newly established board, all of whom deserve the warmest praise and thanks.
Drwy gydol y trawsfudiad yma, mae ein holl raglenni a gwasanaethau wedi parhau i ddatblygu, cyflenwi ac ysgogi partneriaethau arloesol a chydfuddiannol rhwng busnes a’r celfyddydau. Mae Celf & Phlant Cymru wedi mwynhau blwyddyn gyntaf hynod lwyddiannus. Mae ugain o brosiectau ysbrydoledig eisoes wedi ymgysylltu â thros 3,500 o bobl ifainc sydd dan anfantais gymdeithasol yn y celfyddydau, diolch i fuddsoddiad o dros £200,000 gan wahanol fusnesau.
Through this transition, all our programmes and services have continued to develop, deliver and drive innovative and mutually beneficial partnerships between business and the arts. Arts & Kids Cymru has enjoyed a hugely successful first year. Twenty inspiring projects have already engaged more than 3,500 socially disadvantaged young people in the arts, thanks to business investment of over £200,000.
Mae Gwobrau C&B Cymru’n dathlu’r gorau oll o’r gwaith rydym yn ei hyrwyddo a’r effaith sylweddol mae’r partneriaethau arloesol hyn yn ei chael ar y gymuned ehangach ar draws Cymru gyfan. Ni fyddai’r seremoni flaenllaw hon yn bosibl heb ein noddwyr a’n cefnogwyr niferus yn y sector preifat – am hynny, diolch yn fawr. Rydym yn edrych ymlaen at flwyddyn lwyddiannus arall mewn partneriaeth.
The A&B Cymru Awards celebrate the very best of the work we promote and the significant impact these innovative partnerships make on the wider community across the whole of Wales. The flag-ship ceremony would not be possible without our many private sector sponsors and supporters – for that, many thanks. We look forward to another successful year of partnership.

I gydnabod cyfraniad arbennig unigolyn sy’n gweithio ar Raglenni Datblygiad Proffesiynol C&B Cymru at sefydliad celfyddydol
To recognise an outstanding contribution to an arts organisation by an individual working through A&B Cymru’s Professional Development Programmes
Enillydd Paula Jewson West Coast Energy Dechreuodd Paula fentora Henry Widdecombe, trefnydd Gŵyl Gomedi newydd Machynlleth, ym mis Ebrill 2010. Yn Gyfarwyddwr Cyllid ac yn Ysgrifennydd Cwmni West Coast Energy, daeth Paula â sgiliau a phrofiad amhrisiadwy i sefydlu systemau busnes a chyllid sy’n hanfodol i gynaliadwyedd y sefydliad celfyddydol. Bu’n arwain Henry trwy’r ddeddfwriaeth angenrheidiol er mwyn sefydlu’r ŵyl fel cwmni cyfyngedig gan roi iddo’r hyder i wneud cais llwyddiannus am gyllid craidd 3 blynedd. Yn ôl Paula, mae’r profiad wedi bod yn hynod ddiddorol, yn ei chyflwyno i wahanol ffyrdd o ddatrys problemau yn ogystal a phobl newydd ysbrydoledig. Eleni, daeth West Coast Energy yn brif noddwr yr ŵyl. Fe wnaeth canlyniadau pendant y bartneriaeth hon gryn argraff ar y beirniaid a theimlent fod Paula wedi dangos ymrwymiad dwfn, yn amlwg yn buddsoddi y tu hwnt i’r hyn oedd yn ei chylch gwaith.
Winner Paula Jewson West Coast Energy Paula began mentoring Henry Widdecombe, organiser of the new Machynlleth Comedy Festival, in April 2010. Finance Director and Company Secretary of West Coast Energy, Paula brought invaluable skills and experience, helping to embed business and financial systems essential to the arts organisation’s sustainability. She guided Henry through the legislation necessary to set up the festival as a limited company and gave him the confidence to successfully bid for 3 year core funding. Paula says that the experience has been fascinating, introducing her to different ways of problem solving and new, inspirational people. This year West Coast Energy became the festival’s principal sponsor. The judges were impressed by the tangible results of this partnership and felt that Paula had shown a deep commitment, clearly investing beyond her remit.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Tamara Evans ChandlerKBS
finalist Tamara Evans ChandlerKBS
Dymunai’r beirniaid gydnabod cyfraniad Tamara fel aelod allweddol o fwrdd Cwmni Theatr Volcano o Abertawe. Gan ddefnyddio ei sgiliau fel Rheolwr Costau a Chaffael, aeth Tamara ati i gryfhau strwythurau mewnol a bu’n helpu i greu cynllun busnes a oedd yn hyfyw’n artistig ac yn ariannol. Roedd Volcano yn gwerthfawrogi proffesiynoldeb, uniondeb a gallu Tamara i feithrin ymddiriedaeth, ond, yn anad dim, mae pob un bellach yn ei gweld yn ffrind gwerthfawr i’r cwmni.
The judges wished to recognise Tamara’s contribution as a key board member of Swansea’s Volcano Theatre Company. Using her skills as a Cost & Procurement Manager, Tamara strengthened internal structures and helped to create a business plan which was both artistically and financially viable. Volcano appreciated Tamara’s professionalism, integrity and ability to build trust, but above all, now see her as a valued friend of the company.

finalist Kay Walters S4C
Cafodd y gweithwraig Adnoddau Dynol proffesiynol, Kay, ei chyplysu â Chelfyddydau Cymunedol Rhondda Cynon Taf i ailysgrifennu swydd-ddisgrifiadau a rhoi system arfarnu newydd ar waith. Arweiniodd y lleoliad at gryn welliannau a dywedodd Kay fod y profiad wedi gwella ei sgiliau mentora a hyfforddi, gan roi mwy o hyder iddi a thipyn go lew o gymhelliad. Erbyn hyn mae Kay wedi ymuno â’r bwrdd a chanmolodd y beirniaid yr effaith y mae wedi’i chael ar CCRhCT yn y tymor hir yn ogystal â’r tymor byr.
HR professional Kay was matched with Rhondda Cynon Taf Community Arts to re-write job descriptions and implement a new appraisal system. The placement resulted in significant improvements and Kay found the experience improved her mentoring and coaching skills, giving her increased confidence and considerable motivation. Kay has now joined the board and the judges praised the impact she has made on RCTCA in both the short and long term.

Yn aelod o’r bwrdd ers amser maith, Dirprwy Gadeirydd OCC yw Mathew bellach ac mae’n hyrwyddwr dychmygus o waith y cwmni. Mae ei roddion sylweddol yn cynorthwyo cynyrchiadau llwyfan cyflawn yn ogystal â datblygu cyngherddau cerddorfaol, gweithgarwch cymunedol ac addysg.

Wrth enwebu Mathew, bu OCC hefyd yn canmol ei ddiddordeb diffuant, ei ddealltwriaeth a’i ymgysylltiad a’i anogaeth ddi-ball i waith y cwmni. Roedd y beirniaid yn unfrydol mai Mathew Prichard ddylai fod y cyntaf i dderbyn y wobr hon am yr hyn a ddisgrifiwyd ganddynt fel ymrwymiad gydol oes i gynorthwyo, nid yn unig OCC, ond amrywiaeth eang o ffurfiau ar y celfyddydau ar draws Cymru benbaladr.

I gydnabod partneriaeth sy’n dangos effaith ar frand busnes
In recognition of a partnership demonstrating impact on a business’ brand
Enillydd South West Wales Media Bu’r beirniaid yn canmol y grŵp cyhoeddi South West Wales Media, cynhyrchydd y South Wales Evening Post, am ei ffordd ddychmygus o hyrwyddo ei frand trwy bartneriaeth â Theatr Grand Slam. Adnewyddwyd unedau manwerthu gwag ar y Stryd Fawr yn Abertawe i greu Theatr y South Wales Evening Post ar gyfer cynhyrchiad o ddrama gerdd Mal Pope, Cappuccino Girls yn ystod Hydref 2011. O fewn tri mis yn unig gwelwyd y sioe gan dros 4,500 o bobl. Dangosodd gwerthuso fod 100% o’r rheini a fu’n bresennol yn ymwybodol o nawdd y papur gan gredu y dylai barhau. Adfywiwyd Cappuccino Girls am yr eildro ym mis Ebrill 2012 gyda chynnydd yn y cymorth gan y busnes. Fel y dywedodd Rheolwr Marchnata Masnachol y papur wrth grynhoi, “roedd cael nawdd teitl ar gyfer gofod y theatr yn golygu bod ein henw ni i fyny fan’na’n llythrennol mewn goleuadau neon. Mae’n dangos ein bod yn gefnogol i fywyd diwylliannol gan ein helpu i fod yng nghanol popeth lleol ac i gefnogi pobl i wneud gwahaniaeth”.
Winner South West Wales Media The judges praised publishing group South West Wales Media, producer of the South Wales Evening Post, for imaginative promotion of its brand through partnership with Grand Slam Theatre. Empty retail units on Swansea’s High Street were re-furbished to create the South Wales Evening Post Theatre for a production of Mal Pope’s musical Cappuccino Girls in Autumn 2011. In just three months the show was seen by over 4,500 people. Evaluation showed that 100% of those attending were aware of the paper’s sponsorship and most believed it should continue. Cappuccino Girls was revived for a second run in April 2012 with increased support from the business. As summed up by the paper’s Commercial Marketing Manager “having title sponsorship of the theatre space meant our name was literally up there in neon lights. It shows we are supportive of cultural life, helping us to be at the heart of all things local and to support people to make a difference”.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Cardiff Waterside
finalist Cardiff Waterside
Yn noddi’r celfyddydau’n ariannol am y tro cyntaf, cychwynnodd Cardiff Waterside nawdd 3 blynedd i Ganolfan Mileniwm Cymru yn 2011. Mae’r busnes yn anelu at ddenu mwy o gwsmeriaid i’w faes parcio aml-lawr ym Mae Caerdydd, yn enwedig o blith y miliwn o ymwelwyr achlysurol â’r Ganolfan. Denodd penwythnosau gaeaf gyda digwyddiadau di-dâl arbennig wedi’u targedu at deuluoedd, bron i 22,000 o bobl i’r Ganolfan. Mae’r busnes eisoes wedi elwa ar gynnydd yn y defnydd dros y penwythnosau, proffil uwch a chysylltiad cadarnhaol.
As a first time cash sponsor of the arts, Cardiff Waterside began a 3 year sponsorship of Wales Millennium Centre in 2011. The business aims to attract more custom to its Cardiff Bay multi-storey car park, especially from WMC’s one million casual visitors. Winter weekends of special free events, targeted at families, attracted almost 22,000 people to the centre. The business has already benefitted from an increase in weekend use, raised profile and positive association.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Telegraph Media Group
finalist Telegraph Media Group
Roedd y nodau a rennir gan Telegraph Media Group a’i bartner celfyddydol, Gŵyl y Gelli Gandryll, wrth ymgysylltu ag awduron a darllenwyr, wedi creu argraff ar y beirniaid. Yn ychwanegol at gymorth ariannol a golygyddol sylweddol, mae’r nawdd teitl yn cynnwys meithrin talent ifanc trwy Brosiect y Sefydliadau Disglair. Treuliodd deg o fyfyrwyr Lefel-A o bob cwr o Gymru amser yng nghwmni prif newyddiadurwyr y Telegraph ac mae tri eisoes wedi cael cynnig interniaethau gyda’r papur.
The judges were impressed with the shared aims of the Telegraph Media Group and its arts partner, the Hay Festival, in engaging both writers and readers. In addition to substantial cash and editorial support, the title sponsorship involves fostering young talent through the Beacons Project. Ten A-Level students from across Wales spend time with the Telegraph’s top journalists and three have already been offered internships at the newspaper.

In recognition of a partnership that stimulates community involvement and inclusion in the arts
Enillydd Pendine Park Care Organisation Mae gan Pendine Park ymrwymiad hirfaith i ymgorffori’r celfyddydau yn ei fusnes er budd preswylwyr a staff. Dechreuodd y bartneriaeth â Cherddorfa Hallé yn 2008 gyda rhaglen cerddor preswyl sydd bellach wedi ymgysylltu â thros 75 o breswylwyr. Mae’n gwella profiad a gwerthfawrogiad y cyfranogwyr o gerddoriaeth ac mae’n ymgysylltu â phobl gall, fel arall, golli eu hawydd i fyw bywyd yn llawn. Mae’r bartneriaeth hefyd yn cynnwys hyfforddiant staff sy’n galluogi gweithwyr Pendine i hwyluso sesiynau cerddoriaeth. Mae ymrwymiad y busnes i’r celfyddydau wedi ymestyn ymhellach trwy gydweithio ag Opera Cenedlaethol Cymru ar brosiect ysgrifennu a hel atgofion ac ymweliad gan barti cyngerdd. Canmolodd y beirniaid yr ymrwymiad gweledigaethol hwn i’r celfyddydau a ddisgrifiwyd ganddynt fel “profiad darostyngol”.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol John Lewis Mae Kathryn Tudor, artist gweithredol sy’n gweithio i John Lewis Caerdydd, ar secondiad i Gymdeithas Celfyddydau Adamstown lle mae’n arwain gweithdai i dros 100 o blant. Mae’r busnes hefyd yn cefnogi gwaith Llamau, elusen i’r digartref sy’n canolbwyntio ar bobl ifanc a gwragedd bregus, gan ariannu ei phrosiect côr y Big Sing. Bydd ymarferion wythnosol dan arweiniad Sing & Inspire yn helpu integreiddio, hunan-barch a hyder. Mae staff John Lewis hefyd yn cymryd rhan ac yn elwa ar y cymysgedd cymdeithasol unigryw hwn.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Waitrose Mae Waitrose wedi comisiynu TAPE, menter gymunedol yn Hen Golwyn, i greu ffilmiau ar gyfer ei fewnrwyd. Mae’r prosiect wedi cynnwys dros 80 o staff y busnes a 30 o bobl ifainc dan anfantais, y mae rhai ohonynt wedi mynd rhagddynt i astudio neu i sefydlu eu busnes bach eu hunain. Bydd y bartneriaeth yn cael ei hestyn ymhellach yn 2012, gan hyfforddi 40 o bobl leol eraill i greu rhaglenni ar gyfer y teledu.
fel rhan o’i gymorth i seremoni 2012, bydd Wales & West Utilities yn noddi prosiect newydd a gyflenwir gan un o’r partneriaid ar y rhestr fer yn y categori yma.
Winner Pendine Park Care Organisation Pendine Park has a long established commitment to embedding the arts into its business for the benefit of both residents and staff. The partnership with the Hallé Orchestra began in 2008 with a musician-in-residence programme that has now engaged over 75 residents. It enhances participants’ experience and appreciation of music and positively engages people who may otherwise lose their appetite for living life to the full. The partnership also includes staff training which enables Pendine employees to facilitate music sessions. The business’ commitment to the arts has been further extended by working with Welsh National Opera on a writing and reminiscence project and visiting concert party. The judges praised this visionary commitment to the arts which they described as “humbling to see”.
finalist John Lewis Cardiff Kathryn Tudor, a practising artist who works for John Lewis Cardiff, is seconded to Adamsdown Arts Association where she leads workshops for over 100 children. The business also supports the work of Llamau, a homeless charity focused on vulnerable young people and women, funding its Big Sing choir project. Weekly rehearsals, led by Sing & Inspire, help integration, self-esteem and confidence. John Lewis staff also take part and benefit from this unique social mix.
finalist Waitrose Waitrose has commissioned TAPE, a community initiative in Old Colwyn, to create films for its intranet. The project has engaged over 80 of the business’ staff and 30 disadvantaged young people, some of whom have gone on to study or set up their own small business. The partnership will be further extended in 2012, training an additional 40 local people to create programmes for TV.
As part of its support of the 2012 ceremony, Wales & West Utilities will sponsor a new project delivered by one of the shortlisted arts partners in this category.
Celfyddydau, Busnes a Phobl Ifanc
Arts, Business & Young People
I gydnabod partneriaeth sydd wedi manteisio ar bŵer y celfyddydau i ymgysylltu â phobl ifanc
In recognition of a partnership that has harnessed the power of the arts to engage young people
Enillydd Cymdeithas Bêl-Droed Cymru
Winner Football Association of Wales
“Prosiect bendigedig” oedd disgrifiad y beirniaid o’r bartneriaeth rhwng Cymdeithas Bêl-droed Cymru a Pippins Designs. Roedd y CBDC eisiau ymgysylltu â phobl ifainc byddai fel arfer yn ffeindio hi’n anodd i fynychu digwyddiadau pêldroed rhyngwladol. Ers 2009, mae 500 o blant anabl a dan anfantais wedi cydweithio â Pippins ym mhrif ganolfannau chwaraeon yn Ne Cymru yn paentio portreadau o’u harwyr. Cyn pob gêm ryngwladol gartref, byddai plant lleol yn creu gwaith celf i’w arddangos er mwyn dathlu’r digwyddiad. Buont hefyd yn mynychu sesiynau hyfforddi tîm Cymru a’r gemau eu hunain fel gwahoddedigion tra phwysig. Helpodd staff y CBDC gyda’r paentio ym mhob gweithdy, gan roi tipyn o hwb i’r morâl.
The judges called the partnership between Football Association of Wales and Pippins Designs “a brilliant project”. The FAW wanted to engage with youngsters who may normally find it difficult to attend international football events. Since 2009, 500 disabled and disadvantaged children have worked with Pippins at major sports venues in South Wales painting portraits of their heroes. Prior to each home international, local children created artworks for display in celebration of the event. They also attended Wales team training sessions and the matches themselves as VIP guests. FAW staff helped with the painting in each workshop, boosting morale considerably.
Mor llwyddiannus fu’r prosiect i’r ddau bartner, maent wedi ymrwymo i gydweithio tan 2014 fan leiaf. Meddai John a Sally Phillips o Pippins Designs “mae’r profiadau anhygoel a grëwyd i’r bobl ifanc hyn trwy’r bartneriaeth gyda’r CBDC, yn werth llawer mwy na’r hyn y gall arian ei brynu”.
The project has been so successful for both partners that they have committed to work together until at least 2014. Jon and Sally Phillips of Pippins Designs said “the amazing experiences that the FAW helped us to create for these young people are worth far more than money can buy”.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Gamlins Cymerodd Cyfreithwyr Gamlins eu camau cyntaf yn y bartneriaeth gelfyddydol trwy weithio â Mostyn, Llandudno. Noddwyd y cwmni arddangosfa fawr gan David Nash, artist rhyngwladol o fri, ynghyd â gweithdai i dros 150 o blant. Roedd y bartneriaeth yn gyfle i’r cyfranogwyr greu eu gwaith eu hunain i’w arddangos yn yr oriel yn ogystal â chael sesiynau ysgrifennu â’r beirdd Gillian Clarke a Twm Morys. Canmolwyd Gamlins gan y beirniaid am ddod â chelf ac ysgrifennu cyfoes ynghyd mewn prosiect arloesol a phellgyrhaeddol.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Redrow Homes South Wales Crëwyd argraff ar y beirniaid gan bartneriaeth Redrow ag Only Boys Aloud, gan gydnabod y nodau a rennir, sef adeiladu perthnasoedd cymunedol cryf. Mae gan y busnes ddatblygiadau ym mhob un o Gymoedd De Cymru lle y mae OBA yn ymarfer. Mae’r nawdd yn cyfrannu i gostau teithio penaethiaid tîm y côr a thuag at logi canolfannau ymarfer. Mae Redrow hefyd yn cynnig lleoliadau profiad gwaith i’r bechgyn yn eu harddegau gan noddi gwobr am ymrwymiad rhagorol i OBA.
finalist Gamlins Gamlins Solicitors took its first steps in arts partnership with Llandudno’s Mostyn. The firm sponsored a major exhibition by internationally renowned David Nash and workshops for over 150 children. This support enabled the participants to produce their own work to be shown at the gallery as well as having writing sessions with poets Gillian Clarke and Twm Morys. The judges praised Gamlins for bringing contemporary art and writing together in an innovative and far-reaching project.
finalist Redrow Homes South Wales The judges were impressed by Redrow’s partnership with Only Boys Aloud, recognising shared aims of building strong community relationships. The business has developments in each of the South Wales Valleys where OBA rehearse. The sponsorship contributes to the travel costs of the choir’s team captains and towards hiring rehearsal venues. Redrow also offers work experience placements to the teenagers and sponsors an award for outstanding commitment to OBA.

I gydnabod y gefnogaeth hanfodol a roddir i’r celfyddydau gan fusnes â throsiant o lai na £2 miliwn a llai na 100 o weithwyr
In recognition of the vital support given to the arts by a business with a turnover of less than £2 million and fewer than 100 employees
Enillydd Salisbury & Co Bu’r beirniaid yn unfrydol wrth ganmol cefnogaeth 8 mlynedd Salisbury & Co i Ŵyl Gerdd Ryngwladol Gogledd Cymru. Mae’r cwmni cyfrifeg yn darparu swyddfa ddi-dâl i’w bartner celfyddydol ac yn noddi cyngherddau unigol. Bu hyfforddiant oedd yn seiliedig ar y celfyddydau, a gyflwynwyd gan Gyfarwyddwr Artistig yr Ŵyl, yn gyfrifol am greu gwir ddiddordeb ymysg y staff mewn cerddoriaeth ac yn yr ŵyl yn benodol. Yn 2011, bu Salisbury hefyd yn cefnogi digwyddiadau cymunedol yn Llanelwy, gan godi proffil yr ŵyl wrth i gerddorion berfformio y tu allan i’w swyddfa. Denodd hyn y torfeydd, dros 200 o blant ysgol lleol yn eu plith, gan ddiddanu pobl wrth iddynt fynd heibio ar y stryd ynghyd â staff y busnes. Sicrhaodd y perfformiad hynod weledol hwn fod pawb yn y dre’n dod yn fwy ymwybodol o’r ŵyl a gynhelir ers 40 mlynedd. Mae Salisbury wrth ei fodd fod y bartneriaeth wedi ymgymryd ag agweddau newydd a chyffrous ac mae’n ffyddiog y bydd yn dal ati i ffynnu yn 2012.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Lawrence Miller & Co Crëwyd argraff ar y beirniaid gan ymrwymiad cadarn Lawrence Miller & Co i Gymdeithas Jazz Torfaen ynghyd â’r modd y mae’r bartneriaeth yn gweddu i’r dim. Mae’r nawdd yn dod ag enwau mawr jazz i’r fro. Cred y cwmni gwasanaethau ariannol fod y cysylltiad hwn yn codi’i broffil yn y gymuned yn effeithiol. Mae trosiant y busnes wedi cynyddu drwy gydol y dirwasgiad economaidd, rhywbeth y mae Lawrence Miller yn ei briodoli i’r ffaith bod ei ethos yn cael ei gyfleu’n glir i’w ddarpar gleientiaid yn ogystal â’r rhai presennol.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Peninsula Home Improvements Aeth Peninsula i bartneriaeth â’r gwasanaeth cerdd yng Ngogledd Cymru, Gwasanaeth Ysgolion William Mathias, yng Ngŵyl Hafnos Jazz 2011, cyngerdd awyr agored arbennig a gynhaliwyd ar diroedd Plas Newydd yn Ynys Môn. Bu’r busnes hefyd yn cynorthwyo cynllun bwrsari i 25 o blant lleol dan anfantais i gael mynediad i ysgol haf y partner celfyddydol. Mae Peninsula eisoes wedi ymrwymo i roi nawdd yn 2012 a chanmolodd y beirniaid y bartneriaeth gydfuddiannol a fu’n ymgysylltu â theuluoedd lleol gan roi cymorth i bobl ifainc ddawnus.
Winner Salisbury & Co The judges were unanimous in their praise of Salisbury & Co’s 8 year support of the North Wales International Music Festival. The accountancy firm provides free office accommodation for its arts partner and sponsors individual concerts. Arts based training delivered by the festival’s Artistic Director generated a genuine staff interest in music and the festival in particular. In 2011, Salisbury also supported community events in St Asaph, raising the festival’s profile as musicians performed outside its office. This drew crowds, including over 200 local school children, and entertained passers by and the business’ staff. This highly visible performance ensured that everyone in the town become more aware of the festival that has been running for 40 years. Salisbury is delighted that the partnership has taken on new and exciting dimensions and is confident that it will continue to thrive in 2012.
finalist Lawrence Miller & Co Lawrence Miller & Co’s strong commitment to the Torfaen Jazz Society and the partnership’s perfect fit impressed the judges. The sponsorship brings the top names in jazz to the local area. The financial services company believes that this association effectively raises its community profile. Business turnover has increased through the economic recession, which Lawrence Miller attributes to a clear communication of its ethos to existing and prospective clients.
finalist Peninsula Home Improvements Peninsula partnered the North Wales music service Gwasanaeth Ysgolion William Mathias in Summer Night Jazz 2011, a special outdoor concert held in the grounds of Plas Newydd on Anglesey. The business also supported a bursary scheme for 25 local disadvantaged children to access the arts partner’s summer school. Peninsula has already committed sponsorship for 2012 and the judges praised the mutually beneficial partnership that engaged local families and supported talented young people.

Enillydd First Great Western
Winner First Great Western
Roedd First Great Western am godi ymwybyddiaeth o deithio cynaliadwy i gyrchfannau hamdden Caerdydd a’i hysbysu trwy gysylltiad â Chanolfan Mileniwm Cymru. Bu’r bartneriaeth yn targedu dau goleg ar y lein – Prifysgol Fetropolitan Abertawe a Choleg Celf a Thechnoleg Gwlad yr Haf – gan ddenu myfyrwyr a staff y busnes i fynychu gweithdai a theithiau o gwmpas y Ganolfan.
First Great Western wanted to raise awareness of sustainable travel to Cardiff’s leisure destinations and increase its profile through association with Wales Millennium Centre. The partnership targeted two colleges on the train’s line – Swansea Metropolitan University and Somerset College of Art and Technology – engaging students and the business’ staff in workshops and tours of WMC.
Un o nodau craidd y Ganolfan yw datblygu cynulleidfaoedd ifainc yn Ne Cymru a De Gorllewin Lloegr. Dangosodd teithio ar lein y First Great Western i’r myfyrwyr pa mor hawdd y gallent gyrraedd y Ganolfan a dywedodd 90% ohonynt y byddent yn ymweld eto trwy ddefnyddio’r trên.
Developing young audiences in South Wales and the South West of England is a core aim of the centre. Travelling on the First Great Western line demonstrated to the students how easily they could reach WMC and 90% of them said they would visit again by train.
Roedd y ddau bartner wrth eu boddau â llwyddiant y prosiect a maent yn parhau i gydweithio dros y flwyddyn sydd i ddod. Teimlai’r beirniaid mai enillydd clir oedd y bartneriaeth gan ganmol yr amcanion – cynaliadwyedd a datblygu cronfa gwsmeriaid ehangach – a rennir gan y ddau bartner.
Both partners were delighted with the success of the project and are continuing to work together over the coming year. The judges felt the partnership was a clear winner and praised its shared aims of sustainability and developing a wider customer base.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Arriva Trains Wales Anelodd Arriva a Llenyddiaeth Cymru i ddatblygu sgiliau ysgrifennu creadigol pobl ifainc drwy gyfres o weithdai ar fwrdd trenau. Bu dros 200 o blant o Gymoedd De Cymru’n ysgrifennu barddoniaeth wrth deithio trwy gefn gwlad yng nghwmni awdur enwog. Mae’r gwaith dwyieithog canlyniadol wedi cael ei argraffu ar bosteri sydd yn cael ei arddangos ledled rhwydwaith Trenau Arriva. Bu’r beirniaid yn canmol y ffordd roedd y prosiect wedi annog creadigrwydd yn ogystal â’r buddion amgylcheddol a ddaw yn sgil teithio ar y trên.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Admiral, Blazers Caravan Company, Castell Howell Foods, Castle Bingo, Lazerzone, South West Wales Media Roedd y beirniaid am gymeradwyo holl noddwyr Theatr Grand Slam am eu hymrwymiad i adfywiad trefol. Mae sefydlu’r ganolfan theatr weithredol mewn hen siop wedi chwarae rhan bwysig yn yr trawsnewidiad sydd ar y gweill ar Stryd Fawr Abertawe. Mae’r gofod newydd yn gartref i gynhyrchiad llwyddiannus Cappuccino Girls gan Mal Pope ers Hydref 2011.
finalist Arriva Trains Wales Arriva and Literature Wales aimed to develop young people’s creative writing skills through a series of workshops on board trains. Over 200 children from the South Wales Valleys wrote poetry while travelling through the countryside with a celebrated author. The resulting bilingual work has been printed on posters that are displayed throughout the Arriva Trains network. The judges praised the way the project encouraged creativity as well as the environmental benefits of train travel.
finalists Admiral, Blazers Caravan Company, Castell Howell Foods, Castle Bingo, Lazerzone, South West Wales Media The judges wanted to commend all the sponsors of Grand Slam Theatre for their commitment to urban regeneration. The establishment of the working theatre venue in a disused shop has played a major part in the ongoing transformation of Swansea’s High Street. The new space has been home to the successful production of Mal Pope’s Cappuccino Girls since Autumn 2011.

Enillydd T-Mobile Roedd y beirniaid yn unfrydol wrth gefnogi partneriaeth T-Mobile â Sing & Inspire a gychwynnodd yn 2010 gyda sefydlu côr i’r staff. Mae Sing & Inspire hefyd wedi cyflwyno hyfforddiant Pŵer Lleisiol i 234 o Arweinwyr Tîm a Rheolwyr yng nghanolfan alwadau Merthyr Tudful. Cyflawnwyd nodau’r bartneriaeth, sef gwella bodlonrwydd gweithwyr a chwsmeriaid a lleihau salwch, gyda chanlyniadau nodedig. Cynyddodd bodlonrwydd cwsmeriaid 41%. Mae gostyngiad 50% mewn lefelau salwch yn golygu bod y busnes yn un o arweinwyr y farchnad yn y maes hwn ac mae’r gostyngiad yn arbed tua £80,000 y flwyddyn i T-Mobile. Gyda thros 100 o aelodau, mae gan T-Mobile y côr corfforaethol mwyaf yn y DU. O ganlyniad uniongyrchol i’r bartneriaeth, derbyniodd safle Merthyr, ynghyd ag anrhydeddau eraill, Wobr Aur Buddsoddwyr mewn Pobl. Mae trafodaeth bellach ar y gweill i gyflwyno’r prosiect fesul cam ar draws 5 safle’r cwmni yn y DU.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Admiral Group plc Pob blwyddyn mae dros 500 o staff Admiral bellach yn cyfranogi mewn gweithgareddau yng Nghanolfan Gelfyddydau Chapter. Mae’r nawdd 3 blynedd, a gychwynnodd yn 2010, yn cynnwys gostyngiadau a thocynnau am ddim yn ogystal â gweithdai gyda chwmnïau preswyl y ganolfan. Mae partneriaeth barhaus Admiral â NoFit State Circus yn canolbwyntio ar ddatblygu dealltwriaeth a sgiliau staff wrth asesu risg trwy ddulliau difyr o feithrin tîm. Canmolwyd y busnes gan y beirniaid am ddefnyddio’r celfyddydau mewn ffordd mor greadigol i ymgysylltu â’i staff a’u datblygu.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Valero Dechreuodd Purfa Olew Valero o Sir Benfro gydweithio â Hyfforddiant Creadigol Act Now yn 2010. Erbyn hyn mae’r symudiad mentrus i ddefnyddio technegau drama i ddatblygu sgiliau wrth gyfleu negeseuon Iechyd a Diogelwch allweddol yn fewnol wedi cyrraedd 180 o weithwyr. Mae’r hyfforddiant wedi gwella hyder a pherfformiad gweithredol y staff. Fel y dywedodd un cyfranogwr: “Ar ôl 20 mlynedd yn y diwydiant, dyma’r cwrs hyfforddiant mwyaf cofiadwy ac addysgiadol – ac angenrheidiol i’r holl oruchwylwyr, hen a newydd”.
Winner T-Mobile The judges were unanimous in their support of T-Mobile’s partnership with Sing & Inspire, which began in 2010 with the formation of a staff choir. Sing & Inspire has also delivered Vocal Power training to 234 Team Leaders and Managers at the Merthyr Tydfil call centre. The aims of improving employee and customer satisfaction and reducing sickness were achieved with remarkable results. Customer satisfaction increased by 41%. A fall of 50% in sickness levels makes the business a market leader in this area and the reduction saves T-Mobile approximately £80,000 per year. With over 100 members, T-mobile now has the largest corporate choir in the UK. As a direct result of the partnership, the Merthyr site was awarded, among other accolades, a Gold Investors in People Award. Discussions are now underway to roll out the project across the company’s 5 UK sites.
finalist Admiral Group plc Over 500 Admiral staff now participate in activities at Chapter Arts Centre every year. The 3 year sponsorship, which began in 2010, includes discounts and free tickets as well as workshops with the centre’s resident companies. Admiral’s ongoing partnership with NoFit State Circus focusses on developing staff understanding and skills in risk assessment through enjoyable forms of team building. The judges praised the business for using the arts so creatively to engage and develop its staff.
finalist Valero Pembrokeshire based Valero Refinery began working with Act Now Creative Training in 2010. The bold move to use drama techniques to develop skills in communicating key Health & Safety messages internally has now reached 180 employees. The training has enhanced staff confidence and improved operational performance. As one participant said: “After 20 years in industry, this has been the most memorable and informative training course – a must for all new and existing supervisors”.

Enillydd Hoffi Yn un o brif noddwyr Gŵyl Dylunio Caerdydd ers pan gafodd ei sefydlu, dechreuodd Hoffi y bartneriaeth er mwyn codi’i broffil. Yn gwmni dylunio, sydd ag ymagwedd flaengar tuag at strategaeth, hunaniaeth a chyfleu brand, teimlai Hoffi fod gweledigaeth yr ŵyl yn gweddu’n berffaith. Mae ei waith dylunio argraffu ac ar wefan wedi helpu’r ŵyl i sefydlu presenoldeb gweledol cryf gyda brand sy’n wahanol ac yn esblygol. Mae Hoffi yn helpu trefnwyr yr ŵyl i gadw’n gyfredol o ran syniadaeth yn ogystal ag ymarfer dylunio, gan sicrhau delwedd ffres a pherthnasol. Dros 6 blynedd, mae’r berthynas wedi tyfu gan adael i’r busnes roi cynnig ar syniadau dylunio newydd a monitro eu heffaith, meithrin cysylltiadau â gweithwyr dylunio proffesiynol eraill a chyrchu cyfleoedd datblygu unigryw ar gyfer ei 4 gweithiwr. Roedd natur gilyddol y bartneriaeth wedi creu argraff arbennig ar y beirniaid a buont yn llongyfarch Hoffi ar ei ymrwymiad gweledigaethol hirdymor.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol Legal & General Dymunai’r beirniaid gydnabod partneriaeth trawiadol 10 mlynedd Legal & General â Theatr Hijinx. Wrth ddangos ei ymrwymiad i gyfartaledd cyfle, mae’r busnes wedi canolbwyntio’i gymorth ar theatr Odyssey Hijinx. Galluogodd nawdd taith gymunedol 2011 ddau actor ifanc â Syndrom Down, sydd wedi datblygu eu sgiliau yn Odyssey, i gymryd rhan mewn cynhyrchiad proffesiynol. Mae’r busnes bellach wedi cytuno i gynorthwyo menter hyfforddi newydd i bobl ddawnus sydd ag anawsterau dysgu.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol ScottishPower Mewn 10 mlynedd, mae cymorth ScottishPower i Clwyd Theatr Cymru wedi golygu bod 10,000 o bobl ifainc wedi cymryd rhan mewn gweithdai drama. Mae’r rhain wedi amrywio o weithgareddau haf mewn ardaloedd gwledig anghysbell i feithrin tîm i ddisgyblion wedi’u dadrithio a rhaglen hyfforddi achrededig i bobl ifainc ag anawsterau dysgu. Yn ystod y 2 flynedd diwethaf, mae cymorth ScottishPower wedi canolbwyntio ar brosiect sy’n anelu at wella hunan-barch disgyblion sy’n ei chael hi’n anodd dygymod â symud o’r ysgol gynradd.
Winner Hoffi A major sponsor of the Cardiff Design Festival since it was established, Hoffi began the partnership in order to raise its profile. As a design company with a forward looking approach to brand strategy, identity and communications, Hoffi felt the vision of the festival was a perfect fit. Its print and website design has helped the festival establish a strong visual presence with a distinctive and evolving brand. Hoffi helps the festival organisers keep up to date with design thinking, as well as practice, ensuring a fresh and relevant image. Over 6 years, the relationship has grown allowing the business to try out new design ideas and monitor their impact, build links with other design professionals and access unique development opportunities for its 4 employees. The judges were particularly impressed by the reciprocal nature of the partnership and congratulated Hoffi on its visionary, long-term commitment.
finalist Legal & General The judges wished to recognise Legal & General’s impressive 10 year partnership with Hijinx Theatre. In demonstrating its commitment to equality of opportunity, the business has focussed its support on Hijinx’s Odyssey Theatre. Sponsorship of the 2011 community tour enabled two young actors with Down’s Syndrome who have developed their skills in Odyssey to take part in a professional production. The business has now agreed to support a new training initiative for talented people with learning disabilities.
finalist ScottishPower In 10 years, ScottishPower’s support of Clwyd Theatr Cymru has engaged over 10,000 young people in drama workshops.

In the past 2 years, ScottishPower’s support has focussed on a project which aims to improve the self esteem of pupils struggling with the move from primary school.

Enillydd Cymdeithas Adeiladu’r Principality
Winner Principality Building Society
Mae cymorth Cymdeithas Adeiladu’r Principality i Only Boys Aloud, oedd yn rownd derfynol Britain’s Got Talent, yn dwyn at ei gilydd dau sefydliad sy’n ceisio cael dylanwad cadarnhaol ar fywyd y rheini yn y cymunedau y maent yn eu gwasanaethu.
Principality Building Society’s support of Britain’s Got Talent finalists, Only Boys Aloud, brings together two organisations that aspire to positively influence the lives of those in the communities they serve.
Mae OBA yn cofleidio canu corawl fel ffordd y gall dynion ifainc, sydd yn aml wedi ymddieithrio, ehangu eu gorwelion er mwyn codi uwchben eu hamgylchiadau personol sydd weithiau’n anodd a thyfu o ran gallu a hyder mewn amgylchedd cefnogol. Gyda 175 o fechgyn yn eu harddegau mewn corau sy’n ymestyn o Cross Hands i Gwmbrân, mae gweithgarwch OBA yn cael ei ganolbwyntio mewn ardaloedd lle y mae Principality yn ffurfio asgwrn cefn y gymuned. Addawodd y gymdeithas adeiladu ei chefnogaeth pan ffurfiwyd OBA yn 2010, gan lofnodi cytundeb 3 blynedd fel ei brif noddwr dim ond 12 mis yn ddiweddarach. Ym mis Gorffennaf 2011, agorwyd Academi Principality Only Boys Aloud – cwrs preswyl wythnos ar ei hyd i fechgyn 16-19 oed sydd â gallu a photensial cerddorol profedig. Yn ystod y cwrs, anogwyd 32 o ddynion ifainc i ddatblygu trwy raglen a oedd yn heriol yn feddyliol yn ogystal ag yn gorfforol. O ganlyniad uniongyrchol, penderfynodd sawl un o’r bechgyn ddilyn gyrfa mewn cerddoriaeth ac maent wedi cael eu derbyn mewn conservatoires o gwmpas y wlad. Teimlai’r beirniaid fod ymrwymiad Principality i OBA yn rhagorol gan ganmol cynaliadwyedd, tŵf a natur gydfuddiannol y prosiect.
Yn y Rownd Derfynol
OBA embraces choral singing as a means for often disengaged young men to broaden their horizons, to rise above their sometimes difficult personal circumstances and grow in ability and confidence in a supportive environment. With 175 teenagers in choirs stretching from Cross Hands to Cwmbran, OBA’s activity is focused in areas where Principality forms the backbone of the community. The building society pledged its support as OBA was formed in 2010 and just 12 months on, signed a 3 year deal as principal sponsor. July 2011 saw the inaugral Principality Only Boys Aloud Academi – a week long residential course for 16-19 year old boys who have proven musical ability and potential. During the course, 32 young men were encouraged to grow through a programme which was both mentally and physically challenging. As a direct result, several teenagers decided to pursue a career in music and have been accepted at conservatoires around the country. The judges felt Principality’s commitment to OBA was exemplary and praised the partnership’s sustainability, growth and mutual benefit.

Enillydd Theatr Grand Slam
Winner Grand Slam Theatre
Cydweithiodd Theatr Grand Slam yn effeithiol â 6 phartner busnes yn 2011, gan sicrhau llwyddiant y gofod theatr newydd a Cappuccino Girls gan Mal Pope. Mae gan yr holl fusnesau ymrwymiad cadarn i adfywiad Stryd Fawr Abertawe, yn ogystal ag amcanion a rennir mewn cysylltiad â chodi proffil a gwneud cyfraniad ystyrlon i’r gymuned. Bu nifer o’r partneriaid hefyd yn cyrchu cyfleoedd creadigol i’w staff, yn amrywio o wirfoddoli wrth adeiladu’r theatr i berfformio yn y sioe.
Grand Slam Theatre worked effectively with 6 business partners in 2011, ensuring the success of the new theatre space and Mal Pope’s Cappuccino Girls. All the businesses have a firm commitment to the regeneration of Swansea’s High Street as well shared objectives of raising profile and making a meaningful contribution to the community. A number of the partners also accessed creative opportunities for their staff, ranging from volunteering in the construction of the theatre to performing in the show.
Crëwyd argraff ar y beirniaid gan amrywiaeth y noddwyr roedd Theatr Grand Slam wedi ymgysylltu â nhw, gan gynnwys yr unig gwmni yng Nghymru sydd ar restr y FTSE 100, Admiral, y cwmnïau adloniant lleol Castle Bingo a Lazerzone, ynghyd â Blazers Caravan Company, Castell Howell Foods yn ogystal â’u prif gefnogwr, South West Wales Media.
The judges were impressed by the range of sponsors that Grand Slam had engaged, which included Wales’ only FTSE 100 listed company Admiral, local entertainment firms Castle Bingo and Lazerzone, as well as Blazers Caravan Company, Castell Howell Foods and principal supporter South West Wales Media.
Roedd y prosiect mor llwyddiannus, cafodd rhediad cychwynnol y cynhyrchiad ei estyn tan Nadolig 2011. Bu’r gymuned fusnes yn rhannu brwdfrydedd a chred Mal yng ngrym y sioe a cychwynnodd ail dymor ym mis Ebrill 2012. Mae hyn wedi denu cefnogaeth gan nifer cynyddol o noddwyr, gan ategu safbwynt y beirniaid bod ymagwedd Grand Slam at ffyrdd cydfuddiannol sydd wedi’u teilwra o gydweithio â busnes yn wirioneddol ragorol.
The project was so successful that the initial run of the production was extended until Christmas 2011. The business community shared Mal’s enthusiasm and belief in the power of the show and a second season began in April 2012. This has drawn support from an increased number of sponsors, bearing out the judges’ view that Grand Slam’s approach to tailored and mutually beneficial ways of working with business is truly exemplary.
