Bydd y prosiect yn datblygu gwasanaethau gwirfoddoli o fewn cymuned iechyd Gorllewin Cymru mewn amrywiaeth o sefyllfaoedd megis acíwt, iechyd meddwl, anableddau dysgu, gwasanaethau cymunedol a gofal sylfaenol yng Ngheredigion, Sir Benfro a Sir Gâr Bydd y prosiect yn gwella'r ffordd y mae gwasanaethau iechyd presennol yn cael eu cyflenwi ar gyfer budd trigolion lleol trwy weithrediad trigolion lleol. Bydd hyn yn darparu cyfleoedd i wirfoddolwyr allu rhoi rhywbeth nôl i'r gymuned, cynorthwyo nhw i ymchwilio gyrfa yng ngofal iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, cynnal a datblygu sgiliau newydd, cynyddu rhyngweithio cymdeithasol trwy gyfarfod pobl newydd, galluogi gwirfoddolwyr i gael eu cydnabod fel adnodd gwerthfawr ac yn rhan allweddol o gyflenwi gwasanaeth o fewn y GIG.

Wrth i fwy o bobl leol gymryd rhan bydd hyn yn galluogi'r gymuned i greu cysylltiadau cryfach gyda'r GIG, gwella sgiliau lleol, gwella gofal a lles a chynorthwyo tuag at gadw pobl ifanc yn y gymuned leol. Os hoffech wybod mwy am y prosiect hwn, am sut i wirfoddoli trwy'r prosiect neu os yw eich sefydliad eisiau ymchwilio ffyrdd o gydweithio gyda'r prosiect byddwn yn hapus iawn i drafod y prosiect ymhellach gyda chi.

Bydd y sgiliau hyn yn cael eu meithrin trwy dasgau neilltuol, fel crefftio eitem allan o bren i'w gymeryd adref ar ddiwedd y dydd. Yn ogystal, bydd yr awyrgylch anffurfiol yn ystod egwyl o gwmpas y tân yn helpu pobl ifanc i siarad yn agored am unrhyw elfennau sy'n cael effaith negyddol ar eu bywydau.

Bûm yn gwirfoddoli yn CAVO dros wyliau haf yr ysgol. Roeddwn yn pryderu ychydig am nad oeddwn wedi gweithio mewn swyddfa o'r blaen. Roedd pawb yn garedig iawn ac fe wnes ymlacio ar unwaith. Yn ystod fy amser yno bûm yn helpu mewn diwrnod chwarae yn Aberaeron, ac yn ysgrifennu erthygl i wefan CAVO am y diwrnod. Defnyddiais y ffôn ac e-bost i gysylltu â phobl , a bûm yn gweithio
ar y gronfa ddata. Yn bendant mae'n werth gwirfoddoli gan fy mod wedi dysgu sgiliau newydd eisoes. Roedd CAVO wedi fy ngwneud yn rhan o'r tîm o'r cychwyn cyntaf. Ar fy niwrnod diwethaf roeddynt hyd yn oed wedi prynu cacen i ddiolch imi am fy ngwaith. Amy Knowles

New opportunity to access Engagement Gateway funding ‘PQQ’ Briefing session to be held in Lampeter. Organisations across Wales are being given another opportunity to access funding from WCVA’s Engagement Gateway project.

Hywel Dda Local Health Board Volunteering for Health Project. The Hywel Dda Local Health Board was recently awarded a grant from the National Lottery to set up, develop and deliver a project known as ‘Volunteering for Health’. The project will develop volunteering services within the health community of West Wales in a variety of settings for example; acute, mental health, learning disabilities, community services and primary care in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. The project will improve the way current health services are delivered for the benefit of local citizens through action by local citizens. For volunteers it will provide an opportunity to give something back to the community, help them explore a career in health and social care, maintain and develop new skills, increase social interaction by meeting new people, enable volunteers to be recognised as a valuable resource and an integral part of service delivery within the NHS. For the Hywel Dda Health Board it will help build on partnership working, develop stronger links with voluntary organisations delivering services for or on behalf on the NHS, provide a coordinated and cohesive approach for voluntary activities, increase standards and the quality of care, as local people become more involved it will enable the community to create stronger links with the NHS, improve local skills, improve health and wellbeing and help toward the retention of young people. If you would like to more about the project, find out about volunteering with the project or if your organization would like to explore ways of working with the project we’d be pleased to hear from you.

Branching Out/Egin - The Engagement Gateway Initiative If you think you might like a career working in the outdoor environment and are looking for training to improve your practical skills, why not take advantage of this initiative. The aim of the Engagement Gateway initiative is to enable disengaged young people, 16 - 25 years, who are not in employment, education or training, to develop the confidence and skills to follow pathways to employment and become active members of their community. The 2-year initiative will see groups of young people, led by Tir Coed approved tutors, being trained, for 2 days per week over a 3 month period, at woodland sites with public access in Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, in two key stages:
1
4 days of taster sessions - including green woodwork and countryside management workshops that will enable young people to focus on improving their confidence, communication and problem solving skills. These skills will be developed by means of small, achievable tasks, such as crafting an item from wood that they can take home with them. In addition, the informal atmosphere during breaks around the campfire will help young people to talk openly about issues within their lives that they may not normally feel able to discuss and which may be a barrier to participation.
2
Accredited courses - Work-based skills training will be matched with maintenance and improvement projects in the local community; this will involve woodland and countryside management, as well as making rustic furniture from wood, building wildlife hides and boardwalks and improving access to green spaces. Tir Coed has developed Woodland and Countryside Skills courses that offer a framework of Open College Network (OCN) accredited units. These courses are designed to further develop the vocational skills of participants, as well as progressing team work and organisational skills. A Mentor will help young people overcome any barriers to participation and full engagement. Working with the young people, local land-based small businesses and with other agencies, the Mentor will develop an exit route for each young person, based on progression to further learning, volunteer/work placements or employment in their chosen field of interest.

volunteered at CAVO over the school summer holiday. I was a bit anxious as I had never worked in an office before. Everyone was very nice and made me feel relaxed straight away. During my time there I helped out at a play event in Aberaeron, wrote an article for the CAVO website about the play event, I used the telephone and e-mailed to contact people and I worked on the
database. It is definitely worth volunteering because I learnt new skills and developed ones I already had. CAVO really made me part of the team from the very beginning. On my last day they even bought cake to thank me for my work! Amy Knowles
