Cyflwyniad

 

Cyflwynodd Dr Alan Axford wybodaeth am weithgareddau Plas Antaron fel Canolfan Byw’n Dda. Yn eu blwyddyn gyntaf darparwyd 1000 o oriau gwirfoddol ac erbyn y drydedd roedd yn 5000 o oriau gwirfoddol. Mae cleientiaid â salwch cronig yn cael cynnig therapïau amrywiol gyda chanlyniadau cadarnhaol iawn. Roedd angen arian cyfatebol o £300,000 i brynu Plas Antaron ac roedd ganddynt ddiffyg o £50,000 yr oedd angen ei gasglu erbyn mis Ionawr.

 

PENDERFYNWYD rhoi £5000 i HAHAV o'r Gronfa Argyfwng (£4100) ac o gyllideb y Grantiau Cymunedol (£900). Byddai hyn yn cael ei hysbysebu er mwyn denu cefnogaeth bellach i'r elusen

 

Presentation

 

Dr Alan Axford presented information on Plas Antaron’s activities as a Living Well Centre. In their first year they provided 1000 volunteer hours and by the third it was 5000 of volunteer hours. Clients with chronic ill health are offered various therapies with very positive outcomes.  Match funding of £300,000 was needed to purchase Plas Antaron and they had a shortfall of £50,000 which needed to be met by January.

 

It was RESOLVED to donate £5000 to HAHAV from the Emergency Fund (£4100) and Community Grant budget (£900).  This would be publicised to attract further support for the charity.

A220829/848:Y Ceffyl Gwyn

 

Mae’r Cyngor Tref YN GWRTHWYNEBU’r arwyddion sydd wedi’u goleuo’n fewnol ac arwyddion uniaith Saesneg (Tŷ Traddodiadol Rhydd) – gofynnion sydd wedi cael eu nodi yng Nghanllawiau Atodol Aberystwyth. Hoffai'r Cyngor ofyn yn garedig i'r perchnogion ystyried defnyddio'r enw Cymraeg hefyd hy Y Ceffyl Gwyn.  Byddai hyn yn cynrychioli cam busnes da o ran denu pobl lleol.

 

A220829/848:The White Horse

 

The Town Council OBJECTS to the internally illuminated and English only signage (Traditional Free House) both of which are noted in the Aberystwyth Supplementary Guidance.  The Council would also like to kindly request that the owners also consider using the Welsh name ie Y Ceffyl Gwyn.  This would represent a good business move in attracting local customers.

Cyng Steve Davies:

  • Roedd Cyngor Sir Ceredigion yn rhagweld y byddai'n wynebu heriau ariannol difrifol oherwydd llai o arian gan y Llywodraeth gan fod y cyfrifiad wedi'i gynnal pan oedd myfyrwyr i ffwrdd. Roedd 800 o swyddi eisoes wedi'u colli.

 

Cyng Alun Williams

156.1

Un Llais Cymru: cais am adborth ar gyllid LlC ar gyfer hybiau cynnes. Roedd CAVO yn dosbarthu'r cyllid yng Ngheredigion. Roedd saith canolbwynt a byddai cyllid parhaus yn fuddiol, fodd bynnag, dylid mynd i'r afael â'r agenda ehangach hefyd ee argaeledd tai eco i bobl hŷn.

 

One Voice Wales: a request for feedback on WG funding for warm hubs.  CAVO was distributing the funding in Ceredigion. There were seven hubs and continuous funding would be beneficial, however, the wider agenda should also be addressed eg availability of eco housing for older people.
