Sam Rowlands, Member of the Welsh Parliament for North Wales, is delighted to see two projects in his region receiving additional funding.
He said:
It is good to see two schemes in North Wales are benefitting from the latest round of grants from the Community Facilities Programme.
I am pleased to see Brighter Futures in Rhyl, which helps people in the community, receiving £17,870 towards an extension to the workshop and energy saving improvements.
While, one of the larger projects to be awarded funding is Tabernacl Bethesda, which has been awarded £50,000 towards improving sound insulation and renovating an outbuilding into a flexible space for music, dance and arts workshop.
Both are very worthwhile community projects and deserve support.
The Community Facilities Programme funds the purchase and improvement of facilities which provide opportunities for local people to improve their day to day lives.
Stephen Johnson, sustainability co-ordinator at Brighter Futures in Rhyl, said the funding had made a massive difference to them and they had been able to extend their workshop and opening hours.
He said:
We have been planning this for a long time, but now we are able to do it. It’s perfect timing as the numbers of people wanting to come are getting higher and higher. The energy saving improvements have also saved us so much money with our bills.
Sam Rowlands AS yn croesawu cyllid ychwanegol i gyfleusterau cymunedol yn y Gogledd
Mae Sam Rowlands, Aelod o’r Senedd dros Ogledd Cymru, yn falch iawn o weld dau brosiect yn ei ranbarth yn derbyn arian ychwanegol.
Meddai:
Mae'n braf gweld dau gynllun yn y Gogledd yn elwa ar y rowndiau diweddaraf o grantiau'r Rhaglen Cyfleusterau Cymunedol.
Dwi'n falch o weld Brighter Futures yn y Rhyl, sy'n helpu pobl yn y gymuned, yn derbyn £17,870 er mwyn creu estyniad i'r gweithdy a gwelliannau arbed ynni.
Un o'r prosiectau mwy o faint i gael arian yw Tabernacl Bethesda, sydd wedi derbyn £50,000 tuag at wella inswleiddio sain ac adnewyddu'r tai allan yn ofod hyblyg ar gyfer gweithdy cerddoriaeth, dawns a chelfyddydol.
Mae'r ddau yn brosiectau cymunedol gwerth chweil ac yn haeddu cefnogaeth.
Mae'r Rhaglen Cyfleusterau Cymunedol yn ariannu'r gwaith o brynu a gwella cyfleusterau sy'n cynnig cyfleoedd i bobl leol wella eu bywydau bob dydd.
Dywedodd Stephen Johnson, cydlynydd cynaliadwyedd Brighter Futures yn y Rhyl, fod y cyllid wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth enfawr iddyn nhw a'u bod wedi gallu ymestyn eu gweithdy a'u horiau agor.
Dywedodd:
Rydyn ni wedi bod yn cynllunio hyn ers amser hir, ond rŵan rydyn ni'n gallu bwrw iddi". Mae'n amseru perffaith gan fod y niferoedd sydd eisiau dod yma yn mynd yn cynyddu o hyd. Mae'r gwelliannau arbed ynni wedi arbed cymaint o arian i ni gyda'n biliau hefyd.
