Mae plant a phobl ifanc wedi colli cynifer o gyfleoedd i chwarae a chymdeithasu yn ystod y pandemig. Rwy’n hynod falch bod y Llywodraeth wedi ymateb mor gadarnhaol i’r galwadau am Haf o Hwyl a wnaed gennyf gyda’r Urdd a Chwaraeon Cymru. Mae’r cyllid sydd wedi’i gyhoeddi heddiw yn ystyried y materion a godwyd yn ystod digwyddiad bwrdd crwn mawr a gynhaliwyd gennym ar y pwnc yn gynharach eleni, gan gynnwys yr angen am ragor o gymorth ar gyfer costau trafnidiaeth, darpariaeth cyfrwng Cymraeg a dull wedi’i dargedu ar gyfer plant anabl, y rhai ar incwm isel a phlant o gymunedau du, Asiaidd ac ethnig leiafrifol. Dewch inni sicrhau bod pob plentyn a pherson ifanc yng Nghymru yn awr yn cael haf o hwyl ar ôl blwyddyn mor ansefydlog.
Children and young people have missed out on so many opportunities to play and socialise during the pandemic. I’m so pleased that the Government has responded so positively to the calls I made with the Urdd and Sport Wales for a Summer of Fun. The funding announced today takes into account the issues raised during a large round-table event we hosted on the subject earlier this year, including the need for more support for transport costs, Welsh medium provision and targeted approach to disabled children, those on low income and children from Black, Asian and ethnic minority communities. Let’s ensure every child and young person in Wales now has a summer of fun after such a rollercoaster year.
