Rwyf am achub ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i weithwyr ieuenctid ar hyd a lled y wlad am gefnogi pobl ifanc drwy’r pandemig. Mae staff wedi gweithio’n ddiflino i ailstrwythuro eu darpariaeth ar-lein drwy sesiynau digidol byw yn ogystal â chynnig cyngor a gwybodaeth 24 awr y dydd, 7 diwrnod yr wythnos. Mae hyn wedi helpu pobl ifanc sy’n dioddef problemau iechyd meddwl ac emosiynol. Wrth inni symud tuag at gyfnod newydd o ran gwaith ieuenctid yng Nghymru, ac adroddiad terfynol y Bwrdd Gwaith Ieuenctid Dros Dro ar fin cael ei gyhoeddi, rydym am wneud newidiadau positif sy’n gwneud gwahaniaeth i bobl ifanc yng Nghymru heddiw; ac mae hwn yn gam bach iawn i ddechrau’r daith honno.
I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to youth workers up and down the country for supporting young people through the pandemic. Staff have worked tirelessly to restructure delivery online through live digital sessions as well as providing advice and information 24/7. This has helped to support young people experiencing emotional and mental health issues. As we head towards a new era for youth work in Wales, and the publication of the Interim Youth Work Board’s final report very shortly, we look to make positive changes that make differences to young people in Wales today; this is just a small step in starting that journey.
