Ers mis Medi 2022 mae natur esblygol yr argyfwng costau byw ac effaith gadarnhaol ymgyrchoedd codi ymwybyddiaeth Llywodraeth Cymru wedi arwain at alw pellach ar y Gronfa, gyda mwy a mwy o unigolion yn troi ati am gymorth ariannol bob mis. Ym mis Ionawr 2023 yn unig, daeth dros 60,000 o geisiadau i'r Gronfa, gan arwain at £4 miliwn mewn grantiau, y gwariant misol uchaf ers i Lywodraeth Cymru sefydlu’r Gronfa yn 2013.
Since September 2022 the evolving nature of the cost-of-living crisis and the positive impact of the Welsh Government’s awareness raising campaigns has filtered through to demand on the fund, with more and more individuals turning to the DAF for financial support each month. In January 2023 alone, more than 60,000 applications were received into the fund, resulting in £4 million in grants, the highest monthly spend since the fund was established by Welsh Government in 2013.
