Mae’r argyfwng costau byw yn effeithio ar bawb, ond mae gofalwyr di-dâl yn arbennig o agored i deimlo’r wasgfa. Rwyf wedi rhoi £4.5 miliwn i barhau ein cronfa lwyddiannus, y Gronfa Gymorth i Ofalwyr, dros dair blynedd. Ers i’r gronfa gael ei sefydlu yn 2020, mae mwy na 10,000 o ofalwyr di-dâl wedi cael mynediad at grant bychan neu wybodaeth a chyngor drwy’r gronfa hon. Cyn sefydlu’r gronfa roedd bron i draean y buddiolwyr yn anhysbys i wasanaethau. Bydd ailagor y gronfa eleni yn sicrhau bod mwy o ofalwyr yn gallu cael mynediad at help ariannol ar unwaith neu gymorth parhaus i reoli eu rôl gofalu.
The cost-of-living is affecting everyone but unpaid carers are particularly vulnerable. I have allocated £4.5million to continue our successful Carers Support Fund over three years. Since the fund was set up in 2020, more than 10,000 unpaid carers have accessed a small grant or information and advice via this fund. Nearly a third of beneficiaries were previously unknown to services. Re-opening the fund this year will ensure more carers can access immediate financial help or ongoing support to manage their caring role.
