Innovate Trust

Achieving independence, together. Gyflawni annibyniaeth, gyda'n gilydd. Cefnogi oedolion ag anabledd dysgu ers 1967.

Over the past 5 weeks we have joined up with the brilliant Amy’s Ark in Pontypridd to give the people we support, a chance to be 'Farmer for a Day'.

Everyone has enjoyed meeting and caring for the animals, learning new skills, getting involved in daily farm tasks, and spending time outdoors.

Amy created such a friendly, inclusive, and supportive environment, with the most spectacular views! The calm nature of the animals helped everyone feel safe, relaxed, and confident to get involved. Lots of us are already keen to return for another visit. There was plenty of jobs to do, and so many gorgeous characters to meet. It was a great experience, and we very much look forward to working together again in the future.

Thank you, Amy, for your warm welcome, and your commitment to making these experiences so meaningful.

Dros y 5 wythnos diwethaf rydym wedi ymuno ag Amy’s Ark gwych ym Mhontypridd i roi cyfle i'r bobl rydyn ni'n eu cefnogi i fod yn 'Ffermwr am Ddiwrnod'.

Mae pawb wedi mwynhau cyfarfod a gofalu am yr anifeiliaid, dysgu sgiliau newydd, cymryd rhan mewn tasgau fferm dyddiol, a threulio amser yn yr awyr agored.

Creodd Amy amgylchedd mor gyfeillgar, cynhwysol a chefnogol, gyda'r golygfeydd mwyaf ysblennydd! Roedd natur dawel yr anifeiliaid yn helpu pawb i deimlo'n ddiogel, yn hamddenol ac yn hyderus i gymryd rhan. Mae llawer ohonom eisoes yn awyddus i ddychwelyd am ymweliad arall. Roedd digon o swyddi i'w gwneud, a chymaint o gymeriadau hyfryd i'w cwrdd. Roedd yn brofiad gwych, ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen yn fawr at weithio gyda'n gilydd eto yn y dyfodol.

Diolch, Amy, am eich croeso cynnes, a'ch ymrwymiad i wneud y profiadau hyn mor ystyrlon.

We wanted to send a big thank you today to our Accessible Sailing volunteers. To Annaliese, John, Kevin and Monkey, these sessions would not be what they are to so many, without you. You commitment is so appreciated, as is your enthusiasm and hard work no matter the weather! Let's all take a break now until May 2027, and set sail for season number 21! ⛵

Roeddem am anfon diolch yn fawr heddiw i'n gwirfoddolwyr Hwylio Hygyrch. I Annaliese, John, Kevin a Monkey, ni fyddai'r sesiynau hyn yr hyn ydyn nhw i gymaint o bobl, heb chi. Mae eich ymrwymiad yn cael ei werthfawrogi mor fawr, fel y mae eich brwdfrydedd a'ch gwaith caled waeth beth fo'r tywydd! Gadewch i ni i gyd gymryd seibiant nawr tan fis Mai 2027, a hwylio ar gyfer tymor rhif 21! ⛵

We've been busy enhancing the Volunteering Hub, thanks to additional funding from the WCVA CGGC Volunteering Wales Strategic Grant.

New features include:

An accessible volunteer application pack, co-produced with people we support.
A new online training platform with seven accessible courses.
Easy Read resources and interactive learning content.
More tools to help remove barriers and create inclusive volunteering opportunities.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to contribute to their community, build confidence, develop skills and experience the benefits of volunteering. We hope that these new resources are helping make that possible.

Rydym wedi bod yn brysur yn gwella'r Hwb Gwirfoddoli, diolch i gyllid ychwanegol gan Grant Strategol WCVA CGGC Cymru.

Platfform hyfforddi ar-lein newydd gyda saith cwrs hygyrch
Adnoddau hawdd eu darllen a chynnwys dysgu rhyngweithiol
Mwy o offer i helpu i gael gwared ar rwystrau a chreu cyfleoedd gwirfoddoli cynhwysol

Credwn y dylai pawb gael y cyfle i gyfrannu at eu cymuned, meithrin hyder, datblygu sgiliau a phrofi manteision gwirfoddoli. Rydym yn gobeithio bod yr adnoddau newydd hyn yn helpu i wneud hynny'n bosibl.

Had a fantastic time yesterday at Ysgol Ty Coch Transition Event, chatting with school leavers and their families about what a future in supported living with Innovate Trust could look like.

There was lots of interest in our Insight App, and we were proud to share how it helps keep families, friends, and support networks connected and informed.

It was also a great opportunity to showcase our My Dream Home booklet, developed in collaboration with Cwm Taf Morgannwg Regional Partnership Board, which helps people explore their housing aspirations and plan for greater independence.

Take a look here: https://flipbook.so/flip/eCrorBq3He5TkVoZKiBL

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with us. We loved hearing about your goals and ambitions for the future!

Wedi cael amser gwych ddoe yn Digwyddiad Pontio Ysgol Ty Coch, yn sgwrsio gyda phobl sy'n gadael yr ysgol a'u teuluoedd am sut olwg allai fod ar ddyfodol byw â chymorth gydag Ymddiriedolaeth Arloesol.

Roedd llawer o ddiddordeb yn ein Insight App, ac roeddem yn falch o rannu sut mae'n helpu i gadw teuluoedd, ffrindiau a rhwydweithiau cymorth yn gysylltiedig ac yn wybodus.

Roedd hefyd yn gyfle gwych i arddangos ein llyfryn My Dream Home, a ddatblygwyd mewn cydweithrediad â Cwm Taf Morgannwg Regional Partnership Board, sy'n helpu pobl i archwilio eu dyheadau tai a chynllunio ar gyfer mwy o annibyniaeth.

Cymerwch olwg yma:https://flipbook.so/flip/eCrorBq3He5TkVoZKiBL

Diolch i bawb a stopiodd i sgwrsio â ni. Roeddem wrth ein bodd yn clywed am eich nodau a'ch uchelgeisiau ar gyfer y dyfodol!

Since moving into supported living with Innovate Trust, Annaliese has grown in confidence and independence, becoming a familiar face in her local community.

From volunteering at events, organising group outings, helping to make promotional videos, and to recently securing paid employment through our Beyond Barriers project. Annaliese's journey shows how the right support can help people live more independently, pursue their goals and play an active role in their communities.

Ers symud i fyw â chymorth gydag Innovate Trust, mae Annaliese wedi tyfu mewn hyder ac annibyniaeth, gan ddod yn wyneb cyfarwydd yn ei chymuned leol.

O wirfoddoli mewn digwyddiadau, trefnu teithiau grŵp, helpu i wneud fideos hyrwyddo, ac i sicrhau cyflogaeth â thâl yn ddiweddar trwy ein prosiect Beyond Barriers. Mae taith Annaliese yn dangos sut y gall y gefnogaeth gywir helpu pobl i fyw'n fwy annibynnol, dilyn eu nodau a chwarae rhan weithredol yn eu cymunedau.

With just one month to go until our exhibition opens at St Fagans Museum, we are continuing to introduce some of the incredible people who have helped shape the project through their ideas, creativity, and dedication.

You might remember our exhibition at the Wales Millennium Centre earlier this year as part of our Wales REACH project, in partnership with The Open University in Wales / Y Brifysgol Agored yng Nghymru.

Today, we would like you to meet Emily.

Emily first joined Wales REACH as a participant, keen to learn more about the history of Wales.

Through workshops, visits to places of historical importance, and creative activities, she became an active member of the group, supporting others and helping them get involved.

Her enthusiasm and commitment led to a paid role as a Project Facilitator with Wales REACH, where she now helps design the exhibition and supports others to share their voices and be part of the experience.

We cannot wait for you to see it. 💚

Gyda dim ond mis i fynd tan i'n arddangosfa agor yn Amgueddfa Sain Fagan, rydym yn parhau i gyflwyno rhai o'r bobl anhygoel sydd wedi helpu i lunio'r prosiect drwy eu syniadau, creadigrwydd, a'u ymroddiad.

Efallai y byddwch yn cofio ein harddangosfa yng Nghanolfan Genedlaethol Cymru Millennium yn gynharach eleni fel rhan o'n prosiect REACH Cymru, mewn partneriaeth â The Open University in Wales / Y Brifysgol Agored yng Nghymru

Heddiw, hoffem i chi gyfarfod Emily.

Ymunodd Emily gyntaf â Wales REACH ) fel cyfranogwraig, yn frwd i ddysgu mwy am hanes Cymru.

Trwy weithdai, ymweliadau â lleoedd o bwys hanesyddol, a gweithgareddau creadigol, daeth yn aelod gweithgar o'r grŵp, yn cefnogi eraill ac yn helpu nhw i gymryd rhan.

Ei brwdfrydedd a'i hymroddiad arweiniodd at swydd â thâl fel Cyflwynydd Prosiect gyda REACH Cymru, lle mae hi bellach yn helpu i ddylunio'r arddangosfa ac yn cefnogi eraill i rannu eu syniadau a bod yn rhan o'r profiad.

Ni allwn aros i chi ddod a weld ef. 💚

What a fantastic way to say goodbye to summer! 🚢

We were delighted to be invited by Cwm Taf People First for a boat trip around Cardiff Bay last recently. With beautiful sunshine, great company, music, below deck dancing, and even a bar on board, it was a brilliant day.

A huge thank you to Cwm Taf People First for the invitation and for providing such a fantastic opportunity for people to come together, have fun, and make lasting memories. We had an amazing time! 💙
