🕯️ Aberfan: A Nation Remembers | Cenedl yn Cofio

Today marks 60 years since the Aberfan disaster of 21 October 1966, when 144 lives were tragically lost, including 116 children.

We remember the children whose futures were taken, the families whose lives changed forever, and the community whose grief continues to echo through generations.

At Race Council Cymru, we stand in solidarity with the people of Aberfan, the survivors, and all those who carry the memory of their loved ones.

Six decades on, their stories remain woven into the history and heart of Wales. Their lives will never be forgotten.

With love, respect and deepest sympathy, we remember. 🕯️

❤️ Aberfan: Cenedl yn Cofio

Heddiw, mae 60 mlynedd ers trychineb Aberfan ar 21 Hydref 1966, pan gollwyd 144 o fywydau yn drasig, gan gynnwys 116 o blant.

Cofiwn am y plant y torrwyd eu dyfodol yn fyr, y teuluoedd y newidiwyd eu bywydau am byth, a’r gymuned y mae ei galar yn dal i atseinio drwy’r cenedlaethau.

Yng Nghyngor Hil Cymru, safwn mewn undod â phobl Aberfan, y goroeswyr, a phawb sy’n dal i gofio am eu hanwyliaid.

Chwe degawd yn ddiweddarach, mae eu straeon yn parhau’n rhan annatod o hanes a chalon Cymru. Ni fydd eu bywydau byth yn cael eu hanghofio.

Gyda chariad, parch a chydymdeimlad dwysaf, rydym yn cofio. 🕯️

🕯️ Aberfan: A Nation Remembers

Some moments in history leave a silence that generations can still feel. Aberfan is one of them.

On this day, we pause to remember the lives taken in the tragedy of 21 October 1966. We think of the children who should have had the chance to grow up, the families whose futures were forever altered, and a community that experienced a loss no words can truly express.

For Race Council Cymru, remembrance is an act of humanity. It is about recognising the lives behind the history, holding space for the grief that endures, and ensuring that the stories of those lost are carried forward with tenderness and respect.

Aberfan is a reminder that behind every historical tragedy are people, families and communities whose experiences must never be reduced to a date or a statistic. The compassion shown in the aftermath, and the bonds that helped a community endure, remain part of its lasting legacy.

Today, we hold the people of Aberfan in our thoughts. We remember those who lost their lives, stand in solidarity with their families and loved ones, and honour all those whose lives were changed that day.

Though time moves forward, remembrance remains. The children of Aberfan will always be part of the story of Wales, held in the hearts of a nation that has not forgotten them.

With love, respect and deepest sympathy, we remember. 🕯️

🕯️ Aberfan: Cenedl yn Cofio

Mae rhai eiliadau mewn hanes yn gadael tawelwch y gall cenedlaethau ei deimlo o hyd. Mae Aberfan yn un ohonyn nhw.

Ar y diwrnod hwn, rydym yn oedi i gofio'r bywydau a gollwyd yn nhrychineb 21 Hydref 1966. Rydym yn meddwl am y plant a ddylai fod wedi cael y cyfle i dyfu i fyny, y teuluoedd y newidiwyd eu dyfodol am byth, a chymuned a brofodd golled na all geiriau ei mynegi mewn gwirionedd.

I Gyngor Hil Cymru, mae cofio yn weithred ddynol. Mae'n ymwneud â chydnabod y bywydau y tu ôl i'r hanes, dal lle i'r galar sy'n parhau, a sicrhau bod straeon y rhai a gollwyd yn cael eu cario ymlaen gyda thynerwch a pharch.

Mae Aberfan yn atgoffa y tu ôl i bob trasiedi hanesyddol mae pobl, teuluoedd a chymunedau na ddylid byth lleihau eu profiadau i ddyddiad neu ystadegyn. Mae'r tosturi a ddangosir yn y canlyniad, a'r cysylltiadau a helpodd gymuned i oroesi, yn parhau i fod yn rhan o'i hetifeddiaeth barhaol.

Heddiw, rydym yn dal pobl Aberfan yn ein meddyliau. Rydym yn cofio'r rhai a gollodd eu bywydau, yn sefyll mewn undod â'u teuluoedd a'u hanwyliaid, ac yn anrhydeddu pawb y newidiwyd eu bywydau y diwrnod hwnnw.

Er bod amser yn symud ymlaen, mae'r cof yn parhau. Bydd plant Aberfan bob amser yn rhan o stori Cymru, wedi'u cadw yng nghalonnau cenedl nad yw wedi'u hanghofio.

Gyda chariad, parch a chydymdeimlad dwysaf, rydym yn cofio. 🕯️

Race Council Cymru was proud to be recognised in the Senedd chamber yesterday by Senedd Member Safa Elhassan MS, as part of a statement celebrating the invaluable contributions and achievements of diverse communities and third-sector organisations across Wales.

We are honoured to be acknowledged alongside our valued partners and fellow organisations, including the Chinese in Wales Association, Ethnic Youth Support Team, Race Equality First, and Show Racism the Red Card. This recognition reflects the collective commitment, resilience and dedication of organisations working tirelessly to build a fairer, more inclusive and equitable Wales.

By building on the achievements of those who paved the way before us, we will continue to champion equality, celebrate diversity, strengthen community cohesion, and support the health, wellbeing, inclusion and integration of people across Wales.

Our sincere thanks to Safa Elhassan MS for highlighting the vital work of diverse community organisations, and to our partners, staff, volunteers and communities whose commitment continues to drive positive and lasting change.

Together, we stand stronger in our shared ambition to create a Wales where everyone is valued, every voice is heard, and every community has the opportunity to thrive. 💛

💜 HATE CRIME AWARENESS WEEK | MONDAY WOMEN’S CIRCLE 💜

Creating safer, stronger and more inclusive communities starts with awareness, understanding and the courage to speak up.

As part of our commitment to supporting and empowering communities across Wales, Race Council Cymru is pleased to highlight this upcoming Hate Crime Awareness Session with South Wales Police, hosted by our Monday Women’s Circle at the Multicultural Hub, Swansea Grand Theatre.

📅 Monday 12 October 2026

The session will explore:
💜 What hate crime is and why reporting matters
💜 How hate crime can be addressed
💜 The difference between hate crime and non-crime hate incidents

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and valued, regardless of their background or identity. By raising awareness and encouraging open conversations, we can help build communities where hate has no place and everyone feels supported.
