Arts & Kids Cymru

Arts & Business Cymru has announced the first stage of a new programme in its portfolio of services which bring the private sector together with the arts. Thanks to funding from the Arts Council of Wales, Arts & Kids Cymru will engage socially disadvantaged young people aged between 0 - 19. 

Examples of such disadvantage includes:

• Illness, distress, abuse or neglect
• Any kind of disability
• Behavioural or psychological difficulties
• Living in poverty or situations of deprivation

All projects, delivered by professional practitioners, will be participatory and will aim to combat disadvantage and make a real difference to young people's lives through engagement with the arts.  

In order to ensure that the impact of Arts & Kids Cymru is maximised, a number of delivery methods will be developed over the coming 12-18 months.  The first stage of this innovative programme, Arts & Kids Invest, will run as an open application grant-making programme with decisions made on a quarterly basis by A&B Cymru’s existing Investment Panel.  The first Arts & Kids INVEST projects will be announced shortly.  It is hoped that a second arm of Arts & Kids Cymru will be operational from September.

For further information about how to access Arts & Kids Invest, contact Arts & Business Cymru on 029 2030 3023.

 

Trwy gyllid gan Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, bydd Celf & Phlant Cymru yn ymgysylltu’n â phobl ifanc dan anfantais gymdeithasol rhwng 0 a 19 oed. Mae Celfyddydau & Busnes Cymru wedi cyhoeddi’r cam cyntaf o raglen newydd yn ei restr o wasanaethau sy’n dod â’r sector preifat a’r celfyddydau at ei gilydd. 

Mae enghreifftiau o fanteision o’r fath yn cynnwys:

• Salwch, gofid, cam-drin neu esgeulustod
• Unrhyw fath o anabledd
• Anawsterau ymddygiad neu seicolegol
• Byw mewn tlodi neu mewn sefyllfa o amddifadedd

Bydd yr holl brosiectau, a gyflawnir gan ymarferwyr proffesiynol, yn rhai cyfranogol gyda’r nod o frwydro yn erbyn anfantais a gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i fywydau pobl ifanc drwy ymgysylltu â’r celfyddydau.  

Er mwyn sicrhau y caiff Celf & Phlant Cymru yr effaith fwyaf bosibl, datblygir nifer y dulliau cyflawni yn ystod y 12-18 mis nesaf. Bydd cam cyntaf y rhaglen arloesol hon, sef Buddsoddi Celf & Phlant, yn rhaglen dyfarnu grant ar sail cais agored. Bydd penderfyniadau yn cael eu gwneud yn chwarterol gan Banel Buddsoddi presennol Celfyddydau a Busnes Cymru. Cyhoeddir prosiectau cyntaf Buddsoddi Celf & Phlant yn fuan. Gobeithir y bydd ail ran Buddsoddi Celf & Phlant yn weithredol o fis Medi.
