Giving the Gift of freedom Yn rhoi Rhodd Rhyddid

Hafan Cymru is about far more than housing – donations and contributions from our supporters are a vital part in helping to change people’s lives.

More and more businesses, groups and individuals are backing our work. They want to help transform the future prospects of women, men and their children who are escaping from domestic violence and abuse.

What’s more, they’re having fun at the same time. Taking part in events can help to raise everyone’s spirits, build up team working and offer a high profile in the local and national media.

Last year, Hafan Cymru supported more than 1,000 adults and more than 1,200 children, not only to find secure homes but also with a range of services to tackle complex problems and offer new hope.

With offices across Wales, Hafan Cymru is helping people move on to live independent lives with services that range from housing to developing new skills, from work and education opportunities to personal development.

As the cuts in public finances begin to bite, the demand for our services is greater than ever and so is our need for support. A sum of £6,000 can provide a whole year’s support for

a woman or man and their children who are escaping from domestic abuse.

This newsletter explains more about our work, shows how we are helping people and offers opportunities for support. It will be published twice a year to keep you in touch and to see exactly how you, our supporters, are helping to change lives.

Helpwch Hafan Cymru – a newid bywydauMae Hafan Cymru’n golygu llawer mwy na thai – mae rhoddion a chyfraniadau gan ein cefnogwyr yn rhan allweddol wrth helpu i newid bywydau pobl.

Mae mwy a mwy o fusnesau, grwpiau ac unigolion yn cefnogi ein gwaith. Maen nhw eisiau helpu trawsnewid gobeithion menywod, dynion a’u plant sy’n dianc rhag trais domestig a cham-drin.

Yn fwy na hynny, maen nhw’n cael hwyl yr un pryd. Mae cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau’n gallu codi ysbryd pawb, yn datblygu gwaith tîm ac yn dwyn sylw yn y cyfryngau lleol a chenedlaethol.

Y llynedd, bu Hafan Cymru’n cefnogi mwy na 1,000 o oedolion a mwy na 1,200, nid yn unig i gael cartrefi diogel ond hefyd gydag amrywiaeth o

wasanaethau i fynd i’r afael â phroblemau cymhleth a chynnig gobaith newydd.

Gyda swyddfeydd led led y wlad, mae Hafan Cymru’n helpu pobl i symud ymlaen at fywydau annibynnol gyda gwasanaethau sy’n amrywio o dai i ddatblygu sgiliau newydd, o waith a chyfleoedd am addysg i ddatblygu personol.

Wrth i’r toriadau mewn arian cyhoeddus ddechrau brathu, mae’r angen am ein gwasanaethau’n fwy nag erioed ac felly hefyd ein hangen ni am gefnogaeth. Gall swm o £6,000 gynnig cymorth am flwyddyn gyfan i ddynes neu ddyn a’u plant sy’n dianc rhag cam-drin domestig.

Mae’r cylchlythyr hwn yn dweud rhagor am ein gwaith, yn dangos sut yr ydym yn helpu pobl ac yn cynnig cyfleoedd i gefnogi. Bydd yn cael ei gyhoeddi ddwywaith y flwyddyn i roi gwybod i chi beth sy’n digwydd ac i chi weld sut yr ydych, ein cefnogwyr, yn helpu i wella bywydau.

Hafan Cymru and you

There are all kinds of ways to raise money for Hafan Cymru and have fun at the same time. We have a Fundraising Pack full of ideas and tips.

Hafan Cymru’s team in Pembrokeshire is a good example – in two sessions of bag-packing and a little singing at one of their local Morrison’s stores, they have raised more than £3,700.

Such activities also help raise awareness and at least two people have been inspired to take part in other fund-raising events in Hafan Cymru’s name.

Hafan’s Fundraising Pack

includes ideas for people in the workplace or at schools and colleges, as well as a range of activities that one person could organise.

The Fundraising Pack also outlines 5 easy steps to follow to make sure your event is a success.

Can you follow Katherine ...?Last year, it was Katherine Jenkins; this year, could it be you?

There are several opportunities to follow in the footsteps of Wales’s most famous classical singer and raise money for Hafan Cymru.

Last year, Katherine swopped her fine gowns for running gear to take part in the Swansea 10k fun run and managed to raise more

than £11,000 towards Hafan Cymru’s work.

That’s more than enough to support one woman or man and their children to escape from domestic abuse and live independently for 12 months.

Katherine ran with a group of friends and even donated her running costume to be auctioned on eBay.

“I am always shocked when I hear the statistic

that one in four women are affected by abuse, be it emotional or physical, during their lives,” said Katherine.

Roedd Stacey wrth ei bodd yn ymuno gyda Katherine Jenkins

ar ras 10k bae Abertawe y llynedd i godi arian at Hafan Cymru.

Roedd yna lawer o resymau am hynny – ei bod wedi llwyddo i redeg mor bell, er enghraifft, a’r cyfle i ddiolch i Hafan Cymru.

Stacey yw un o’r cannoedd o fenywod y mae Hafan Cymru wedi eu helpu i ailadeiladu’u bywydau ar ôl dioddef cam-drin domestig.

Stacey was overjoyed to join Katherine Jenkins on last year’s Swansea 10k run to raise money for Hafan Cymru.

There were many reasons for her delight – being able to run the distance was one, being able to thank Hafan Cymru was another.

Stacey is one of the hundreds of women that Hafan Cymru has helped to rebuild their lives after domestic abuse.

Y llynedd, roedd Katherine Jenkins yno; eleni, chi?

Mae yna lawer o gyfleoedd i ddilyn yn ôl traed cantores glasurol enwocaf Cymru a chodi arian at Hafan Cymru.

Y llynedd, roedd Katherine wedi cyfnewid ei ffrogiau llaes am ddillad rhedeg er mwyn cymryd rhan yn ras hwyl 10k Abertawe. Fe lwyddodd hi godi mwy na £11,000 at waith

Hafan Cymru.Mae hynny’n fwy na digon i

gefnogi un wraig neu ddyn a’u plant i ddianc rhag cam-drin domestig a byw’n annibynnol am 12 mis.

Roedd Katherine yn rhedeg gyda gr[p o ffrindiau ac, ar ben hynny, fe gyfrannodd ei dillad rhedeg ar gyfer ocsiwn ar eBay.

“Dw i wastad yn dychryn

wrth glywed yr ystadegyn bod un o bob pedair menyw’n cael ei heffeithio gan gam-drin, yn emosiynol neu gorfforol, yn ystod eu hoes,” meddai Katherine.

Hafan Cymru a chi

Raising money can mean a day to remember for friends and family – as some of Hafan Cymru’s heroes have just shown.

When Brother and sister, Ian Roberts and Jen Davies, ran in the Great Manchester 10k run, their mother, Julie Roberts, was there cheering them on in the rain with her two grandchildren in a buggy.

Two of their friends, Philip

Truman and Iain Sear, had joined them to run too.

In the London Marathon, Sherrie Evans was

on hand with the camera

as husband, Martyn, crossed London Bridge and then the

finishing line.He is the first to

run the Marathon for Hafan Cymru and, as well as raising valuable funds, it was a great day, with thousands cheering him on.

Gallwch codi arian olygu diwrnod i’w gofio i ffrindiau a theulu – fel y dangosdd rhai o arwyr Hafan Cymru.

Pan redodd y brawd a’r chwaer, Ian Roberts a Jen Davies, yn Ras 10k Fawr Manceinion, roedd eu mam, Julie Roberts, yno yn y glaw yn eu hannog, gyda’i dau [yr bach mewn bygi.

Roedd dau o’u ffrindiau, Philip Truman ac Iain Sear, wedi ymuno â nhw hefyd.

Ac ym Marathon Llundain,

Making a day of it!

Diwrnod i’r brenin!

Having seen her family break up because of abuse when she was a small child, Stacey too ended up with an abusive and controlling partner.

But now she feels safe, following Hafan Cymru’s support with housing and experiencing the benefit of the Moving On learning and work programme and developing her basic skills.

“Hafan Cymru helped me to rebuild my confidence,” says

Stacey. “I was so pleased that I was able to do the Swansea 10k run.

“I want others to know of Hafan Cymru’s existence and to be able to contact them if they need help, just like i did.”

Ar ôl gweld ei theulu’n chwarae oherwydd cam-drin pan oedd hi’n ferch fach, fe gafodd Stacey hefyd ei chaethiwo gan bartner oedd yn ei rheoli a’i cham-drin.

Ond, bellach, mae’n teimlo’n ddiogel, ar ôl cael cefnogaeth Hafan Cymru i gael cartref ac elwa o’r rhaglen waith a dysgu, Symud Ymlaen, i ddatblygu ei sgiliau sylfaenol.

“Helpodd Hafan Cymru fi i godi fy hyder eto,” meddai

Stacey. “Ro’n i’n falch i allu gwneud y ras 10k yn Abertawe.

“Dw i eisiau i bobl eraill wybod am Hafan Cymru ac i allu cysylltu â nhw os bydd angen help, yn union fel y gwnes i.

Hafan Cymru and you

Ar ôl cael ei cham-drin am y rhan fwyaf o’i bywyd yn oedolyn, mae Michelle o’r diwedd yn gallu creu dyfodol newydd iddi’i hun, diolch i Hafan Cymru.

Mae’n cymryd rhan yn Rhaglen Rhyddid gan ennill mwy o hyder nag erioed o’r blaen; Digon o hyder i ddweud ei stori ...

Pan oedd hi’n ddim ond 16 oed ac eisoes yn fam sengl i ddau o efeilliaid, fe gafodd Michelle ei dal yn ei pherthynas greulon gyntaf.

A hithau’n feichiog eto, ar ôl trais a hyd yn oed dreisio, fe lwyddodd i ddianc i un o lochesi Cymorth i Fenywod. Oherwydd ei phrofiad a’r ofn na fyddai’n ymdopi, fe roddodd ei babi

newydd i’w fabwysiadu. “Roedd hwnnw’n amser anodd yn fy mywyd, ac mae’n

anodd o hyd,” meddai. “Ond mae’n gysur i fi a phobl eraill fel fi i wybod bod yna gefnogaeth i’w chael gan Hafan Cymru a chyrff eraill .”

Ond doedd problemau Michelle ddim ar ben. Yn ddiweddarach, fe gafodd bartner arall. Roedd yn edrych yn wych i ddechrau, cyn dechrau ei rheoli hi.

“Roedd y cam-drin yn rhywiol mewn ffordd sy’n rhy eithafol a garw i fi siarad amdano,” meddai. “Ro’n i’n gaeth yn y berthynas honno am bum mlynedd, nes methu â chymryd rhagor.“

“Mae Hafan Cymru wedi bod yn ardderchog a, thrwy wneud Rhaglen Rhyddid, mae gyda fi fwy o hyder nag a ddychmygais ei gael erioed.”

“Mae Hafan Cymru yno o hyd yn fy nghefnogi ar bob cam o’r daith ac mae hynny’n gysur mawr.”

After being abused for most of her adult life, Michelle is at last able to build a new future, thanks to Hafan Cymru.

She is taking part in the Freedom Programme and has more confidence than ever before; Enough confidence to tell her story.

When she was only 16 and already a single parent to twins, Michelle got caught in her first abusive relationship.

Pregnant again, after violence and even rape, she escaped to a Woman’s Aid refuge. Her experiences and a fear that she couldn’t cope made her decide to have her new baby adopted.

“That was a difficult time in my life and still is,” she says. “But knowing there is support out there from Hafan Cymru and other organisations is a great comfort to me and people in the same situation.”

Michelle’s trials weren’t over. Later she met another man, who seemed great at first but soon became controlling.

“He was very sexually abusive, to such a degree that I feel it is too harsh to talk about it,” she explains.

“I remained trapped in that relationship for five years until I finally snapped.”

“Hafan Cymru have been excellent and, in doing the Freedom Programme, I now have more confidence than ever I thought I would have.”

“Hafan Cymru are still there supporting me every step of the way and I take great comfort from that.”

Hafan Cymru and you

How Hafan Cymru support women to gain training, jobs and confidence.

Across Wales there are women taking up voluntary work and full-time jobs and returning to full or part time education who would have thought such a thing was impossible a short time ago.

These are the women being helped by Hafan Cymru’s Moving On Project – there are all kinds of success stories showing how women who have suffered from domestic abuse have been supported to build new lives for themselves and their families.

In 2010, the project helped 100 vulnerable women across Wales to move on. But Hafan Cymru hopes to do even more.

“Eventually we would love to be able to offer this service to all our service

users, because gaining employment is key to helping people achieve long term independence,” says Moving On Project Manager, Jayne Regan.

The programme offers a wide range of support – from basic skills to personal

development, from work experience or volunteer placements to support for moving into education and training or finding and keeping a job.

Hafan has a team of Employment Link Co-ordinators offering a complete package of support that can be tailored to meet the individual’s needs.

Hafan Cymru are looking for Voluntary agencies, public bodies and private companies who can all offer practical help too, by offering placements and jobs for people like Helen who are keen to get into work.

Helping Helen – to gain confidence and workHelen’s storyHelen, had to move to live in another part of Wales to escape domestic abuse. Now, thanks to the Moving On project, she completed 8 Open College Network qualifica-tions and moved on to more formal education. She completed a course on mentoring young offenders and is now a volunteer with a drug and alcohol counselling agency.

The gift of freedom – in wordsPoetry workshops help to heal the wounds.

A famous poet has been helping some of Hafan Cymru’s service users to put their feelings into words.

All across Wales, poetry workshops have been helping them to express themselves and work through their emotions.

“Poetry allows me to express my feelings and have

a sense of humour about my situation,” says Michelle Telford, who joined poet Patrick Jones in one of the workshops.

She wrote a poem wishing for an “easy life”, fighting back against the abuse she suffered from her former partner.

Mae gweithdai barddoniaeth Hafan Cymru’n help i wella’r clwyfau.

Mae bardd enwog wedi bod yn helpu rhai o ddefnyddwyr gwasanaethau Hafan Cymru i roi geiriau i’w teimladau.

Ar draws, fe fu gweithdai barddoniaeth yn eu helpu i fynegi eu hunain a gweithio’u ffordd trwy eu hemosiynau.

“Mae barddoniaeth yn caniatáu i fi fynegi fy

nheimladau a chael synnwyr digrifwch am fy sefyllfa,” meddai Michelle Telford, a oedd wedi ymuno gyda’r bardd Patrick Jones yn un o’r gweithdai.

Fe ysgrifennodd gerdd yn dyheu am “fywyd hawdd”, gan ymladd yn ôl yn erbyn y cam-drin yr oedd wedi ei ddioddef ar law ei chyn bartner.

“Fe ges i chwalfa feddyliol oherwydd dy cam-drin yr oeddwn i a fy mhedwar

Rhodd rhyddid – mewn geiriau

“I’m a good person, not so deep down,

No matter what the ex says

With his miserable frown

Calmer will reward us

This I believe

With gifts and joy and happiness

That come to us with ease.”

“I suffered a mental breakdown due to the abuse that both myself and my four children suffered,” says 39 year-old Michelle. “With the support of Hafan Cymru and other agencies, I’ve managed to pull myself back up and we’re looking to make a fresh start.”

Hafan Cymru a chi

Working with young people to dispel myths and help face the issues.

One of Hafan Cymru’s flagship projects was nominated for two prestigious awards for its work in making young people aware of how they can guard against domestic abuse.

The pioneering Spectrum Project received this recognition for High Sheriff Awards in both Gwynedd and Clwyd.

Through most of Wales, Hafan Cymru is working in secondary schools, colleges and with youth organisations to make young people between 11 and 18 years old aware of domestic abuse – its causes, its effects and ways to stop it.

The project is part funded by the Welsh Government but more financial support is needed urgently to carry out this vital work.

So far, Spectrum has reached about 90,000 young people and about 8,500 adults.

Vital youth project leads the way

Gweithio gyda phobl ifanc i chwalu’r chwedlau a’u helpu i wynebu’r cwestiynau mawr.

Mae un o brif brosiectau Hafan Cymru wedi cael dwy wobr bwysig am ei waith yn codi ymwybyddiaeth pobl ifanc o sut y gallan nhw warchod rhag cam-drin domestig.

Llwyddodd y prosiect arloesol, Sbectrwm, i dderbyn

cydnabyddiaeth yng Ngwobrau’r Uchel Siryf yng Ngwynedd a Chlwyd.

Yn y rhan fwyaf o Gymru, mae Hafan Cymru’n gweithio mewn ysgolion uwchradd, colegau a gyda mudiadau ieuenctid i godi ymwybyddiaeth pobl ifanc rhwng 11 ac 18 oed o gam-drin domestig – yr achos, yr effaith a ffyrdd o’i rwystro.

Mae’r prosiect yn cael arian gan Lywodraeth Cymru ond mae angen rhagor o gefnogaeth ar frys i wneud y gwaith allweddol yma.

Ers y dechrau, mae Sbectrwm wedi cyrraedd tua 90,000 o bobl ifanc a thua 8,500 o oedolion.

Gyda’ch cefnogaeth chi, mae Hafan Cymru’n bwriadu parhau i ysbrydoli gyda gwaith o’r fath ac r’yn ni’n gobeithio cyhoeddi cyfrol o farddoniaeth – i godi arian a dangos sut y gall geiriau wneud byd o wahaniaeth.

With your support, Hafan Cymru intends to continue this inspirational work and hopes to publish a collection of poetry – to help raise money and show how words can make a world of difference.

i symud ymlaen. Ond mae Hafan Cymru’n gobeithio gwneud mwy fyth.

“Yn y pen draw, fe hoffen ni allu cynnig y gwasanaeth hwn i bawb o’n defnyddwyr gwasanaethau, achos mae cael swydd yn allweddol wrth helpu pobl i gael annibyniaeth yn y tymor hir,” meddai Jayne Regan, Swyddog Prosiect Symud Ymlaen.

Mae’r rhaglen yn cynnig amrywiaeth eang o gefnogaeth – o sgiliau sylfaenol i ddatblygiad personol, o sicrhau profiad gwaith neu leoliadau gwirfoddol i gael cefnogaeth i symud i fyd addysg a hyfforddiant neu gael a chadw swyddi.

Mae gan Hafan dîm o Cydlynwyr Cyswllt Cyflogaeth yn cynnig pecyn cyflawn o gefnogaeth sy’n gallu cael ei deilwrio i gwrdd ag anghenion yr unigolyn.

Gall asiantaethau gwirfoddol, cyrff cyhoeddus a chwmnïau preifat i gyd helpu hefyd, trwy gynnig lleoliadau a swyddi i bobl fel Helen sy’n awyddus i gael gwaith.
