Young People

Why there's no good reason for not appointing a teenage trustee

Young trustee, Chloe Donovan, explains why she thinks it's regrettable that so few charities have trustees from her age group.

Chloe, aged 19, is one of two teenagers who were recently appointed to the board of a charity that campaigns for social action opportunities for young people. While most of her fellow trustees are much older than she is, she has stated that there is no good reason for a charity not to consider appointing a young trustee.

Want to hear more on why your organisation could benefit from including younger people as board members? Take a look at what else Chloe had to say in the full article from Third Sector.

Pam nad oes yna ddim rheswm da dros beidio a benodi ymddiriedolwr yn ei arddegau

Mae’r ymddiriedolwr ifanc, Chloe Donovan, yn egluro pam mae hi’n credu ei bod yn anffodus bod gan gyn lleied o elusennau ymddiriedolwyr o’i grŵp oedran hi.

Mae Chloe, 19 oed, yn un o ddau yn eu harddegau a gafodd eu penodi'n ddiweddar i fwrdd elusen sy'n ymgyrchu dros gyfleoedd gweithredu cymdeithasol i bobl ifanc. Tra mae'r rhan fwyaf o'i chydymddiriedolwyr yn llawer hŷn na hi, dywedodd nad oes yna ddim rheswm da i elusen beidio ag ystyried penodi ymddiriedolwr ifanc.

Am glywed mwy pam y gallai'ch mudiad elwa o gynnwys pobl iau fel aelodau o'r bwrdd? Cymerwch olwg ar beth arall oedd gan Chloe i'w ddweud yn yr erthygl lawn gan Third Sector.

images could feature older people engaged in different activities, interacting with younger

generation or anything else that challenges negative stereotypes. The more imaginative the better!

The competition rules

• There are two entry classes: (i) entrants aged under 16 and (ii) entrants aged 16 and over

• This is an amateur photography competition and entrants should not be professional

photographers. See Terms and Conditions on our website for more details.

Loss of the Rest means bonus grants for South Wales’ charities

The closure of a popular convalescent home serving South Wales people for more than a century will at least have a happy outcome for the local voluntary sector.

The winding-up of Porthcawl's Rest Bay hotel by its trustees has resulted in the opportunity for charities to access 'unrestricted funding' of up to £100,000 from a grants scheme managed by WCVA.

The terms of its constitution require that any funds remaining afterwards - around £500,000 should be distributed to a registered charity with similar aims and objectives - and WCVA has been asked to help do this through an awards process.

Eligible organisations have to operate in the following areas: Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Neath Port Talbot, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Carmarthenshire, Merthyr Tydfil, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Swansea, Torfaen and the Vale of Glamorgan.

The assessment process will be managed by WCVA, but the final decisions will be made by the Rest's Board of Trustees. Applications can be made from early October, and the closing date for is 30 January 2015.

Colli The Rest yn golygu grantiau untro i elusennau’r de

Bydd diwedd cartref gwella poblogaidd, sydd wedi bod yn gwasanaethu pobl y De ers dros ganrif, o leiaf yn arwain at ganlyniad hapus i’r sector gwirfoddol lleol.

Wrth i'r ymddiriedolwyr ddirwyn gwesty Rest Bay ym Mhorthcawl i ben mae cyfle wedi codi i elusennau sicrhau 'cyllid digyfyngiad' gwerth hyd at £100,000 o gynllun grantiau sy'n cael ei reoli gan WCVA.

Rhaid i fudiadau cymwys fod ar waith yn yr ardaloedd canlynol: Blaenau Gwent, Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, Castell-nedd Port Talbot, Caerffili, Caerdydd, sir Gaerfyrddin, Merthyr Tudful, Casnewydd, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Abertawe, Torfaen a Bro Morgannwg.

Bydd y broses asesu yn cael ei rheoli gan WCVA, ond Bwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr The Rest fydd yn gwneud y penderfyniadau terfynol. Bydd ceisiadau yn cael eu gwahodd o ddechrau mis Hydref, a'r dyddiad cau yw 30 Ionawr 2015.

Ail Alwad 2014 ar gyfer ceisiadau am gyllid Addysg a Hyfforddiant Galwedigaethol Symudedd

Mae dyddiad cau ychwanegol ar gyfer prosiectau Cam Allweddol 1 (Symudedd)

Mae dyddiad cau ychwanegol ar gyfer prosiectau Cam Allweddol 1 (Symudedd) ym maes addysg a hyfforddiant galwedigaethol wedi'i gyhoeddi i'r Deyrnas Unedig. Bydd angen i brosiectau ddangos y gallu i ddechrau eu gweithgareddau o 1 Ionawr 2015.

Y dyddiad cau i gyflwyno ceisiadau i Asiantaeth Genedlaethol y Deyrnas Unedig yw 10 Tachwedd 2014 am 11 o'r gloch y bore (amser y Deyrnas Unedig). Mae'r Alwad yn agored i unrhyw fudiad addysg a hyfforddiant galwedigaethol yn y Deyrnas Unedig, ond rydym yn disgwyl y bydd yn gweddu i'r rheini sydd wedi gwneud cais am gyllid Erasmus+ o'r blaen oherwydd y dyddiad cau.

I gael manylion pellach, gan gynnwys y cymorth sydd ar gael i ymgeiswyr, cliciwch yma.

Efallai y byddai'n well gan fudiadau sydd heb lawer o brofiad, neu ddim profiad o gwbl, o gyllid

Erasmus+ wneud cais o dan Alwad 2015.
