In
mid December, Croeso Teifi held a celebratory party, for the family from Syria,
who arrived in late November. The Reverend John Bennett played games with all
the children and MP, Ben Lake, blew up the balloons. The family's children sang a
song together, doing verses in turn. The family from Narberth came and their 14 year old sang a
song he wrote to thank his dad for bringing them here, it was powerful and
heartfelt. Cardigan school teachers and county councillors were present, also representatives from the police. There was
a very warm atmosphere.

Croeso Teifi news
Croeso Teifi is now a CIO, a Charitable Incorporated
Organisation with its own Trustees.
At
times the journey seemed endless, just to get the necessary permissions to meet
our modest goal to host a few Syrian families in Cardigan.
In
the last days we passed two important milestones. We became a CIO - a
charitable incorporated organisation and we got £10,200 in our bank account.
Two months ago we had £7,200. Tomorrow we will have nearly £11,000.
This
extraordinary growth in money is due to the enthusiasm and generosity of many
people, all local or known to us. There have been no grants or crowd funders
yet.
So
now we have past these milestones, at last the local authority in Ceredigion
can arrange a meeting with us, hopefully to give us their approval, which can
be followed by approval from the Home Office. The timing? We depend on others
whose timing can be unpredictable, but we hope it will be 2-3 months til we get
these approvals and can start seeking the right family or families for
Cardigan.
To
get this far has involved a lot of work - we now have policies of all kinds, we
go to lots of training, even as far as London. We had a trauma awareness
training today. We found two sympathetic landlords and we have teams with lead
coordinators for every aspect of the work, well almost. There are still a few
vacancies if you reading this have some time or skill to give: We are all
volunteers and there is always danger of exhaustion, a few people tackling each
task will make a great difference.
Email if you can help: info@croesoteifi.org
And
we need to reach another financial milestone to host two families.
We
need £18,000 in total. More if it's an extended second family.
On
Saturday 24th June, we plan
an information coffee morning in a church hall with a little film, this is not
to raise funds but to discuss the project, seek ideas for improvements and
share our knowledge so far.
If
you want to help, please do, but be warned, your enthusiasm can lure you into a
lot of work. You may grow skills and knowledge in unexpected areas. You could
end up running an auction or meeting with the home office and explaining how
they need to do their job, or folding raffle tickets, or learning about mental
health, excel or Arabic or listening to the Koran sung in the sunshine.
I
am still tired from my late night shift on Saturday where I had to listen to
some of the most stunning music in Wales, eat soup, drink wine and do things
you wouldn't dare do at a party. [Noson Bara Menyn]
We are part of a wider movement especially in Wales where teams like ours are developing similar schemes in Cardiff, Aberystwyth, Fishguard, Narberth, Haverfordwest. The first community sponsored family in Wales is due in June. They are Kurds, a minority in their country with some great traditions including equality between men and women.
If
you're feeling brave or bored or undervalued or generous, come and help us,
jump in and swim, the water's bracing but lovely. Do share...

Newyddion CROESO TEIFI
Erbyn hyn mae Croeso Teifi yn Sefydliad Corfforedig Elusennol gyda'i Ymddiriedolwyr ei hun!
Ar ddydd Sadwrn Mehefin 24, rydym yn bwriadu cynnal bore coffi i roi gwybodaeth mewn neuadd
eglwys gyda ffilm fach. Nid digwyddiad er mwyn codi fydd hwn, ond i drafod y
prosiect, ceisio syniadau ar gyfer gwelliannau a rhannu ein gwybodaeth hyd yn
hyn.
Ar adegau, mae’r
daith yn teimlo’n ddiddiwedd, dim ond i gael y caniatâd angenrheidiol i
gyflawni ein nod cymedrol o gynnal ychydig o deuluoedd o Syria yn Aberteifi.
Yn y dyddiau
diwethaf rydym wedi pasio dwy garreg filltir bwysig. Daethon ni’n SEC -
Sefydliad Elusennol Corfforedig a chyrraedd £10,200 yn ein cyfrif banc. Dau fis
yn ôl roedd gennym £7,200. Yfory bydd gennym bron i £11,000.
Mae'r twf
ariannol rhyfeddol hwn o ganlyniad i frwdfrydedd a haelioni llawer o bobl, pobl
leol i gyd neu yn hysbys i ni. Ni fu unrhyw grantiau na chyllidwyr dorf eto.
Felly, gan ein
bod wedi cyrraedd y cerrig milltir hyn, o'r diwedd gall yr awdurdod lleol yng
Ngheredigion drefnu cyfarfod gyda ni, a gobeithio cawn eu cymeradwyaeth, ac
wedyn gall cymeradwyaeth gan y Swyddfa Gartref ddilyn. A’r amseru? Rydym yn
dibynnu ar bobl eraill y gall eu hamseru fod yn anrhagweladwy, ond rydym yn
gobeithio y cawn y cymeradwyaethau hyn o fewn 2-3 mis ac wedyn gallwn ddechrau
chwilio am y teulu neu deuluoedd iawn ar gyfer Aberteifi.
Mae cyrraedd y
pwynt hwn wedi golygu llawer o waith - erbyn hyn mae gennym bolisïau o bob
math, rydym yn mynd i lawer o hyfforddiant, weithiau mor bell â Llundain.
Cawsom hyfforddiant ymwybyddiaeth trawma heddiw. Gwelsom ddau landlord llawn
cydymdeimlad ac mae gennym dimau gyda chydlynwyr arweiniol ar gyfer pob agwedd
ar y gwaith, mwy neu lai. Mae ychydig o swyddi gwag o hyd os ydych chi sy’n darllen
hwn â rhywfaint o amser neu sgiliau i’w rhoi. Rydym i gyd yn wirfoddolwyr ac
mae perygl o flino bob amser: bydd ychydig o bobl i fynd i'r afael â phob tasg
yn gwneud gwahaniaeth mawr.
E-bostiwch os
gallwch chi helpu: info@croesoteifi.org
Ac mae angen
cyrraedd carreg filltir ariannol arall i gynnal dau deulu.
Mae angen
£18,000 i gyd. Mwy os bydd yr ail deulu’n un estynedig.
Os ydych chi
eisiau helpu, wnewch ar bob cyfrif, ond sylwch y gall eich brwdfrydedd eich
denu i mewn i wneud llawer o waith. Efallai y byddwch yn magu sgiliau a
gwybodaeth mewn meysydd annisgwyl. Gallech redeg ocsiwn neu gael cyfarfod
gyda'r Swyddfa Gartref i ddweud wrthynt sut i wneud eu gwaith, neu blygu
tocynnau raffl, neu ddysgu am iechyd meddwl, Excel neu Arabeg, neu wrando ar y
Koran yn cael ei ganu yn yr heulwen.
Rwy wedi blino o
hyd ar ôl fy sifft nos yn hwyr nos Sadwrn lle roedd rhaid i mi wrando ar
ychydig o’r gerddoriaeth fwyaf trawiadol yng Nghymru, bwyta cawl, yfed gwin a
gwneud pethau na fyddech yn meiddio eu gwneud mewn parti. [Noson Bara Menyn]
Rydym yn rhan o
fudiad ehangach, ac yn enwedig yng Nghymru mae timau tebyg i ni yn datblygu
cynlluniau tebyg yng Nghaerdydd, Aberystwyth, Abergwaun, Arberth, Hwlffordd.
Disgwylir y teulu cyntaf a noddir yn gymunedol yng Nghymru ym mis Mehefin.
Maent yn Cwrdiaid, sy’n lleiafrif yn eu gwlad gyda rhai traddodiadau gwych gan
gynnwys cydraddoldeb rhwng dynion a menywod.
Os ydych yn
teimlo'n ddewr neu wedi diflasu neu heb eich gwerthfawrogi neu yn hael, dewch
i'n helpu ni, neidiwch i mewn a nofio; mae’r dŵr yn ffres ond yn hyfryd.
Rhannwch ...
Vicky

Croeso Cymunedol i Deuluoedd o Syria
Mae cynllun y llywodraeth o'r enw 'Nawdd Cymunedol'
yn caniatáu i ni ddod â dau neu dri theulu awdurdodedig sy’n ffoi rhag rhyfel
Syria i gartref diogel yn Aberteifi. Byddwn yn cwrdd â nhw yn y maes awyr ac
yn darparu cartref a chynllun integreiddio. Gallant weithio o'r diwrnod cyntaf,
a chael yr un budd-daliadau a chefnogaeth â theulu Prydeinig, am bum mlynedd.
Gallant wedyn wneud cais i aros yma os dymunant, neu ddychwelyd i Syria os bydd
yn briodol. Mae gennym gyfieithwyr, ysgolion, athrawon, cartrefi a ffrindiau yn
barod ar eu cyfer.
Mae cynllun y llywodraeth yn mynnu bod digon o arian yn ein helusen er mwyn dangos ein bod yn gallu gwneud y gwaith yn dda. Mae angen i ni godi £9,000 i achub teulu. Os hoffech chi roi neu helpu mewn unrhyw ffordd, cysylltwch â ni
Mae Nawdd Cymunedol:
·
ar wahân i gynlluniau'r
llywodraeth
·
yn cael ei ariannu a’i
redeg gan y gymuned
·
yn cael ei fonitro gan y

·
yn arloesol: mae hyn yn
ffordd newydd i fynd i'r afael â heriau mewnfudo a ffoaduriaid yn y DU
·
wedi’i fodelu ar gynllun
noddi cymunedol Canada sydd yn boblogaidd a llwyddiannus ac sy’n rhedeg ers 40
mlynedd.
·
yn agored i’r gymuned
gyfan. Cysylltwch os hoffech helpu mewn unrhyw ffordd

A Community Welcome for Syrian Families
A government scheme named 'Community Sponsorship' allows us
to bring two or three approved families fleeing from war-torn Syria to a safe
home in Cardigan. We will meet them at the airport and provide a home and an
integration plan. They can work from day one, and have the same benefits and
support as a British family, for five years. They can then apply to stay here
if they wish, or return to Syria if appropriate. We have interpreters, schools,
teachers, homes and friends ready for them.
The government scheme demands that we have enough money in
our charity to show that we can do the job well. We need to raise £9,000 to
save a family. If you would like to donate or to help in any way, do get in
touch.
Community Sponsorship is:
·
separate from government schemes
·
paid for and run by the community
·
monitored by the Home Office
·
innovative: this is a new way to address the
immigration and refugee challenges in the UK
·
modelled on Canada's successful popular scheme
which has run for 40 years
·
open to the whole community. Get in touch if you
would like to help in any way
·
working with the Local Authority and public
services
·
spreading through Wales
