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...

Cor Cei blows us away // Côr Cei yn ein hysbrydoli
Last Tuesday evening (25th April), this lovely Newquay-based choir sang their hearts out for Croeso Teifi. Their rousing programme of folk, traditional, pop songs and hymns was only marred by the small turnout at Pontgarreg's attractive village hall. Still, the choir (which includes a couple of guitar players as well as their regular keyboard accompanist and several great soloists) say they perform for the love of it, no matter who's listening, and that certainly showed.
Their leader, Matthew Baynham (who himself has a lovely singing voice), had devised a fascinating sequence of tunes on the theme of 'All the seasons round', with the first half dedicated to 'the changing year' and the second, more poignantly - considering Croeso Teifi's
aims - concentrating on 'The drift from the land'. The music tripped from such gems as 'Tis the gift to be simple' and the Shaker tune from Copeland's 'Appalachian spring' to 'Linden Lea', 'Dyma gariad fel y moroedd' and a French folk tune called 'Noel Nouvelet'. Here was cultural homogeneity in diversity, or simply the power of music from across the world to unite people from across the world (well, eight members of the public anyhow!) no matter where they come from. The second half of the programme brought us melodies with challenging messages about the need for social and economic equality - who we are and want to be. They included deeply lyrical and romantic heart-lifters and jokey melodies such as 'The jovial collier', 'The net hauling song', 'Sosban Fach' and 'The Jute Mill Song'.
Half way through, Croeso Teifi made a short presentation about its resettlement scheme for Syrian refugee families, and donations flooded in. A huge thanks to Cor Cei and the Pontgarreg hall committee for making this happen.

Nos Fawrth
diwethaf (25ain Ebrill), bu’r côr hyfryd o Gei Newydd yn morio canu dros Croeso
Teifi. Trueni nad oedd rhagor wedi dod i neuadd bentref ddeniadol Pontgarreg i
glywed eu rhaglen fywiog o ganeuon gwerin, caneuon traddodiadol, emynau a
chaneuon pop. Ond mae’r Côr, (sy'n cynnwys un neu ddau o chwaraewyr gitâr yn
ogystal â'u cyfeilydd bysellfwrdd rheolaidd a nifer o unawdwyr gwych) yn dweud
eu bod yn perfformio oherwydd eu cariad at ganu, heb boeni am bwy sy'n gwrando,
a bu hynny'n sicr yn amlwg.
Roedd eu
harweinydd, Matthew Baynham (sydd â llais canu hyfryd ei hun), wedi dyfeisio
dilyniant diddorol o alawon ar y thema 'Yr holl dymhorau', gyda'r hanner cyntaf
yn ymwneud â’r newidiadau trwy’r flwyddyn, a'r ail hanner, yn fwy ingol - o
ystyried amcanion Croeso Teifi - yn canolbwyntio ar adael y tir. Bu'r
gerddoriaeth yn symud yn ysgafn o emau megis 'Tis the gift to be
simple' a'r alaw Shaker
o 'Wanwyn Appalachian' Copeland i 'Linden Lea', 'Dyma gariad fel y moroedd' ac
alaw werin Ffrengig o'r enw 'Noel Nouvelet'. Felly cawsom gydrywiaeth
ddiwylliannol trwy amrywiaeth, neu yn syml pŵer cerddoriaeth o bob cwr o'r byd
i uno pobl o bob cwr o'r byd (wel, yr ychydig o'r cyhoedd oedd yno, ta beth!).
Cyflwynodd ail hanner y rhaglen alawon gyda negeseuon heriol am yr angen am
gydraddoldeb cymdeithasol ac economaidd - pwy ydym ni a phwy hoffen ni fod.
Roeddent yn cynnwys darnau telynegol a rhamantus i godi’r galon ac alawon
chwareus megis 'Y glöwr llawen', 'Cân tynnu’r rhwydi', 'Sosban Fach' a 'Cân y
Felin Jiwt'.
Hanner ffordd
drwy'r noson, gwnaeth Croeso Teifi gyflwyniad byr am ei gynllun i adsefydlu
teuluoedd o ffoaduriaid o Syria, a llifodd y rhoddion i mewn. Diolch enfawr i
Gôr Cei a phwyllgor Neuadd Pontgarreg am greu noson arbennig.

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
Swyddfa Gartref
·
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

Rhoddodd Vicky sgwrs fer am Croeso Teifi, ac
roedd casgliad i helpu i ddod â theuluoedd o Syria i gartref diogel yn
Aberteifi. Daliodd y Parch. John Bennett y naws o roi a gwerthfawrogi - pobl yn
cefnogi ei gilydd a'r byd ehangach. Roedd y crempogau cartrefol, llawn wyau,
wedi'u coginio yn berffaith, a llifon nhw’n rhwydd o bowlen i radell i blât,
gan gael eu dilyn gan baneidiau mewn llestri. Roedd tîm o gogyddion yn rhoi sut
dendans fel bod dim un plât na chwpan heb ei llenwi.
It
was fuller than ever with no seat spare.
Vicky
gave a short talk about Croeso Teifi, and there was a collection to help bring
Syrian families to a safe home in Cardigan. Rev. John Bennett captured the mood
of giving and appreciation - people supporting each other and the wider world.
The homely and egg rich, perfectly cooked pancakes flowed unhesitatingly from
bowl to griddles to plate chased by china cuppas. A synchronised team of cooks
left no plate or cup unfilled.
