Minister checks out gymnastics outreach work



Culture and Sport  Minister for Wales, John Griffiths AM has paid a visit to Neath Afan Gymnastics Club today to hear all about the club’s success in substantially raising its membership and its outreach work in the community.

Mae Gweinidog Diwylliant a Chwaraeon Cymru, John Griffiths AC, wedi ymweld â Chlwb Gymnasteg Nedd Afan heddiw er mwyn clywed am lwyddiant y clwb yn sicrhau cynnydd sylweddol yn nifer ei aelodau a’i waith yn y gymuned gyda phobl.   



We love hearing success stories from projects like this! It's amazing to think that Neath Afan Gymnastics Club (NAGC) had just 35 members in 2005. They have more than 800 today! They ensure that children from different abilities and backgrounds have the opportunity to participate in the club from pre-school to elite. It's located in a Community First area and placed in the top 10% most deprived areas in Wales.
And it's brilliant to hear that Welsh Gymnasticsis working with the club to give children the opportunity to engage in this sport within their own community, avoiding costly traveling expenses.
We want to help Welsh Government drive down child poverty and sport's a great way to create life chances for young people across Wales - every child has a right to play sport, no matter where they live.

Well done to everyone involved!




Rydyn ni wrth ein bodd yn clywed straeon llwyddiannus am brosiectau fel hyn! Mae’n rhyfeddol meddwl mai dim ond 35 o aelodau oedd gan Glwb Gymnasteg Nedd Afan nôl yn 2005. Mae ganddo fwy nag 800 heddiw! Mae’n sicrhau bod plant o wahanol allu a chefndir yn cael cyfle i gymryd rhan yn y clwb, o lefel cyn-ysgol i elitaidd Mae wedi’i leoli mewn ardal Cymunedau yn Gyntaf ac ymhlith y 10% o’r ardaloedd mwyaf difreintiedig yng Nghymru.   

Ac mae’n wych clywed bod Gymnasteg Cymru yn gweithio gyda’r clwb i roi cyfle i blant gymryd rhan yn y gamp hon yn eu cymuned eu hunain, heb orfod talu costau teithio drud.         
                                      
Rydyn ni eisiau helpu Llywodraeth Cymru i drechu tlodi plant ac mae chwaraeon yn ffordd wych i greu cyfleoedd i bobl ifanc ar hyd a lled Cymru – mae gan bob plentyn hawl i gymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon, waeth ble mae’n byw.  
       

Da iawn i bawb sydd wedi chwarae eu rhan!
