"We're here to support people aged 50+ but also their families and their carers. And generally to build resilience and independence for older people. We want to help Dyfed love later life. We offer services and support, to make friends, combat loneliness and isolation. To help them to make sure they're getting all the entitlements and grants that they're eligible for."

"10 years ago, my wife, Linda, went in with a headache. Two weeks later, she passed away. It was that quick. So it took some getting used to. I think if I'd have been at home just caring for my husband, I think I may have had a nervous breakdown. I nearly didn't go. But I thought, no, I need to go. And that's when I first met Rhiannon and Jeremy. And I started going...and I've been going ever since."

"When you've got a digital champion like Michelle, you've got that security and safety net. You know, you can move on and do things that you otherwise wouldn't."

"I had a message from one of our clients one day, an email to say "I'm hand gliding off the Pyrenees. I thought good grief, I only saw him two days ago. He was on VR, I realised he'd bought his own set because he'd been so impressed with what we'd had."

"The group has been a lifeline. They just make me laugh when I'm here. You know, you just feel refreshed. Age Cymru Dyfed is a gift to so many people. Yeah it's a gift... it's a miracle for some. When I went then with Age Cymru Dyfed I thought, "Oh, I like this." And that's what I needed."

Yr hyn a wnaethon ni helpu Dyfed i garu bywyd yn hwyrach yn 2025

Wrth i ni edrych yn ôl ar 2025, mae Age Cymru Dyfed yn myfyrio ar flwyddyn a ddiffiniwyd gan ofal, cysylltiad, a gweithredu cymunedol. Ar draws gorllewin Cymru, mae llawer o bobl dros hanner cant yn wynebu heriau a all wneud bywyd yn hwyrach yn anoddach nag y dylai fod. Mae hyn yn cynnwys unigrwydd, profedigaeth, pwysau ariannol, trafnidiaeth gyfyngedig, ac iechyd sy'n dirywio. Drwy gydol 2025, canolbwyntiodd ein gwaith ar oresgyn yr heriau hynny gyda chefnogaeth ymarferol a chysylltiad dynol gwirioneddol. Fe wnaeth ein gwaith wnaeth helpu unigolion nid yn unig i ymdopi, ond i deimlo eu bod yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi, eu cefnogi a'u bod yn rhan o'u cymuned.

Cyrhaeddodd ein gwasanaethau, wedi'u pweru gan ein tîm anhygoel o staff, gwirfoddolwyr, partneriaid ac ymddiriedolwyr, unigolion ar adegau o ansicrwydd a newid. Fe wnaethant gynnig sicrwydd, cyngor a chwmni pan oedd fwyaf o bwys iddyn nhw. Gwnaed y gwaith hwn yn bosibl oherwydd ymroddiad staff, haelioni cefnogwyr ac ymrwymiad rhyfeddol gwirfoddolwyr a roddodd o’u hamser, eu sgiliau a'u tosturi i helpu eraill i fyw bywyd hwyrach yn well. Chwaraeodd partneriaethau cryf â Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda, Cynghorau Sir a Llywodraeth Cymru rôl hanfodol hefyd, a’n helpu i roi cymorth cydgysylltiedig a chyrraedd pobl yn brydlon gyda'r cymorth cywir.
