Ar beth ydym ni'n gweithio?

North Somerset LEADS,
Spring 2026

In the North Somerset LEADS project, we examined the current relationship between North Somerset Council and the voluntary sector, with a view to developing an equitable and sustainable partnership that delivers support to communities amid increased demand and significant financial pressures. The North Somerset LEADS framework, designed specifically for this report, reflects both the huge potential for a productive collaborative relationship between the Council and the voluntary sector and the need for action on several fronts to achieve this. The framework proposes a positive trajectory for change through which all parties can exercise leadership and create innovation in volatile times.

Fframwaith Ymgysylltu ag Ymchwil ar gyfer Gwlad yr Haf

Research into health and social care has the potential to benefit everyone. However, for a number of reasons, some groups do not take part in research projects. In Somerset, a Research Engagement Network has been formed to understand why some people and communities are underserved by research that could make their lives better. We designed a framework to help all the partners and stakeholders – including individual researchers, the voluntary sector, communities, and those working across the health and care system – to embed, support, promote, enhance, and contribute to research engagement in Somerset.

Gwerthuso Shared Prosperity Fund

Spark Somerset yw'r prif sefydliad seilwaith yn y sir sy'n darparu cymorth i'r sector VCFSE. Yn 2024, dyfarnwyd cyllid gan y Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) for a range of activities designed to enhance the sector and amplify its voice in the system. We evaluated these activities, which include amongst other things the creation of an Insights Hub, a skills sharing platform, and leadership training. We also thought through how these activities can be sustained after SPF funding has ended, and how future projects can be evaluated.

Tanio Adroddiad Cyflwr y Sector Gwlad yr Haf, Hydref 2024

Gwnaethom weithio gyda Spark i gynhyrchu cyfres o adroddiadau cysylltiedig yn seiliedig ar ddata o arolwg ar-lein, cyfweliadau un-i-un, trafodaethau grŵp ac adolygiad desg cynhwysfawr. Mae prif adroddiad Cyflwr y Sector yn tynnu sylw at yr angen am sefydlogrwydd ariannol, cynllunio strategol a chysylltiadau cryf gyda'r sector cyhoeddus i gefnogi VCFSE gwydn ffyniannus. Ochr yn ochr â'r adroddiad llawn, ysgrifennon ni hefyd adolygiad o'r darlun cenedlaethol, yn ogystal â darn barn sy'n mynd i'r afael â'r cwestiwn allweddol: cydweithio rhwng yr VCFSE a'r sector cyhoeddus yng Ngwlad yr Haf: her neu gyfle? Gyda'n gilydd, mae ein hadroddiadau yn rhoi cipolwg pwysig ar y materion sy'n wynebu'r sector gwirfoddol. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys yr argyfwng costau byw, y galw, recriwtio gwirfoddolwyr, gweithio mewn partneriaeth a chyllid. Gwnaethom hefyd ddathlu cyflawniadau niferus sefydliadau VCFSE, mawr a bach, yng Ngwlad yr Haf.
