_*Yn cynnwys llyfrau (includes books)_ 

_Yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon, gostyngodd incwm rhent of Cymraeg i Oedolion Gwent i £ 0 oherwydd parhaodd dosbarthiadau ar lein ar ôl pandemig Cofid-19. Derbyniwyd grant busnes oddi trwy Cyngor Sir Fynwy yn 2020-21 i helpu gyda treuliau._ 

_In this financial year, rental income from Cymraeg i Oedolion Gwent was £0 as classed continued online after the Covid-19 pandemic. A business recovery grant via Monmouthshire County Council was obtained to assist in covering costs._
