Mae'r ymddiriedolwyr yn wirfoddolwyr, wedi'u
penodi am gyfnodau o naill ai dwy neu dair blynedd.
Caiff cais i fod yn ymddiriedolwr ei ystyried a'i
benderfynu drwy bleidlais gan ymddiriedolwyr
presennol.
Trist yw nodi bod Dr Brian Jones wedi marw ar 29
Mehefin 2025. Chwaraeodd ran sylweddol yng
ngwaith yr elusen a byddwn colli ei gyfraniad
gwerthfawr yn arw.
Nid oes gan yr elusen unrhyw weithwyr na
gwirfoddolwyr eraill. Ni dderbyniodd unrhyw
Ymddiriedolwyr unrhyw dâl yn ystod y flwyddyn, ac
ni ad-dalwyd unrhyw dreuliau

Operating expenses were kept very low at £593 and
were partly financed by interest received of £260. In
total the charity had income of £11,510 and
expenditure of £18,403.
The charity ended the financial year with reserves of
£13,142, down from £20,036 at the end of the
previous year and in line with our policy of reducing
reserves.
We continue to publicise the work of the charity
through local papers and social media and we look
forward to providing further grants in the coming
financial year.| ||| |---|---| |**Polisi Cronfeydd wrth Gefn**
Mae gan yr elusen bolisi o gynnal o leiaf £750 yn
gronfeydd wrth gefn er mwyn gwastatau
amrywiadau mewn incwm a gwariant yn ystod y
flwyddyn ariannol. Bydd arian wrth gefn ychwanegol
yn cael ei gadw pan fyddwn wedi cytuno i ariannu
prosiectau dros fwy na blwyddyn.
Byddwn yn parhau i adolygu ein polisi dyfarnu
grantiau er mwyn sicrhau nad yw cronfeydd wrth
gefn yn cronni dros amser.|**Reserves Policy**
The charity has a policy of maintaining at least £750
by way of reserves in order to even out fluctuations
in income and expenditure during the financial year.
Additional reserves will be held where we have
agreed to fund projects over more than one year.
We will continue to keep our grant making policy
under review to ensure that reserves do not build up
over time.| |**Datganiad Budd Cyhoeddus**
