Mae rhifyn mis Medi o E-fwletin CVSC
yma!
Croeso cynnes i chi i gyd i’n
e-fwletin i ddathlu 25 mlynedd ym mis Medi 2022!
Ond i ble mae'r 25 mlynedd wedi mynd? Mae’n hen ystrydeb, ond yn un real iawn, wrth i ni edrych yn ôl ar ein llwyddiannau sylweddol dros y blynyddoedd – o Gyngor Gwirfoddol Sirol newydd iawn a lansiwyd ar 1af Medi 1997 ar ôl ad-drefnu llywodraeth leol yn 1996.
Roedd Cyngor Gwasanaethau
Gwirfoddol Conwy, fel roedd yn cael ei alw bryd hynny, (ond CVSC o’r dechrau un), yn newydd-ddyfodiad, gan gefnogi grwpiau cymunedol i addasu a symud ymlaen yn y sir newydd sbon yma, a phawb yn chwilio am eu hunaniaeth… ond fe wnaethom ni lwyddo, ochr yn ochr â’n sefydliadau sy’n aelodau ac rydym yn gobeithio y byddwch yn mwynhau pori drwy’r atgofion gyda ni…

The September anniversary edition of
CVSC's E-bulletin is here!
A warm welcome to you all to this our 25 year
celebratory September 2022 e-bulletin!
But just where have these 25 years gone? It is an old cliché, but a very real one, as we look back over our considerable achievements over the years – from a very new County Voluntary Council launched on 1st September 1997 after the local government re-organisation in 1996.
Conwy Voluntary Services Council as it was known then, (but
CVSC from the outset), was the new kid on the block, supporting community groups to realign and forge ahead in this brand new county everyone looking to find their identity…but we did it, along with our member organsiations and we do hope you will enjoy browsing through memory lane with us…
