Organisations and community groups across Wales are being invited to apply for funding of £1,000 to
£4,000 from Grow Wild to create inspiring spaces.
Supported by the Big Lottery Fund and led by Royal Botanic
Gardens Kew, Grow Wild motivates communities, friends, neighbours and
individuals to come together to transform local spaces by sowing, growing and
enjoying UK native wild flowers.
Over the next year, Grow Wild has more than £200,000 to award
to not-for-profit groups who put forward creative ideas that revamp communal
spaces.
Grow Wild is looking for projects that use native wild
flowers and plants innovatively to bring colour and wildlife to their local
area. They should offer volunteering opportunities to young people aged 12-25
and also to over 25s. Projects should also think creatively about sharing
stories, photos and activities from their spaces.
Over 2014-15, Grow Wild has built a network of over 150
projects including; the reimagining of a train station entrance an interactive
tour of planted spaces, a sensory garden for people with disabilities; as well
as projects involving streetscapes, woodlands, housing estates and murals.
Applications for 2016 funding must be received by 1 December
2015. A panel of experts will then help decide who will receive funding.
Successful groups will be notified in February 2016 ready to start their
project in March and finish by October 2015.
ARIAN TYFU’N WYLLT I HELPU
CYMUNEDAU FLODEUO
Mae gwahoddiad i fudiadau a grwpiau cymunedol ledled Cymru
wneud cais am arian rhwng £1,000 a £4,000 gan Tyfu’n Wyllt i greu
llecynnau ysbrydoledig.
Gyda chefnogaeth gan y Gronfa
Loteri Fawr a than arweiniad Gerddi Botaneg Brenhinol Kew, mae Tyfu’n
Wyllt yn cymell cymunedau, cyfeillion, cymdogion ac unigolion i ddod at ei
gilydd i drawsnewid llecynnau lleol trwy hau, tyfu a mwynhau blodau brodorol o
wledydd Prydain.
Dros y flwyddyn nesaf, mae gan
Tyfu’n Wyllt fwy na £200,000 i’w rannu i grwpiau nid er mwyn gwneud elw sy’n
cyflwyno syniadau creadigol ar gyfer ailwampio llecynnau cymunedol.
Mae Tyfu’n Wyllt yn chwilio am brosiectau sy’n defnyddio
blodau a phlanhigion gwyllt brodorol mewn ffordd wahanol i ddod â lliw a bywyd
gwyllt i’w hardal leol. Dylent gynnig cyfleoedd gwirfoddoli i bobl ifanc rhwng
12-25 oed a hefyd i bobl dros 25. Dylai prosiectau feddwl yn greadigol hefyd am
rannu storïau, lluniau a gweithgareddau o’u llecynnau.
Dros 2014-15, mae Tyfu’n Wyllt
wedi adeiladu rhwydwaith o fwy na 150 o brosiectau, gan gynnwys; ail-ddychmygu
mynedfa i orsaf drenau trwy greu taith ryngweithiol o lecynnau wedi’u plannu,
gardd synhwyraidd i bobl ag anableddau ynghyd â phrosiectau yn cynnwys strydweddau,
coetiroedd, stadau tai a murluniau.
Rhaid derbyn ceisiadau am arian ar gyfer 2016 erbyn 1 Rhagfyr
2015. Yna bydd panel o arbenigwyr yn helpu penderfynu pwy gaiff yr arian. Caiff
grwpiau llwyddiannus wybod ym mis Chwefror 2016, mewn pryd i ddechrau eu prosiect
ym mis Mawrth a’i orffen erbyn mis Hydref 2015.
