Trustees Week events - strengthening governance in third sector organisations / Digwyddiadau Wythnos Ymddiriedolwyr - gryfhau llywodraethu ym mudiadau trydydd sector

As part of Trustees Week 2017, Third Sector Support Wales will be holding a series of events on the theme of governance.

Good governance is crucial to the running of any third sector organisation, but in a fast-changing environment which places increasing pressures on organisations, trustees need accessible guidance to support them in setting and maintaining high standards of governance.

The events will look at the latest regional and national developments in relation to governance and feature talks on the new Charity Governance Code and PQASSO, the quality mark for the third sector.

The events will take place in three different locations across Wales during November and December:

• 14 November 2017 (9.30am-12.30pm), Baglan Community Church, Port Talbot
• 16 November 2017 (9.30am-12.30pm), Colwyn Bay Cricket Club, Colwyn Bay, Conwy 
• 8 December 2017 (9.30am-12.30pm), Crundale Community Hall, Crundale, Pembrokeshire

Fel rhan o Wythnos Ymddiriedolwyr 2017 bydd Cefnogi Trydydd Sector Cymru yn cynnal cyfres o ddigwyddiadau ar thema llywodraethu.

Mae llywodraethu da yn hanfodol wrth redeg unrhyw fudiad trydydd sector, ond wrth i’r amgylchedd allanol newid yn gyflym gan roi pwysau cynyddol ar fudiadau, mae ar ymddiriedolwyr angen arweiniad hwylus i’w cefnogi i osod a chynnal safonau uchel wrth lywodraethu.

Bydd y digwyddiadau yn edrych ar y datblygiadau rhanbarthol a chenedalethol diweddaraf sy’n ymwenud â llywodraethu ac yn cynnwys siaradwyr ar y Cod Llywodraethu newydd i Elusennau yn ogystal â PQASSO, nod ansawdd ar gyfer y trydydd sector.

Bydd y digwyddiadau yn cael eu cynnal mewn tri lleoliad gwahanol ar draws Cymru yn ystod Tachwedd a Rhagfyr:

• 14 Tachwedd 2017 (9.30am- 12.30pm), Eglwys Gymunedol Baglan, Port Talbot
