Focus Futures, delivered in Swansea, Cardiff, Caerphilly and Powys aims to support our local communities by providing a mixture of support, guidance and opportunity around self-employment and enterprise.

Delivered via a mixture of community based and online learning to ensure access for everyone, no idea or request is too big or too small for our Team and we are here to help whatever stage of the journey you may be on.

This scheme is fully funded through the Shared Prosperity Fund via the UK Government's Levelling Up Agenda.

Nod Dyfodol Ffocws, a gyflwynir yn Abertawe, Caerdydd, Caerffili a Phowys yw cefnogi ein cymunedau lleol trwy ddarparu cymysgedd o gefnogaeth, arweiniad a chyfleoedd mewn perthynas â hunangyflogaeth a menter.

Wedi'i gyflwyno trwy gymysgedd o ddysgu yn y gymuned ac ar-lein i sicrhau mynediad i bawb, nid oes unrhyw syniad na chais yn rhy fawr neu'n rhy fach i'n Tîm ac rydym yma i helpu pa bynnag gam o'r daith yr ydych arno.

Mae'r cynllun hwn yn cael ei ariannu'n llawn drwy'r Gronfa Ffyniant Gyffredin drwy Agenda Cronfa Ffyniant Bro Llywodraeth y DU.
