Mae @ArePlas yn gwybod bod #gwirfoddolwyr yn werth eu pwysau mewn aur: y dwylo, y calonnau a'r brwdfrydedd y tu ôl i ddigwyddiadau cymunedol llwyddiannus. O griw'r carnifal i bencampwyr glanhau: rydyn ni'n eich gweld chi, rydyn ni'n diolch i chi, ni allem ni ei wneud hebdoch chi.

💛As @ArePlas know, volunteers are worth their weight in gold and then some. They are the hands, hearts & hustle behind every successful community event. From carnival crews to clean-up champs: we see you, we thank you, we couldn’t do it without you.💛

An amazing inspirational story; hundres of people coming together in Neath to make their community a happier and more supportive place; really proud that @BCTWales are supporting them @TNLComFundWales @WCVACymru
👋During this year's #VolunteerWeek2025, we are celebrating FAN in Neath - a powerful example of community-led change. When neighbors lead, connection grows. Every town deserves a FAN.

Meet Jayne, she’s not just growing vegetables - she’s growing connection, confidence and community. Her story is a reminder of why volunteering matters. It’s not just about giving time. It’s about planting hope and watching it take root in the people around you. #volunteersweek

The development of the Pill Unity gardens has been an amazing effort by residents, housing association and the council to bring a green growing space right to the heart of the city centre and rightfully recognised with a #GreenFlag Award by @KeepWalesTidy

Huge privilege for @BCTWales to work with the award winning internationally acclaimed #TheLand, enriching the lives of young people in Plas Madoc for over a decade @TNLComFundWales
👣There’s a place in Wrexham where children build kingdoms from pallets, swing over puddles, and learn life’s biggest lessons through play. The Land is more than a playground; it’s a revolution in resilience, creativity, and community. Watch our full film: youtu.be/eVvdPdaXXbQ

The wonderful creative chaos of Brighter Futures bringing fun and hope in Rhyl, as recently seen at @WelshConserv conference @MarkIsherwoodMS @AltafHussainSWW @TNLComFundWales
☀️😄Warning: this photo montage contains high levels of happiness. @BrighterFutures recent family funday had sunshine, silliness and smiles for days. And lots and lots of animals - what more do you need for a #FeelGoodFriday post? #CommunityImpact #HoppyFriday #FluffyFriends

🧱🌱If you give young people the chance to help build their community, it’s not just about giving them a seat at the table, but the opportunity to create positive change in the future. This film demonstrates how the youth voice in part of Pembrokeshire has real influence.💪📢

The impact of community centres today is illustrated by inspiring examples from across the UK.
Including in East Ayrshire, where a community-owned centre is working in partnership with the council to help young people overcome barriers to employment.
And in Leeds, where @HealthforAllLds runs seven community centres across the city where local people are empowered to tackle unmet health and wellbeing needs.

Brilliant initiative to bring a community growing space to the heart of the city in Newport #InvestLocal #ABCD @TNLComFundWales
🥕🍅 Green and growing spaces do more than just brighten up a neighborhood - they reconnect us with where our food comes from and create practical opportunities for communities to grow their own fruit, vegetables and herbs together, promoting skills, sustainability and wellbeing.
