Share The Love with Newport Live

Back in January this year, Newport Live launched their Share the Love project. Running between St Dwynwen’s Day (25th January) and St Valentine’s Day (14th February), the Arts Development Team based at The Riverfront Theatre & Arts Centre worked along with pupils in Newport Live’s Alternative Education scheme to put together well being packs for isolated individuals in our community. The packs, focused on keeping people creative and active, include:

Resources from local artists and school children.

Craft activities.

A bulb to pot and grow as the seasons change.

Sweet treats.

Links to fitness and well being resources.

Danielle Rowlands, of The Riverfront’s Arts Development team, said: “Teams across Newport Live are working on Share The Love, a project hoping to bring some cheer in a dark and dreary period. The project highlights opportunities to engage in lots of lovely activity, places to get support and remind people of the care and love being shared across our community. It is primarily aimed at isolated older adults but with the wider hope that we connect with as many people as possible and encourage them to share the love.”

Yn ôl ym mis Ionawr eleni, lansiodd Newport Live eu prosiect Rhannu’r Cariad. Gan redeg rhwng Dydd San Dwynwen (25 Ionawr) a Dydd San Ffolant (14eg Chwefror), gweithiodd Tîm Datblygu’r Celfyddydau yng Nghanolfan Theatr a Chelfyddydau Riverfront ynghyd â disgyblion yng nghynllun Addysg Amgen Newport Live i lunio pecynnau lles ar gyfer unigolion ynysig yn ein cymuned. Mae’r pecynnau, sy’n canolbwyntio ar gadw pobl yn greadigol ac yn egnïol, yn cynnwys:

Adnoddau gan artistiaid lleol a phlant ysgol.

Gweithgareddau crefft.

Bwlb i’w botio a thyfu wrth i’r tymhorau newid.

Danteithion melys.

Dolenni i adnoddau ffitrwydd a lles.

Dywedodd Danielle Rowlands, o dîm Datblygu Celfyddydau The Riverfront: “Mae timau ar draws Casnewydd Live yn gweithio ar Share The Love, prosiect sy’n gobeithio dod â rhywfaint o hwyl mewn cyfnod tywyll a breuddwydiol. Mae’r prosiect yn tynnu sylw at gyfleoedd i gymryd rhan mewn llawer o weithgaredd hyfryd, lleoedd i gael cefnogaeth ac atgoffa pobl o’r gofal a’r cariad sy’n cael eu rhannu ar draws ein cymuned. Fe’i hanelir yn bennaf at oedolion hŷn ynysig ond gyda’r gobaith ehangach ein bod yn cysylltu â chymaint o bobl â phosibl a’u hannog i rannu’r cariad. “

Whilst clearly one small part of a wonderful Newport whole, I am pleased to be one of the local artists contributing to this project with my postcard art – We Can Be Together Apart / Gallwn Fod Gyda’n Gillydd Ar Wahân. I would particularly like to say thank you to Newport Live for sponsoring the postcards and postage.

Er fy mod yn amlwg yn un rhan fach o gyfanwaith rhyfeddol Casnewydd, rwy’n falch o fod yn un o’r artistiaid lleol sy’n cyfrannu at y prosiect hwn gyda’m celf cerdyn post – We Can Be Together Apart / Gallwn Fod Gyda’n Gillydd Ar Wahân. Hoffwn ddweud yn arbennig diolch i Newport Live am noddi’r cardiau post a’r postio.
