✨ AFRO‑Welsh Identity Celebration / Dathliad Hunaniaeth AFRO‑Gymreig 🇳🇬🤝🏴

🌍❤️ Yesterday our Community Officer, Shahena Chowdhury helped lead the celebrations of Afro‑Welsh identity at the Conton Community Hub in Cardiff, with communities from all backgrounds — bringing together the cultures of Nigeria and Wales through history, fashion and shared stories.

The event brought people together in a warm, joyful atmosphere — strengthening community ties and highlighting the importance of recognising and honouring Afro‑Welsh identity.

A huge thank you to the organisers, contributors and everyone who joined us for such a meaningful celebration. 🎉💚

We're proud to be a part of a movement to build spaces where culture, identity and community can shine.

🌍❤️ Ddoe fe wnaeth ein Swyddog Cymunedol, Shahena Chowdury, helpu i arwain dathliadau hunaniaeth AFRO‑Gymreig yng Nghanolfan Gymunedol Treganna, gyda chymunedau o bob cefndir — gan ddod â diwylliannau Nigeria a Chymru at ei gilydd drwy hanes, ffasiwn a straeon a rennir.

Daeth yr ŵyl â phobl at ei gilydd mewn awyrgylch cynnes a llawen — gan gryfhau cysylltiadau cymunedol ac amlygu pwysigrwydd cydnabod ac anrhydeddu hunaniaeth AFRO‑Gymreig.

🎉💚 Diolch enfawr i’r trefnwyr, y cyfranwyr ac i bawb a ymunodd â ni ar gyfer dathliad mor ystyrlon.

Dyn ni'n falch o gael bod yn rhan o symudiad sy'n parhau i greu llefydd lle gall diwylliant, hunaniaeth a chymuned ddisgleirio.

🌿☀️ Project NUR at the Wales Working Together National Community Wellbeing, Su***de & Bereavement Conference 2026 (Sgroliwch i'r Gymraeg)

This was an incredible day for Project NUR as we had the opportunity to attend this inspiring event at Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff on 9 October.

We were delighted to be part of such an important cause, bringing together around 600 people, 200 organisations and numerous stallholders, all united by a shared commitment to supporting communities and improving people's wellbeing.

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with organisations, meet members of the community and raise awareness of Project NUR's work exploring the potential of solar panels and battery storage for local homes.

Events like these remind us of the importance of working together, building meaningful connections and supporting initiatives that make a positive difference in people's lives.

A heartfelt thank you to the organisers for bringing everyone together and giving Project NUR the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful event. 💚

Together, we can build stronger, healthier and more sustainable communities.

🌿☀️ Project NUR yng Nghynhadledd Genedlaethol Llesiant Cymunedol, Atal Hunanladdiad a Galar 2026 – Gweithio gyda'n gilydd

Roedd hwn yn ddiwrnod arbennig iawn i Project NUR wrth i ni gael y cyfle i fynychu’r digwyddiad ysbrydoledig hwn yn Stadiwm Dinas Caerdydd, Caerdydd ar y 9fed o Hydref.

Roedden ni wrth ein boddau’n rhan o achos mor bwysig, gan ddod â thua 600 o bobl, 200 o sefydliadau a nifer o stondinwyr ynghyd — i gyd wedi’u huno gan ymrwymiad i gefnogi cymunedau ac i wella lles pobl.

Roedd yn gyfle gwych i gysylltu â sefydliadau, cyfarfod â aelodau o’r gymuned ac i godi ymwybyddiaeth o waith Project NUR wrth archwilio potensial paneli solar a storio batris ar gyfer cartrefi lleol.

Mae digwyddiadau fel hyn yn ein hatgoffa o bwysigrwydd cydweithio, adeiladu cysylltiadau ystyrlon a chefnogi mentrau sy’n gwneud gwahaniaeth cadarnhaol i fywydau pobl.

Diolch o galon i’r trefnwyr am ddod â phawb ynghyd ac am roi’r cyfle i Project NUR fod yn rhan o ddigwyddiad mor ystyrlon. 💚

Gyda’n gilydd, gallwn adeiladu cymunedau cryfach, iachach a mwy cynaliadwy.

Prosect NUR | Project NUR

Project NUR is a pilot project developed by Ynni Teg aiming to set up a community enterprise that will develop a residential community network of solar panels and batteries at no upfront cost for eligible households in Cardiff and Newport using specialised software that will maximise savings – a ‘virtual power plant’ (VPP).

Mae Project NUR yn brosiect peilot wedi'r ddatblygu gan Ynni Teg sy’n anelu at sefydlu menter gymunedol fydd yn datblygu rhwydwaith preswyl o baneli solar a batris heb unrhyw gost ymlaen llaw i gartrefi cymwys yng Nghaerdydd a Chasnewydd, gan ddefnyddio meddalwedd arbenigol i wneud y mwyaf o’r arbedion – ‘gorsaf bŵer rhithwir’ (VPP).

⚡️ What is a Virtual Power Plant Again? | Agoffwch fi beth yw Gorsaf Ynni Rhithwir Eto? 🔌

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) connects energy resources like solar panels ☀️, batteries 🔋, smart thermostats 🌡️, and electric vehicles 🚗⚡ in different places using smart software 🤖.
Together they act as a single power plant—generating, storing, sharing and trading electricity 🔄⚡.

🌱 Benefits of a VPP
💷 Lower fuel bills
🏭 Less need for expensive new power stations
🔐 More stable and secure energy supply
🏡 More ‘home‑grown’ clean energy
🌍 Lower carbon emissions

🎥 Video
This video explores the transition from traditional, centralised power generation to the rise of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs).

******************************

Mae Gorsaf Ynni Rhithwir (VPP) yn cysylltu adnoddau ynni fel paneli solar ☀️, batris 🔋, thermostatau clyfar 🌡️, a cherbydau trydan 🚗⚡ mewn gwahanol lefydd gan ddefnyddio meddalwedd clyfar🤖.

Gyda’i gilydd, maen nhw’n gweithredu fel un orsaf bŵer — gan gynhyrchu, storio, rhannu a masnachu trydan 🔄⚡.

🌱 Manteision Gorsaf Ynni Rhithiol
💷 Biliau ynni is
🏭 Llai o angen am orsafoedd pŵer newydd drud
🔐 Cyflenwad ynni mwy sefydlog a diogel
🏡 Mwy o ynni glân wedi'i gynhyrchu "yn y cartref"
🌍 Llai o allyriadau carbon

Mae’r fideo hwn yn archwilio’r newid o gynhyrchu pŵer traddodiadol, canolog i dwf Gorsafoedd Pŵer Rhithiol (VPPs).
