An amazing part of our journey in becoming a formal CIC, is that we have now become members of the Association of Voluntary Organisations in Wrecsam (AVOW).
AVOW is a long-standing organisation in Wrecsam that has brought so much to the area since its inception in 1988. AVOW supports third sector organisations, including voluntary and community organisations, charities, social enterprises, community interest companies and co-operatives. They help organisations help the communities they work with in so many ways including training, advice on funding, guidance on best practices, supporting the recruitment of volunteers, networking and more.
AVOW have supported Incredible Edible Wrecsam with £500 of funding to run community volunteering events, leading to Madeira Hill and Mount Street winning Green Flag Awards again. They have also helped Creuynni Wellbeing CIC already with a ‘Meet The Funders’ event that gave us so many tips and information in applying for funding to support the projects we share.
We look forward to working together with AVOW further!
If you are part of a voluntary or community organisation and are interested in becoming members yourself, I can well recommend them. With such a reasonable price for membership of £10 a year for organisations like ourselves – it is an affordable way to be connected to their great resource sharing here. You can find their website at:

Rhan anhygoel o’n taith tuag at ddod yn Gwmni Buddiannau Cymunedol (CIC) ffurfiol yw ein bod bellach wedi dod yn aelodau o Gymdeithas Sefydliadau Gwirfoddol Wrecsam (AVOW).
Mae AVOW yn sefydliad hirsefydlog yng Ngwrecsam sydd wedi cyfrannu cymaint i’r ardal ers ei sefydlu yn 1988. Mae AVOW yn cefnogi sefydliadau’r trydydd sector, gan gynnwys sefydliadau gwirfoddol a chymunedol, elusennau, mentrau cymdeithasol, cwmnïau buddiannau cymunedol a chydweithfeydd. Maent yn helpu sefydliadau i helpu’r cymunedau y maent yn gweithio gyda nhw mewn cymaint o ffyrdd, gan gynnwys hyfforddiant, cyngor ar gyllid, canllawiau ar arferion gorau, cefnogi recriwtio gwirfoddolwyr, rhwydweithio a llawer mwy.
Mae AVOW wedi cefnogi Incredible Edible Wrecsam gyda £500 o gyllid i gynnal digwyddiadau gwirfoddoli cymunedol, gan arwain at Madeira Hill a Mount Street yn ennill Gwobrau Baner Werdd unwaith eto. Maent hefyd eisoes wedi helpu Creuynni Wellbeing CIC drwy ddigwyddiad ‘Cwrdd â’r Cyllidwyr’, a roddodd gymaint o awgrymiadau a gwybodaeth i ni wrth wneud ceisiadau am gyllid i gefnogi’r prosiectau rydym yn eu rhannu.
Rydym yn edrych ymlaen at weithio gyda AVOW ymhellach yn y dyfodol!
Os ydych yn rhan o sefydliad gwirfoddol neu gymunedol ac â diddordeb mewn dod yn aelodau eich hunain, gallaf eu hargymell yn fawr. Gyda phris aelodaeth mor rhesymol o £10 y flwyddyn i sefydliadau fel ni – mae’n ffordd fforddiadwy o fod yn gysylltiedig â’u hadnoddau gwych yma. Gallwch ddod o hyd i’w gwefan yn:
