It was great to be in the Senedd today to launch our Progress Report on the Social Enterprise Stakeholder Group's Vision and Action Plan: Transforming Wales through social enterprise. Read the report here: https://buff.ly/3Tuv1xO We heard from three inspiring social enterprises - Elite Paper Solutions, Câr-y-Môr and Boss and Brew Academy - and discussed the impact they have, their potential for the future and what needs to happen to make social enterprise the business model of choice in Wales. Thanks to everyone who attended! Roedd yn wych bod yn y Senedd heddiw i lansio ein Hadroddiad Cynnydd ar Weledigaeth a Chynllun Gweithredu Grŵp Rhanddeiliaid Menter Gymdeithasol: Trawsnewid Cymru drwy fentrau cymdeithasol.

Our Director of Enterprise, Glenn Bowen, is an experienced co-operator who has worked on regional investment-funded programmes throughout his career. Here he gives his perspective on what the future of regional investment should look like in Wales. https://buff.ly/3z8vQVU

"Mae angen economïau lleol gwydn sy’n blaenoriaethu lles, gwella iechyd y cyhoedd ac yn cymryd y pwysau oddi ar ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus... Rhaid i fuddsoddiad rhanbarthol ychwanegu gwerth i wariant cyhoeddus presennol, i’n helpu i gyflawni’r nod hwn." Mae Glenn Bowen, ein Cyfarwyddwr Rhaglen Fenter, yn gydweithredwr profiadol sydd wedi gweithio ar raglenni wedi’u hariannu gan ddadansoddiad rhanbarthol trwy gydol ei yrfa. Yma, mae'n rhoi ei safbwynt ar sut dylai dyfodol dadansoddiad rhanbarthol edrych yng Nghymru. https://buff.ly/3Xz1uFE
