Your warmest friend

Day 9: Your warmest friend

Welsh translation: Eich cyfaill cynhesaf

The Warm Welcome Campaign

Hello, I’m David Barclay from The Warm Welcome Campaign. We provide Warm Welcome Spaces for communities right across the UK.

Our campaign began last winter as an emergency response to the worst cost-of-living crisis in 70 years.

7000 Warm Spaces helped over half a million people struggling to keep warm amidst soaring heating costs and inflated prices for food and necessities.

We offer endless cups of tea, warmth and welcome to anyone struggling to get through winter alone. Warm Welcome Spaces offer an open invitation to everyone, to come in, keep warm, connect with others, and make new friends.

The Warm Welcome Campaign is about helping communities struggling to keep warm and to pay for basic day-to-day living costs.

But it’s also about helping everyone to connect with their communities, make new friends and vitally to feel less isolated and alone.

You might go into a Warm Welcome Space feeling a bit cold and down, but you always come out with a smile on your face. People come for the warmth and stay for the welcome.

By creating a picture of your warmest friend, you’ll discover the magic and what is so special about every Warm Welcome Space.

Helo, David Barclay ydw i o’r Ymgyrch Croeso Cynnes. Rydyn ni’n darparu Mannau Croeso Cynnes i gymunedau ledled y DU. Dechreuodd yr ymgyrch yn ystod gaeaf y llynedd fel ymateb brys i’r argyfwng costau byw gwaethaf ers 70 o flynyddoedd. Helpodd 7000 o Fannau Cynnes dros hanner miliwn o bobl oedd yn brwydro i gadw’n gynnes wrth wynebu costau gwresogi cynyddol a phrisiau uwch am fwyd a hanfodion. Rydyn ni’n cynnig paneidiau diddiwedd o de, cynhesrwydd a chroeso i unrhyw un sy’n brwydro drwy’r gaeaf ar eu pen eu hunain. Mae Mannau Croeso Cynnes yn estyn gwahoddiad agored i bawb i ddod i mewn, cadw’n gynnes, cysylltu gyda phobl eraill a gwneud ffrindiau newydd.

Do

Who is the warmest person you know?

Think about what makes them so warm. Maybe it’s their smile.

Draw a simple picture of the warmest person you know, in any style you like.

What colour do they remind you of?

Add a splash of that colour to represent what makes them such a warm person.

Hoffem i chi arlunio darlun o’r person mwyaf cynnes rydych chi’n ei nabod. Meddyliwch beth sy’n eu gwneud nhw mor gynnes. Eu gwên efallai. Pa liw maen nhw’n atgoffa chi ohono? Ychwanegwch y lliw hwnnw i gynrychioli’r peth sy’n eu gwneud nhw’n berson mor gynnes.
