Last week, OpTIC welcomed 80 people from various organisations, including Children’s Commissioner for Wales, Rocío Cifuentes, and Sandy Clubb from the Future Generations Wales to celebrate the launch of the 100 Stories report and toolkit.

100 Stories was a co-produced project led by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board in collaboration with Wrexham University, Public Service Boards and community partners across North Wales. The project explores the personal stories of young adults, parents, caregivers and professionals in various sectors who have experienced the transition from Children’s Services to Adult Services.

This event celebrated the launch of the virtual gallery which showcases all the stories told, as well as the 100 Stories report which was authored by Paula Wood from Wrexham University’s research team. The report itself garnered international attention and a preface from Marshall Ganz of Harvard University, whose public narrative practices were utilised in the telling of the stories.

The storytelling toolkit was also launched which is a practical resource for professionals across health, social care, education and community settings and helps guide those who use it through the storytelling process.

Yr wythnos diwethaf, croesawodd OpTIC 80 o bobl o amrywiol sefydliadau – gan gynnwys Comisiynydd Plant Cymru, Rocío Cifuentes, a Sandy Clubb o Swyddfa Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol Cymru – i ddathlu lansiad adroddiad a phecyn cymorth '100 Stories'.

Roedd '100 Stories' yn brosiect cydweithredol a arweiniwyd gan Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr mewn partneriaeth â Phrifysgol Wrecsam, Byrddau Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus a phartneriaid cymunedol ledled Gogledd Cymru. Mae'r prosiect yn archwilio straeon personol oedolion ifanc, rhieni, gofalwyr a gweithwyr proffesiynol mewn amrywiol sectorau sydd wedi profi'r broses o drosglwyddo o Wasanaethau Plant i Wasanaethau Oedolion.

Roedd y digwyddiad yn dathlu lansiad yr oriel rithwir sy'n arddangos yr holl straeon a rannwyd, yn ogystal ag adroddiad '100 Stories' a ysgrifennwyd gan Paula Wood o dîm ymchwil Prifysgol Wrecsam. Denodd yr adroddiad ei hun sylw rhyngwladol a rhagair gan Marshall Ganz o Brifysgol Harvard, y defnyddiwyd ei arferion naratif cyhoeddus wrth adrodd y straeon.

Lansiwyd y pecyn cymorth ar gyfer adrodd straeon hefyd; mae'n adnodd ymarferol ar gyfer gweithwyr proffesiynol ym meysydd iechyd, gofal cymdeithasol, addysg a chymunedau, ac mae'n helpu i arwain y rhai sy'n ei ddefnyddio drwy'r broses o adrodd straeon.

Over the Bank Holiday weekend, our well-known 'Minecraft' trees and surrounding foliage all had their annual 'short back and sides'! 🌳 ✂️

Around this time each year, all trees, hedges and shrubs in the OpTIC main car park are carefully trimmed and maintained by a local contractor following the peak bird nesting season 🐦 🪺

Take a look at some 'before and after' photos!

Dros benwythnos Gŵyl y Banc, cafodd ein coed 'Minecraft' adnabyddus a'r dail o'u cwmpas eu 'cefn a'u hochrau byr' blynyddol! 🌳 ✂️

Tua'r adeg hon bob blwyddyn, mae pob coeden, gwrych a llwyn ym mhrif faes parcio OpTIC yn cael eu tocio a'u cynnal yn ofalus gan gontractwr lleol yn dilyn tymor nythu adar brig 🐦 🪺

Rydym yn falch o gyhoeddi fod Rachel Clacher CBE wedi'i phenodi yn Ganghellor newydd Prifysgol Wrecsam, gan olynu Colin Jackson CBE.

Yn entrepreneur, dyngarwr ac arweinydd dinesig uchel ei pharch, mae Rachel yn gyd-sylfaenydd Moneypenny, yn sylfaenydd yr elusen symudedd cymdeithasol WeMindTheGap, ac yn Gadeirydd Bwrdd Dinas Wrecsam.

Yn ei rôl newydd fel pennaeth seremonïol a llysgennad, bydd yn cynrychioli Prifysgol Wrecsam ar draws Cymru, y DU, ac yn rhyngwladol.

Gan adlewyrchu ar ei phenodiad, rhannodd Rachel ei gweledigaeth ar gyfer creu cyfleoedd sy'n newid bywyd:

"Gall addysg newydd cyfeiriad bywyd. Ond gall cael rhywun yn credu ynddoch chi wneud hynny hefyd, rhywun yn agor drws neu eich helpu i weld posibilrwydd newydd."

Gan ei chroesawu i'r rôl, amlygodd yr Is-ganghellor, yr Athro Joe Yates, sut mae cefndir Rachel yn cyd-fynd â dyfodol y Brifysgol:

"Mae penodiad Rachel yn adlewyrchu ymrwymiad Prifysgol Wrecsam i feithrin cysylltiadau cryf rhwng addysg, menter, arloesedd ac effaith cymunedol... Mae hi'n dod â'i llwyddiant eithriadol ym myd busnes, effaith cymdeithasol ac arweinyddiaeth sy'n seiliedig ar le wrth i'r Brifysgol barhau i gyflawni ei strategaeth Wrecsam2030 uchelgeisiol."

Hoffem ddiolch o galon i'r Canghellor sy'n ymadael, Colin Jackson CBE, am ei wasanaeth ymroddedig, a gofynnwn i chi ymuno â ni i roi croeso cynnes i Rachel Clacher CBE!

In her new role as ceremonial head and ambassador, she will represent Wrexham University across Wales, the UK, and internationally.
