Mae gennym ddiddordeb yn arbennig mewn clywed gan bobl sy’n byw yn Nhrehopcyn neu’r cyffiniau, sy’n medru’r Gymraeg a/ neu sy’n teimlo bod profiad eu bywyd heb ei gynrychioli ddigon yn y celfyddydau neu ar fyrddau elusennau.Mae gennym ddiddordeb hefyd mewn clywed gan bobl a chanddyn nhw brofiad ym meysydd cynaliadwyedd yr amgylchedd, diogelu, marchnata neu feithrin perthynas, rheoli staff, diogelu data a/ neu reoli oedfannau. Fodd bynnag, y peth pwysicaf yw bod gennych ddiddordeb yn y celfyddydau ac awch a brwdfrydedd dros helpu ein cymuned a’n pobl ifanc i goleddu creadigedd, dinasyddiaeth a charedigrwydd.

Maeymddiredolwyr yn cwrdd bob ychydig fisoedd i fwrw golwg ar waith yr elusen, ei gynllunio a’i drafod.
