Diwrnod Cenedlaethol Y Gwasanaethau Argyfwng (Diwrnod 999) yw hi 🚑🚒🚓🚁🚤
It's National Emergency Services Day (999 Day) 🚑🚒🚓🚁🚤

Heddiw, rydym yn dathlu dewrder ac ymroddiad ein staff GIG, swyddogion yr heddlu, diffoddwyr tân, parafeddygon, gwylwyr y glannau, yr RNLI, Achub Mynydd a gweithred wyr galwadau. Maen nhw'n rhedeg tuag at berygl ac yn camu i fyny mewn argyfwng 24/7 i'n cadw ni'n ddiogel.
Y tu ôl i'r sgiliau hyn sy'n achub bywydau mae paratoi di-flino. Mae canolfannau fel Plas Menai yn darparu hyfforddiant Rescue 3 trwyadl o safon fyd-eang, gan baratoi ein timau golau glas i ddelio â dyfroedd lifddor peryglus, llanw eithafol, ac achubiaethau dŵr chwim gyda hyder llwyr. 🌊🚤
I bawb sy'n hyfforddi, yn ymateb, ac yn gwasanaethu ar y rheng flaen: diolch am bopeth yr ydych yn ei wneud. 👏❤️ Efallai y gwelwn ni rai ohonoch yn y Sioe Gwasanaethau Argyfwng yn Birmingham yr wythnos nesaf.

Today we celebrate the bravery and dedication of our NHS staff, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, coastguards, RNLI, Mountain Rescue and call handlers. They run toward danger and step up in crises 24/7 to keep us safe.
Behind those life-saving skills is relentless preparation. Centres like Plas Menai provide world-class, rigorous Rescue 3 training, preparing our blue light teams to tackle dangerous floodwaters, extreme tides, and swiftwater rescues with complete confidence. 🌊🚤
To everyone who trains, responds, and serves on the front lines: thank you for everything you do. 👏❤️ We may see some of you at the Emergency Services Show in Birmingham next week.

🌊Roedd yn fraint o’r mwyaf i ni gynnal ein trydydd Diwrnod Insport blynyddol ochr yn ochr â Chwaraeon Anabledd Cymru.
🌊 We were honored to host our third annual Insport Day alongside Disability Sport Wales

Cawsom amser gwych yn croesawu disgyblion a staff Ysgol Pendalar am ddiwrnod llawn o hwyl hygyrch ar y dŵr ac ar dir sych. Roedd gweld pawb yn rhoi cynnig ar weithgareddau newydd, yn magu hyder, ac yn mwynhau’r dŵr yn ei wneud yn ddiwrnod i’w gofio.
Diolch o galon i bawb a gyfrannodd at lwyddiant y digwyddiad, gyda diolch arbennig i Matt a’r tîm anhygoel o SEAS All Afloat Conwy am ddod â’u cwch hygyrch a helpu i sicrhau bod gweithgareddau dŵr yn agored i bawb.
Mae diwrnodau fel hyn yn ein hatgoffa o nerth chwaraeon cynhwysol. Rydym eisoes yn edrych ymlaen at bedwerydd blwyddyn y digwyddiad!

We had a fantastic time welcoming the pupils and staff from Ysgol Pendalar for a full day of accessible fun both on and off the water. Watching everyone get stuck into new activities, build confidence, and make a splash made it a day to remember.
A massive thank you to everyone who made this event such a success, with a special shoutout to Matt and the incredible team from SEAS Conwy for bringing along their accessible boat and helping ensure water activities were open to all.
Days like this remind us of the power of inclusive sport. We’re already looking forward to year four.
