Risca Hack of Kindness | Hac Caredigrwydd Rhisga
Event Information
About this event
Do you have fresh ideas to improve well-being for everyone in the community? Would you like to work with others to make a difference?
This Risca Hack of Kindness is a one-day event on September 16th to get the community working together. During the event, you’ll be working in teams of five to develop fresh ideas to improve health and well-being in Risca. You don’t need any prior knowledge, just lots of enthusiasm, drive and a willingness to be a team player.
There will be workshops on creative thinking, planning a project, finding resources and engaging with the community. At the end of the day, each team will pitch their ideas. This isn’t a competition, but if you are serious about taking your idea forward, we will let you know about funding opportunities and support available.
Who is it for?
Anyone in Risca with the passion to make a positive difference and the drive to work with others to start a new project from scratch.
Where and when is it happening?
8.30am – 6pm Thursday 16th September at Channel View Community Centre, Hafod-y-Bryn, Pontymister, Risca, Newport, NP11 6LL
Areas for fresh ideas
We will be looking for ideas for new projects on the following topics:
- Improving mental health
- Bringing generations together
- Local food initiatives
- Combating social isolation
- Digital inclusion
We would love you to sign up as a team of five to create new project ideas around one of these themes, but if there is a different one that you have ideas for then please tell us about it. You can join as a team or join with others with the same interest.
Why is it called a “Hack of Kindness”?
The “Hack” is about this being a one-day event to come up with new ideas and the “Kindness” part is about focusing on doing good in the community.
How much does it cost?
The event is totally free! We will start the day with coffee and biscuits, feed you lunch and have some cake in the afternoon. And there will be tea and coffee throughout the day.
Do I have to attend all day?
In a word, yes. You will be part of a team coming up with new health and well-being project ideas. Your team will be working together throughout the day on new ideas.
How do I get involved?
You can sign up on the Eventbrite page or email david.llewellyn@wales.nhs.uk with any questions or to express your interest with ‘Risca Hack of Kindness’ as the subject.
Who is running it?
The event is being hosted by the Integrated Wellbeing Networks Gwent, supported by GAVO, and run by a team of people from Wales Co-operative Centre.

A oes gennych chi syniadau newydd i wella lles i bawb yn y gymuned? A hoffech chi weithio gydag eraill i wneud gwahaniaeth?
Mae Hac Caredigrwydd Rhisga yn ddigwyddiad undydd ar 16 Medi i ysgogi’r gymuned i weithio gyda’i gilydd. Yn ystod y digwyddiad, byddwch yn gweithio mewn timau o bump i ddatblygu syniadau newydd i wella iechyd a lles yn Rhisga. Nid oes angen unrhyw wybodaeth flaenorol arnoch, dim ond llawer o frwdfrydedd, egni a pharodrwydd i fod yn aelod o dîm.
Bydd gweithdai ar feddwl yn greadigol, cynllunio prosiect, dod o hyd i adnoddau ac ennyn sylw’r gymuned. Ar ddiwedd y dydd, bydd pob tîm yn cyflwyno’u syniadau. Nid cystadleuaeth yw hon ond, os ydych o ddifrif am ddatblygu’ch syniad, byddwn yn rhoi gwybod i chi am y cyfleoedd cyllid a’r cymorth sydd ar gael.
I bwy mae hwn?
Unrhyw un yn Rhisga sydd â’r angerdd i wneud gwahaniaeth cadarnhaol a’r egni i weithio gydag eraill i ddechrau prosiect newydd o’r dechrau’n deg.
Ble a phryd mae’n digwydd?
8.30am – 6pm dydd Iau, 16 Medi yng Nghanolfan Gymunedol Channel View, Hafod-y-Bryn, Pontymister, Rhisga, Casnewydd, NP11 6LL
Meysydd syniadau newydd
Byddwn yn chwilio am syniadau ar gyfer prosiectau newydd ar y pynciau canlynol:
- Gwella iechyd meddwl
- Dod â’r cenedlaethau ynghyd
- Mentrau bwyd lleol
- Brwydro unigedd cymdeithasol
- Cynhwysiant digidol
Byddem ni wrth ein bodd pe gallech gofrestru fel tîm o bump i greu syniadau newydd am brosiectau ynghylch un o’r themâu hyn, ond os oes gennych syniadau ar gyfer thema wahanol, rhowch wybod i ni. Gallwch ymuno fel tîm neu ymuno ag eraill sydd â’r un diddordeb.
Pam mae’n cael ei alw’n “Hac Caredigrwydd”?
Mae’r “Hac” yn ymwneud â’r ffaith bod hwn yn ddigwyddiad undydd i feddwl am syniadau newydd ac mae “Caredigrwydd” yn ymwneud â chanolbwyntio ar wneud daioni yn y gymuned.
Beth fydd y gost?
Digwyddiad am ddim yw hwn! Byddwn yn dechrau’r diwrnod gyda choffi a bisgedi, yn rhoi cinio i chi ac yn cael cacennau yn y prynhawn. A bydd te a choffi ar gael trwy gydol y dydd.
A oes rhaid i fi aros drwy’r dydd?
Mewn gair, oes. Byddwch chi’n rhan o dîm sy’n meddwl am syniadau newydd am brosiectau iechyd a lles. Bydd eich tîm yn gweithio gyda’ch gilydd trwy gydol y dydd ar syniadau newydd.
Sut ydw i’n cymryd rhan?
Gallwch gofrestru yma neu anfon e-bost at david.llewellyn@wales.nhs.uk gydag unrhyw gwestiynau sydd gennych neu i fynegi eich diddordeb, gan roi ‘Hac Caredigrwydd Rhisga’ fel pwnc y neges.
Pwy sy’n ei gynnal?
Rhwydweithiau Lles Integredig Gwent sy’n cynnal y digwyddiad, gyda chefnogaeth GAVO, a bydd yn cael ei redeg gan dîm o bobl o Ganolfan Cydweithredol Cymru.
Cadwch le am ddim, nawr!

Organiser of Risca Hack of Kindness | Hac Caredigrwydd Rhisga
The Wales Co-operative Centre is Wales’ national body for co-operatives, mutuals, social enterprises and employee owned businesses. We apply our co-operative values to strengthening communities and services as well as supporting these businesses.
For over thirty years, we’ve helped organisations and communities by providing responsive, reliable and flexible support.
Our work covers two broad areas.
- We support Wales’ economic growth by providing a comprehensive range of services to co-operatives, mutuals, social enterprises and employee owned businesses. We have been doing so successfully for over thirty years. As well as recognising the value of co-operatives as a business model, we also believe that the principles of co-operation can be applied to the traditional business sector for the benefit of the wider economy. Co-operation can act as a business advantage. As experts in co-operation, we have a role in supporting traditional businesses to gain a co-operative advantage from applying co-operative values and principles to their businesses, for example through consortia working.
- The Centre has considerable experience of delivering innovative programmes that strengthen communities and promote inclusion in a variety of different ways. We helped establish many of Wales’ credit unions and continue to work closely with the credit union movement to promote financial inclusion. The Wales Co-operative Centre is the leading organisation delivering digital inclusion interventions in Wales and currently delivers Digital Communities Wales on behalf of Welsh Government
