Mae Sacyr UK, y contractwr sy’n adeiladu Canolfan Ganser newydd Felindre, wedi addysgu bron 1,300 o ddisgyblion ysgol De Cymru mewn gweithgareddau gwyddoniaeth, technoleg, peirianneg a mathemateg (STEM), a hynny mewn mis yn unig. 

Yn rhan o waith y cwmni ym maes gwerth cymdeithasol, mae Cydlynydd Buddion Cymunedol Sacyr UK wedi gweithio mewn partneriaeth â Gyrfa Cymru, Working Options ac Addewid Caerdydd i ymweld ag ysgolion uwchradd a chyflwyno gwersi STEM. 

Ymgysylltodd Sacyr UK hefyd â’r gadwyn gyflenwi sy’n cefnogi'r cwmni wrth iddo adeiladu Canolfan Ganser newydd Felindre i gymryd rhan yn y gwersi, ac felly ymunodd Sphere Solutions, Blue Water a Prichards â’r contractwr i gyflwyno amrywiaeth o sesiynau diddorol a difyr. Roedd y gwersi’n ymdrin â phynciau megis rhoi cipolwg ar yrfaoedd a phosibiliadau o ran gwaith yn y diwydiant adeiladu, yn ogystal â helpu gyda sgiliau cyflogadwyedd a chynnal ffug-gyfweliadau. 

Dywedodd Katie Hathaway, Rheolwr Rhanddeiliaid ac Ymgysylltu Sacyr UK: “Roedd yn wych bod ein partneriaid yn y gadwyn gyflenwi yn gallu ymuno â ni yn y gwersi hyn a dangos i’r plant beth yw’r posibiliadau yn ein diwydiant, yn ogystal â’u helpu gyda’r sgiliau cyflogadwyedd y bydd arnynt eu hangen yn ystod y blynyddoedd nesaf. 

“Rydym yn falch iawn o fod wedi ymgysylltu â bron 1,300 o ddisgyblion ledled y rhanbarth hwn mewn cyfnod mor fyr, ac yn gobeithio parhau â’r gwaith hwn trwy gydol tair blynedd y prosiect.” 

Ffurfiodd Sacyr UK bartneriaeth â Sefydliad Cymunedol Rygbi Caerdydd ar gyfer ei Wersylloedd Heini, Hwyl a Hansh i helpu plant o'r ddinas i fynd i wersyll haf yn Ysgol Gynradd Coryton, a hynny er mwyn iddynt ddod yn fwy egnïol ac iach yr haf hwn. 

Mae'r fenter yn cefnogi plant ifanc, y mae llawer ohonynt yn dod o ardaloedd difreintiedig y ddinas, i gadw'n heini, bwyta deiet iachach, a chael diwrnod llawn hwyl. Mae'r plant sy'n mynychu'r gwersylloedd hefyd yn mwynhau brecwast a chinio maethlon, cytbwys, rhad ac am ddim trwy gydol y gwyliau chwe wythnos, gan helpu i leddfu straen ariannol ar deuluoedd yn ystod gwyliau'r haf. 

Wrth sôn am y fenter, dywedodd Anna Davies, Cydlynydd Buddion Cymunedol Sacyr UK ar safle newydd Canolfan Ganser Felindre: “Mae Heini, Hwyl a Hansh yn un o nifer o raglenni gwych sy'n cael eu rhedeg gan Sefydliad Cymunedol Gleision Caerdydd ar hyd a lled De Cymru. Mae’n ymwneud â mwy nag ychydig oriau o hwyl; mae rhaglenni URC yn defnyddio pŵer chwaraeon i fynd i’r afael â rhwystrau lluosog i helpu i gynyddu llesiant, iechyd a sgiliau.”

Mae’r Gwersylloedd Heini, Hwyl a Hansh yn cael eu rhedeg ar y cyd ag Undeb Rygbi Cymru (URC) ac yn cael eu darparu gan Sefydliadau Cymunedol pedwar clwb rygbi rhanbarthol proffesiynol Cymru. 

Wrth sôn am y fenter, dywedodd Nadine Griffiths o Sefydliad Rygbi Cymunedol Caerdydd: “Mae llawer o'r plant hyn yn cael prydau ysgol am ddim ac felly mae'n wych sicrhau eu bod yn cael y pryd o fwyd hwnnw, ac mae hwn yn un diwrnod yn ystod cyfnod chwe wythnos y gwyliau pan allwn eu denu allan i'r awyr agored a rhoi ychydig o hwyl iddyn nhw.” 

Mae Sefydliad Cymunedol Caerdydd eisoes wedi cadarnhau bod dros 40 wedi cofrestru ar gyfer ei wersyll dros y gwyliau haf trwy Dechrau'n Deg, Sefydliad Pear Tree, a'r Rhaglen Pasbort i'r Ddinas. 

Rydym am roi gwybod i chi y bydd traffig y diwydiant adeiladu yn cael dechrau defnyddio’r bont newydd wrth Asda Coryton yn fuan fel rhan o’r gwaith o adeiladu Canolfan Ganser newydd Felindre. Sylwer y bydd traffig y diwydiant adeiladu yn defnyddio'r fynedfa ar y dyddiadau canlynol: Dydd Mawrth 30 Gorffennaf a dydd Mercher 31 Gorffennaf, dydd Sadwrn 10 Awst, dydd Sul 11 Awst, dydd Sadwrn 31 Awst, a dydd Sul 1 Medi.

Bydd yr agoriad yn caniatáu i draffig y diwydiant adeiladu fynd i mewn i'r safle yn fwy effeithlon a dylai helpu i leihau traffig ar y ffyrdd cyfagos.

Nid yw'r amseroedd gwaharddedig sy'n berthnasol i fynedfa'r ysbyty ar Heol y Parc/Yr Eglwys Newydd yn berthnasol i fynedfa'r bont.

Rydym yn gwerthfawrogi eich amynedd parhaus yn ystod y broses adeiladu a diolch i chi am eich dealltwriaeth a'ch cefnogaeth.

Os oes gennych unrhyw gwestiynau, mae croeso i chi gysylltu.

On Saturday July 20th, members of the Sacyr team hiked Pen Y Fan alongside another 30 people who chose different walking routes to raise money for Llamau. Despite the terrible turn in weather, the team made it and smiles all around at the summit!
Llamau support homeless young people and women to leave homelessness behind for good. Our aim was to collectively walk in excess of 100,000 steps in recognition of the 100,000 children, young people and women that Llamau has supported since its inception nearly 40 years ago.

On 17 June, a potentially dangerous item was discovered within the construction works in our area. The item in question resembled an explosive detonator typically used in quarrying or demolition activities.

As a precautionary measure, the area was immediately cordoned off, and the Police non-emergency service was notified. The item was safely detonated in a secure part of the site at approximately 4.40 today.

We want to assure residents that there is no ongoing threat to safety.

We thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this time. Your safety is our top priority.

For any queries relating to this incident, please contact Katie Hathaway, Stakeholder Engagement and Community Benefits Manager  khathaway@sacyr.com

Enillodd Canolfan Ganser newydd Felindre y dyfarniad “enillydd cyffredinol” yn y categori “Prosiect Gofal Iechyd y Dyfodol” yng Ngwobrau Dylunio Gofal Iechyd Ewropeaidd 2023. Trefnir y gwobrau gan SALUS Global Knowledge Exchange ac Architects for Health. Mae'r gwobrau ymhlith y gwobrau pensaernïaeth rhyngwladol mwyaf mawreddog ym maes pensaernïaeth gofal iechyd, ac yn cydnabod rhagoriaeth broffesiynol ac ymchwil wrth ddylunio amgylcheddau gofal iechyd ledled y byd.

Dychmygwch hyn: tîm prosiect ar gyfer Canolfan Ganser eiconig newydd sbon Felindre, lle mae 33% o gynrychiolaeth fenywaidd yn gweithio ar y prosiect ar hyn o bryd a’r rolau uchaf yn cael eu llenwi gan y pwerdai benywaidd Ortega Carreras, Elena Castro Blanco a Belén Lerma Inguanzo.

Mae tîm Sacyr y DU ac Iwerddon yn dathlu'r cyflawniad aruthrol hwn ar Ddiwrnod Rhyngwladol y Menywod – diwrnod sy'n ymroddedig i anrhydeddu cyflawniadau a chyfraniadau rhyfeddol menywod ledled y byd.

Yn hytrach na dim ond nodi achlysur Diwrnod Rhyngwladol y Menywod; mae’r tîm yn ymgorffori ysbryd grymuso, cydraddoldeb, a chynnydd bob dydd.

Fodd bynnag, nid dyna'r cyfan i'r tîm. I wneud ei genhadaeth o ran cydraddoldeb rhwng y rhywiau yn fwy neilltuol, mae wedi ail-greu'r llun eiconig Atop a Skyscraper – gyda'r bwriad o chwalu rhwystrau a dangos nad oes yr un nenfwd gwydr i fenywod o fewn golwg, nac 'ar y safle' yng Nghanolfan Ganser newydd Felindre. 

Mae gan Acorn, ynghyd â’i bartneriaid uchel eu parch (Sacyr Concessions, Kajima Partnerships, Abrdn, ac Ymddiriedolaeth GIG Prifysgol Felindre), uchelgeisiau enfawr i ddenu mwy o fenywod i’r diwydiant, ac mae ganddynt syniad arloesol – bydd manylion hynny’n cael eu rhyddhau’n fuan!

Cadwch eich llygaid ar agor wrth i dîm Acorn gymryd camau anhygoel tuag at gydraddoldeb rhwng y rhywiau ym maes Adeiladu!

Gyda'n gilydd, gallwn ailddiffinio'r hyn sy'n bosibl.

In April, Whitchurch residents were invited to a community presentation at the village’s Rugby Club to hear more about the design and build process at the new Velindre Cancer Centre, as well as getting a chance to look at a model of the centre. Attendees were treated to Welsh cakes made by local business Bakery Treat Boxes and were also introduced to a new project timeline illustration, created by local designer Natalie Vaughan and local illustrator Jodie Welsh. Representatives from the Acorn Consortium, Sacyr UK, and Velindre NHS Trust project teams attended the meeting to answer any questions residents may have had, and a suggestion letterbox was opened for people to propose any initiatives they would like to support. 

Residents' meetings will continue to take place every last Wednesday of the month for the duration of the construction programme. These will be held at the Noddfa building at 19 Park Road by the Velindre Cancer Centre rear car park.

Acorn in collaboration with Cwmpas (the UK’s largest co-operative development agency), will deliver three hackathons to support stakeholder engagement and the delivery of community benefits across a 36-month period. We will produce a community benefits plan in coproduction with community members and stakeholders.

A Hackathon is designed to bring people, organisations, and communities together to develop fresh ideas for social change and to establish high impact community benefits initiatives. Collectively we will embrace innovation and creative thinking in our co-design of the things that matter to people. The Hackathon’s will provide a vehicle to co-design solutions alongside stakeholders in an equal, reciprocal, democratic and fun way.

•    Stage One: A hackathon at the inception of the build to identify priorities and to build in support for the build locally. This will include multiple stakeholders, and is anticipated to involve 40-60 people. This will take place in August 2024 at Cardiff and the Vale College Campus.

•    Stage Two: A hackathon at the anticipated 18-month mid-way point of the build. 

•    Stage Three: A final hackathon to measure the effectiveness of the community benefits plan.

We invite all interested community organisations or members to attend the hackathon to provide your valuable input. For more information contact us: contact@newvelindre.info

Sacyr partner with the Lighthouse Charity to launch their ‘Behind the smile’ campaign.  Cerys Turner from the Lighthouse charity paid a visit to the team to deliver a presentation to raise awareness about their invaluable services to support the Construction industry. 

With ill mental health statistics so high, with two construction workers taking their own life every working day, Sacyr are doing all they can to support workers on site. Depression manifests itself in different ways, so being alert to spot the signs is paramount for early intervention.

Here at the new Velindre cancer centre, Sacyr launched a campaign to remind our staff to check in with their peers 'behind the smile' because sometimes those who appear the most happy and stable are often those who are struggling the most.

Sacyr make mental health awareness a priority every day, and they are mindful that their gentle words and actions have the ability to truly make a difference.

Cynnal Cymru, one of Wales’ leading sustainability training and advice organisations, will deliver accredited carbon literacy at work and community courses throughout June and July 2024. 

The site workers and staff, working as part of Sacyr on the construction of the New Velindre Cancer Centre will participate in a Carbon Literacy at Work course. Residents of the local community, with a vested interest in the development will have the opportunity to attend the Carbon Literacy for Communities course which will take place on 3rd, 10th,12th July. 

The course will teach participants about the links between human activity and climate change in their day-to-day activities while empowering people to take action to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. It will also teach people how to make positive action to how they live, work and behave to reduce their emissions and in turn help climate change. 

For more information about how residents can enrol onto one of the supplemented carbon literacy courses please contact us: contact@newvelindre.info

By joining the disability confident scheme Sacyr are actively supporting individuals with unique talents although they appreciate its an ongoing commitment and journey. 

As part of this initiative, we are actively looking to support students with Additional Learning Needs (ALN) and Special Educational Needs (SEN) by offering accessible site visits and opportunities for work experience.  

In addition, we have made our permanent welfare compound more accessible to accommodate individuals with physical disabilities, ensuring that everyone has equal access to our facilities.
 

Sacyr’s continued efforts to create a vibrant and positive work environment has paid off, and the entire team is beaming with pride. Sacyr's commitment to diversity, inclusivity, and employee well-being has not only been acknowledged but celebrated with this accolade.  

The team are motivated more than ever to continue encouraging new trailblazing ideas on the new Velindre Cancer Centre and have included mandatory EDI training for all site staff through a partnership with Prospect Digital.

Sacyr UK and Ireland has been recognised with the prestigious Sunday Times Best Places to Work Award for medium organisations. 

To support with the ongoing co-ordination between our multiple employability partners and supply chain, Sacyr UK has appointed a workforce development coordinator to join the Community Benefits team. This secondment opportunity is a major step forward for the Construction industry, as creating a role which connects those in need of employment and the employers looking to hire them, the chance for early success during the candidate selection process is hugely increased. Members of the People Plus team attended Sacyr’s recent ‘Meet the Buyer’ event at Cardiff Arms park, and Hannah (pictured right) will be joining the Sacyr team in June.

Our partnership with People Plus will see us utilising their services to provide opportunities to those furthest away from the labour market and to encourage knowledge share and support with breaking down employability barriers.

Sacyr, along with local designer Natalie Vaughan and local illustrator Jodie Welsh worked together to change a comprehensive construction programme to a visual palatable design used to show the construction progress to the public. 

The illustrations will educate the community on the various milestones throughout the project with a view of encouraging more individuals to consider construction as an aspirational career choice. 

Through industry and education working closely together, Sacyr look forward to providing educational resource through these illustrations, to inspire young talent at the new Velindre Cancer Centre.
