🌍✈️ Dublin Adventures for Kyle & Dan! 🍀🇮🇪
Kyle and Dan have just returned from an amazing trip to Dublin, packed full of adventure and new experiences!
Dan had a fantastic time—and has even developed a taste for Guinness after learning how to pour the perfect pint at the Guinness Experience 🍺👏
From exploring the Leprechaun Experience to visiting museums and enjoying the atmosphere in Dublin’s many pubs, the boys made the most of every moment.
This trip was made possible through a respite arrangement with Shared Lives, with Kyle supporting Dan to enjoy a well-deserved break away 🧡
And the adventure doesn’t stop here… they’re already planning their next city getaway! 🌆✈️
👉 Are you interested in providing support that feels like family?
Shared Lives are looking for kind, committed people to become Shared Lives carers and help create meaningful experiences like this. Get in touch to find out more!

🌍✈️ Anturiaethau Kyle a Dan yn Nulyn! 🍀
Mae Kyle a Dan newydd ddychwelyd o daith anhygoel i Ddulyn, llawn antur a phrofiadau newydd!
Cafodd Dan amser gwych – ac mae hyd yn oed wedi datblygu blas ar Guinness ar ôl dysgu sut i arllwys y peint perffaith yn y Profiad Guinness 🍺👏
Fe wnaethon nhw archwilio'r Profiad Leprechaun ac ymweld ag amgueddfeydd yn ogystal â mwynhau'r awyrgylch yn nifer o dafarndai Dulyn. Gwnaeth y bechgyn y gorau o bob eiliad.
Roedd y daith hon yn bosibl trwy drefniant seibiant gyda Cysylltu Bywydau, gyda Kyle yn cynorthwyo Dan i fwynhau seibiant haeddiannol 🧡
Ac nid yw'r antur yn dod i ben yma... Maen nhw eisoes yn cynllunio eu gwyliau dinas nesaf! 🌆✈️
👉 Oes gennych chi ddiddordeb mewn darparu cymorth sy'n teimlo fel teulu?
Mae Cysylltu Bywydau yn chwilio am bobl garedig, ymroddedig i ddod yn ofalwyr Cysylltu Bywydau a helpu creu profiadau ystyrlon fel hyn. Cysylltwch â ni i gael gwybod rhagor!

Paul, one of our dedicated Shared Lives Carers, recently supported Andrew on an exciting P&O cruise visiting the beautiful destinations of Bilbao and Vigo in Spain, and Cherbourg in France.

The trip provided Andrew with a fantastic opportunity to explore new places, experience different cultures, and enjoy some well-earned relaxation at sea. From scenic coastal views to time spent soaking up the atmosphere ashore, it was a memorable journey filled with new experiences and shared moments.

Paul’s support ensured Andrew felt confident, safe, and comfortable throughout the trip. He also wore his sunflower lanyard, helping others recognise that he may need additional understanding and support, allowing Andrew to enjoy the experience with greater ease and confidence. 💙🌻

Opportunities like this highlight what Shared Lives is all about – helping people live fulfilling, meaningful lives and creating lasting memories.

Yn ddiweddar, roedd Paul, un o’n Gofalwyr Cysylltu Bywydau ymroddedig, yn cynorthwyo Andrew ar fordaith gyffrous gyda P&O, gan ymweld â’r cyrchfannau hardd Bilbao a Vigo yn Sbaen, a Cherbourg yn Ffrainc.

Rhoddodd y daith gyfle gwych i Andrew archwilio lleoedd newydd, profi diwylliannau gwahanol, a mwynhau ychydig o ymlacio haeddiannol ar y môr. Golygfeydd arfordirol syfrdanol a threulio amser yn amsugno’r awyrgylch ar y tir, roedd yn daith gofiadwy llawn profiadau newydd ac eiliadau gyda’i gilydd.

Roedd cymorth Paul wedi sicrhau bod Andrew yn teimlo’n hyderus, yn ddiogel ac yn gyfforddus drwy gydol y daith. Hefyd, gwisgodd Andrew ei laniard blodyn yr haul, gan helpu eraill i gydnabod y gallai fod angen dealltwriaeth a chymorth ychwanegol arno, gan alluogi Andrew i fwynhau’r profiad yn haws ac yn fwy hyderus. 💙🌻

Mae cyfleoedd fel hyn yn tynnu sylw at beth yw pwrpas Cysylltu Bywydau, sef helpu pobl i fyw bywydau boddhaus ac ystyrlon a chreu atgofion parhaol.

🎉 Birthday celebrations! 🎉

Wendy and Lynda enjoyed a lovely meal out to celebrate Lynda’s birthday during sessional support. Lynda looked amazing in her new dress that she chose on a recent sessional shopping trip and enjoyed marking the occasion with a Bacardi and Coke.

It was a wonderful way to celebrate and make special memories together 💐🥂

🎉 Dathliadau Pen-blwydd! 🎉

Mwynhaodd Wendy a Lynda bryd hyfryd i ddathlu pen-blwydd Lynda yn ystod cyfnod cymorth sesiynol. Roedd Lynda’n edrych yn wych yn y ffrog newydd a ddewisodd hi yn ystod taith siopa sesiynol ddiweddar. Fe fwynhaodd nodi’r achlysur gyda Bacardi a Coke.

Roedd yn ffordd hyfryd o ddathlu a chreu atgofion arbennig gyda’i gilydd 💐🥂

🌟 Celebrating Talent in the Kitchen! 🌟

A big well done to Leon Lewis and Ryan Williams, who have been busy creating these delicious homemade chocolate cakes. Their hard work and creativity really shine through in every slice!

And according to Ryan… they tasted every bit as good as they looked! 😄🍰

Fantastic effort both — keep up the amazing work!

🌟 Dathlu Talent yn y Gegin! 🌟

Da iawn i Leon Lewis a Ryan Williams, sydd wedi bod yn brysur yn creu'r cacennau siocled blasus hyn. Mae eu gwaith caled a'u creadigrwydd yn disgleirio ym mhob tafell!

Ac yn ôl Ryan... roedden nhw'n blasu cystal ag yr oedden nhw'n edrych! 😄🍰

Ymdrech wych, chi’ch dau - daliwch ati!

Richard & Paul – Travelling with Confidence Through Shared Lives

Before joining Shared Lives, we did very little travelling. Anxiety and uncertainty often held us back, and we didn’t feel confident enough to explore new places.
Since being in Shared Lives, and with the support and encouragement of our carer Tina, everything has changed. We’ve discovered that we love travelling, and our confidence has grown more than we ever expected.

Over the last couple of years, we’ve enjoyed magical trips to Lapland, and recently we tried something completely new: a beach holiday in Bulgaria. At first, we weren’t sure, but we ended up loving it so much that we now hope to go on another amazing beach holiday for our big birthday. We’ve also had great breaks in Eastbourne and Butlins, making memories full of fun, fresh air, and laughter.

Shared Lives has opened the door to new adventures, new confidence, and a world of opportunities one trip at a time.

*************************
Richard a Paul – Teithio’n hyderus drwy Cysylltu Bywydau

Cyn ymuno â’r cynllun Cysylltu Bywydau, gwnaethon ni ychydig iawn o deithio. Roedd pryder ac ansicrwydd yn aml yn ein dal ni’n ôl, ac nid oedden ni’n teimlo'n ddigon hyderus i archwilio lleoedd newydd.
Ers bod yn rhan o’r cynllun Cysylltu Bywydau, a gyda chymorth ac anogaeth ein gofalwr Tina, mae popeth wedi newid. Rydyn ni wedi darganfod ein bod ni wrth ein bodd yn teithio, ac rydyn ni wedi magu hyder y tu hwnt i’r disgwyl.

Dros yr ychydig flynyddoedd diwethaf, rydyn ni wedi mwynhau teithiau hudolus i Lapland ac, yn ddiweddar fe wnaethon ni roi cynnig ar rywbeth hollol newydd, sef gwyliau traeth ym Mwlgaria. Ar y dechrau, nid oedden ni’n siŵr, ond fe wnaethon ni fwynhau cymaint, rydyn ni bellach yn gobeithio mynd ar wyliau traeth anhygoel arall ar gyfer ein pen-blwydd mawr. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cael seibiannau gwych yn Eastbourne a Butlins, gan greu atgofion llawn hwyl, awyr iach, a chwerthin.

Mae Cysylltu Bywydau wedi agor y drws i anturiaethau newydd, hyder newydd, a byd o gyfleoedd un daith ar y tro.

🌟 A Long Awaited Dream Come True for Josh! 🌟
This week, Josh Morgan had the incredible opportunity to try indoor snowboarding — something he has been eager to experience for a long time.

Josh travelled all the way to Manchester with one of his Shared Lives family members Amir to make it happen, and it was absolutely worth the journey. He enjoyed every moment on the slopes and made the most of this fantastic experience.

🌟 Gwireddu breuddwyd i Josh! 🌟

Yr wythnos hon, cafodd Josh Morgan gyfle anhygoel i roi cynnig ar eirafyrddio dan do – rhywbeth y mae wedi bod yn awyddus i'w brofi ers amser maith.

Fe wnaeth Josh deithio'r holl ffordd i Fanceinion gydag aelod o'i deulu Cysylltu Bywydau, Amir, i wireddu ei freuddwyd – ac roedd y daith yn un werth chweil yn bendant. Fe wnaeth e fwynhau pob eiliad ar y llethrau a manteisio i'r eithaf ar y profiad gwych hwn.

The photos say it all — a night full of fun, laughter, singing and dancing as everyone came together to celebrate Zoe’s birthday. 🎉💛

A huge well done to Julia, who not only organised such a lovely party for Zoe, but also invited others and their families to join in. What a brilliant example of how our Shared Lives community brings people together, creates real connections, and makes memories that mean so much.
Here’s to more nights filled with joy, friendship and togetherness! 🥳💃🕺

Mae'r lluniau yn dweud y cyfan – noson llawn hwyl, chwerthin, canu a dawnsio wrth i bawb ddod at ei gilydd i ddathlu pen-blwydd Zoe. 🎉💛

Da iawn i Julia, sydd nid yn unig wedi trefnu parti mor hyfryd i Zoe, ond hefyd wedi gwahodd eraill a'u teuluoedd i ddathlu. Am enghraifft wych o sut mae ein cymuned Cysylltu Bywydau yn dod â phobl at ei gilydd, yn creu cysylltiadau go iawn, ac yn gwneud atgofion sy'n golygu cymaint.

Maria was recently supported by her long-term carer Sharon to enjoy her very first cruise, and what an experience it was! 🚢💙

Despite some challenging weather at sea, Sharon and Maria made the very best of their journey together.

They were able to explore the beautiful ports of Arrecife (Spain), Funchal (Portugal) and Tenerife, enjoying new sights, warm welcomes, and plenty of memorable moments along the way.

👏 A huge well done to Sharon for her wonderful support, and to Maria for embracing her first cruise with such enthusiasm!

At Shared Lives, we love seeing carers and the people they support experiencing new things together — building confidence, independence, and lifelong memories. 💜



***************************************************
Yn ddiweddar, cafodd Maria gymorth gan ei gofalwr hirdymor Sharon i fwynhau ei gwyliau mordeithio cyntaf, ac am brofiad! 🚢💙

Er gwaethaf rhywfaint o dywydd heriol ar y môr, fe wnaeth Sharon a Maria fwynhau'r daith gyda'i gilydd.

Roedden nhw'n gallu archwilio porthladdoedd hardd Arrecife (Sbaen), Funchal (Portiwgal) a Tenerife, gan fwynhau golygfeydd newydd, croeso cynnes, a llawer o eiliadau cofiadwy ar hyd y ffordd.

👏 Da iawn i Sharon am ei chymorth gwych, ac i Maria am groesawu ei gwyliau mordeithio cyntaf gyda chymaint o frwdfrydedd!

Yn y cynllun Cysylltu Bywydau, rydyn ni wrth ein bodd yn gweld gofalwyr a'r bobl y maen nhw'n eu cynorthwyo yn profi pethau newydd gyda'i gilydd, gan fagu hyder, annibyniaeth, ac atgofion gydol oes. 💜
