Mid way
through 2004, Arts & Business Cymru is in a buoyant and optimistic
mood. In the last 12 months the work of the Wales team has been more
varied than ever before with the newly established Arts & Kids
campaign going from strength to strength and arts based training becoming
business’ preferred method of developing staff. The audience
for the performance initiative, Art @ the Assembly, continues to grow
with each event. Our Professional Development Programmes have successfully
matched the highest ever number of individuals, and New Partners has
exceeded 100 investments across the country.
The cash incentive programme that encourages business to work with
the arts in new ways has so far in Wales generated £0.75 million
in public money against business investment of £1.5 million.
This money has strengthened projects, encapsulating all that Arts
& Business strives to do. We strongly believe that the arts are
an ideal way of achieving 3 core objectives for business – marketing,
social responsibility and staff development.
To mark its 20th Anniversary, Aaron & Partners Solicitors sponsored
Clwyd Theatr Cymru’s production of Blithe Spirit, effectively
raising its profile and reaching a target market with a gala night
at the theatre. A large scale sponsorship of the Newport Arts Centre
by construction company E Turner & Sons allowed the business to
demonstrate its commitment to the community in a highly visable manner.
New Partners has also played a pivotal role in establishing arts based
training in Wales. Arts trainers addressed the needs of Tywyn based
Halo Foods by devising a project to deal with motivation and team
work – a course deemed to be an overwhelming success from the
board room to the factory floor.
The impact of New Partners is being felt by businesses of all sizes
and increasingly, small & medium sized enterprises, the backbone
of the Welsh economy, are becoming convinced of the benefit of investing
in the arts. To encourage this, Arts & Business Cymru has allocated
funds to create ArtsMatch, a programme that rewards first time sponsorship
between £250-£750.
It has been extremely rewarding to work with all these partnerships
over the past year and I was delighted to see how many were nominated
for the Arts & Business Cymru Awards 2004. This black-tie ceremony
took place at St David’s Hall, Cardiff on 17 May to encourage,
acknowledge and celebrate the best in business / arts partnerships
throughout Wales. This year’s winners were: for New Partnership,
UGC Cinema, Cardiff; for Developing Partnership, Barclays Bank; for
Small Business Partnership, View Creative; for Community Partnership,
HSBC Bank; for Arts & Kids Partnership, Legal & General; for
Staff Involvement Partnership, Hugh James Solicitors; for Individual
Award, Victoria Driscoll and for the Arts & Business / Legal &
General Arts Award, Valleys Kids.

Hugh James
Solicitors, Wales’ largest independent law firm, has experienced
a period of unprecedented growth in recent years and prides itself
on its modern, innovative approach. In 2003, Hugh James was the winner
of the first Welsh Large Law Firm of the Year Award, an accolade that
we believe reflects our emphasis on the importance of people –
both staff and clients. We recognise that 21st Century lawyers need
an ability to communicate at all levels and so for us, the perfect
partners to hone that skill were to be found in the arts.
It was a commitment to develop creative initiatives for the 500+ staff
that first led us to embark on an involvement with A&B’s
Professional Development Programmes. The idea of a law firm employee
working on a voluntary basis within an arts environment was intriguing
and has proved to be inspiring and challenging for all who take part.
While our staff take their considerable legal and managerial skills
to the arts, they return with increased motivation, a broader perspective
and enhanced problem solving and coaching expertise.
We began a 3-year partnership with Welsh National Opera at the end
of 2002. To date, this has involved workshops for Hugh James staff
at every level within the firm. Members of staff have had the opportunity
to attend performances and also realise their own musical ambitions.
In fact, guided by WNO, a group of trainees, partners and administrative
staff gave a rousing performance of the Toreador Chorus from
Carmen that could almost rival the professionals!
In 2003, Hugh James looked to another area of the arts to enhance
its staff’s presentation and communication skills. Initially
a pilot workshop involving 11 employees, the impact of actress Adrienne
O’Sullivan’s tuition was so great that we have now embarked
on a year-long programme of arts based training with her.
All this is helping Hugh James to develop the committed and flexible
workforce needed in an ever changing and competitive legal market
place and this is why we are proud to sponsor the Staff Involvement
category at the Arts & Business Cymru Annual Awards. Having discovered
the benefits of creativity, we wanted to integrate the arts into our
new office premises in Cardiff. In a partnership with CBAT, The Arts
& Regeneration Agency, this summer will see the first of many
art exhibitions throughout our building.
We firmly believe that true partnership with the arts can bring huge
benefit to a business as well as providing enriching cultural experiences.
In the coming months, Hugh James will embark on its first sponsorship
of Valleys Kids to engage and inspire staff at our Merthyr Tydfil
office. While Hugh James Solicitors actively develops new business
opportunities outside Wales, we are determined to demonstrate a contribution
to the local economy and a whole hearted commitment to Wales and its
people.

On 7 February
2004, a special event was held at Cardiff’s Sherman Theatre
to CELEBRATE Arts & Kids Cymru. It marked the success
of the campaign that, in just over a year, had allowed more than 20,000
Welsh children to benefit from unique opportunities. Three groups
of young performers entertained a capacity audience and Arts &
Kids patrons, broadcaster Kate Adie and actress Suzanne Packer, spoke
movingly of the power of the arts to change lives.
The evening was opened by young people from the Sherman’s Acting
Out Cardiff. This educational and performance initiative for 14-16
year olds who have difficulties adapting to school, takes the teenagers
out of the classroom and gives them hands-on experience each week
in a professional arts environment. It is a collaboration between
Cardiff Council’s Schools Service and the Sherman Theatre that
allows the pupils to gain confidence in themselves, develop important
life skills and express their individuality while working as a team.
Young
people with a range of learning difficulties and physical or mental
disabilities who meet weekly as Clwyd Theatr Cymru’s FUSE, travelled
from Flintshire to make their Cardiff debut. The youngsters work with
professional tutors on dance and movement to develop expressive and
creative skills that also improve co-ordination, spatial awareness
and self confidence.
The final performers of the evening were the children of the Butetown
Junior Schools Choir. Set up in 1997 by Musical Director Humie Webbe,
it offers performing opportunities to pupils of three Cardiff schools
and aims to dispel negative images of the area. The diverse cultures
of the choir members result in a unique sound and wide appeal.
During the event, the first 20 partners of Arts & Kids Cymru were
presented with certificates on behalf of HRH The Prince of Wales in
recognition of their contribution. The names of Arts & Kids Cymru
patrons were also announced. They are BBC News’ Huw Edwards,
Olympic athletes, Colin Jackson and Tanni Grey Thompson, actors Ioan
Gruffudd, Matthew Rhys and Suzanne Packer, Chief Executive of the
Wales Millennium Centre, Judith Isherwood, and world renowned opera
star Bryn Terfel.

CELEBRATE
Arts & Kids Cymru heralded the next phase of the campaign in Wales
and elicited strong future business commitment. To date, Welsh support
of Arts & Kids has totalled an incredible £500,000, over
two thirds of which has been invested by the private sector. Plans
are well underway for another major Arts & Kids event in October
when StoryQuest will bring 1,200 children to St David’s Hall
to enjoy a day with some of the UK’s leading writers. This has
been made possible by Arts & Kids Cymru’s principal supporter,
Barclays Bank.

Wrth
symud i mewn i flwyddyn ariannol newydd, mae Celfyddydau & Busnes
Cymru yn teimlo’n llawn bywyd ac yn optimistaidd. Yn y 12
mis diwethaf, mae gwaith tîm Cymru wedi bod yn fwy amrywiol
nag erioed gyda’r ymgyrch Celf & Phlant Cymru sydd newydd
ei sefydlu yn mynd o nerth i nerth a hyfforddiant yn seiliedig yn
y celfyddydau’n dod yn ddull a ddefnyddir gan fusnesau er
mwyn datblygu staff. Mae’r gynulleidfa ar gyfer y fenter berfformio,
Celf Cynulliad, yn parhau i dyfu gyda phob digwyddiad. Mae’n
Rhaglenni Datblygiad Proffesiynol wedi llwyddo i ddod â’r
nifer fwyaf erioed o unigolion at ei gilydd, ac mae Partneriaid
Newydd wedi rhagori ar 100 o fuddsoddiadau ar draws y wlad.
Hyd yma yng Nghymru, mae’r rhaglen cymhelliant ariannol sy’n
annog busnes i weithio gyda’r celfyddydau mewn ffyrdd newydd
wedi cynhyrchu £0.75 miliwn mewn arian cyhoeddus o gymharu
â buddsoddiad busnes o £1.5 miliwn. Mae’r arian
hwn wedi cryfhau prosiectau sy’n crynhoi popeth y mae Celfyddydau
& Busnes yn ymdrechu i’w gyflawni. Credwn yn gryf fod
y celfyddydau’n ffordd ddelfrydol o gyflawni 3 amcan craidd
ar gyfer busnes – marchnata, cyfrifoldeb cymdeithasol a datblygiad
staff.
I nodi ei 20fed Pen-blwydd, penderfynodd Aaron & Partners Solicitors
noddi cynhyrchiad Clwyd Theatr Cymru o Blithe Spirit, gan
lwyddo i godi ei broffil a chyrraedd marchnad darged gyda noson
gala yn y theatr. O ganlyniad i nawdd ar raddfa fawr gan gwmni adeiladu
E Turner & Sons ar gyfer Canolfan Gelfyddydau Casnewydd, galluogwyd
y busnes i ddangos ei ymrwymiad i’r gymuned mewn ffordd amlwg
iawn. Mae Partneriaid Newydd hefyd wedi chwarae rhan allweddol wrth
sefydlu hyfforddiant yn seiliedig yn y celfyddydau yng Nghymru.
Aeth hyfforddwyr celfyddydau i’r afael ag anghenion Halo Foods
o Dywyn drwy ddyfeisio prosiect i ddelio â chymhelliant a
gwaith tîm – ystyriwyd y cwrs yn llwyddiant ysgubol,
o’r ystafell fwrdd i lawr y ffatri.
Mae dylanwad Partneriaid Newydd yn cael ei deimlo gan fusnesau o
bob maint ac yn gynyddol mae busnesau bach a chanolig, sef asgwrn
cefn economi Cymru, yn cael eu hargyhoeddi o fantais buddsoddi yn
y celfyddydau. I annog hyn, mae Celfyddydau & Busnes Cymru wedi
dyrannu arian i greu ArtsMatch, rhaglen sy’n gwobrwyo nawdd
am y tro cyntaf rhwng £250 a £750.
Mae wedi bod yn hynod fuddiol gweithio gyda’r holl bartneriaethau
hyn dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf ac roeddwn yn falch o weld sawl cafodd
eu henwebu ar gyfer Gwobrau Celfyddydau & Busnes Cymru 2004.
Cynhaliwyd y seremoni ffurfiol hon yn Neuadd Dewi Sant, Caerdydd
ar 17 Mai.
Yr enillwyr oedd: ar gyfer Partneriaeth Newydd, Sinema UGC, Caerdydd;
ar gyfer Partneriaeth sy’n Datblygu, Banc Barclays; ar gyfer
Partneriaeth Busnes Bach, View Creative; ar gyfer Partneriaeth Gymunedol,
Banc HSBC; ar gyfer Partneriaeth Celf & Phlant, Legal &
General; ar gyfer Cyswllt Staff, Cyfreithwyr Hugh James; ar gyfer
Gwobl Unigolyn, Victoria Driscoll ac ar gyfer Gwobr Gelfyddydol
Celfyddydau & Busnes / Legal & General, Valleys Kids.
Yn
ogystal rhoddwyd Cymeradwyaeth i Gymdeithas Adeuladwr Principality,
Eversheds, Carl Kammerling International, VSI Thinking, Banc Julian
Hodge, Cyflenwyr Adeiladwyr LBS, ScottishPower, Taylor Tiles a Gwenda
Williams.

Mae Cyfreithwyr
Hugh James, cwmni cyfreithiol annibynnol mwyaf Cymru, wedi profi cyfnod
o dwf annisgwyl yn y blynyddoedd diweddar ac mae’n ymfalchïo
yn ei ymagwedd fodern, arloesol. Yn 2003, Hugh James oedd enillydd
cyntaf Gwobr Cwmni Cyfreithiol Mawr y Flwyddyn yng Nghymru, gwobr
sydd, yn ein barn ni, yn adlewyrchu ein pwyslais ar bwysigrwydd pobl
– yn staff ac yn gleientiaid. Rydym yn cydnabod bod ar gyfreithwyr
yr 21ain Ganrif angen y gallu i gyfathrebu ar bob lefel, ac felly
i ni, roedd y partneriaid perffaith i ddatblygu’r gallu hwnnw
i’w cael yn y celfyddydau.
Ymrwymiad i ddatblygu mentrau creadigol ar gyfer y 500 a mwy o staff
a arweiniodd ni gyntaf at ddechrau gweithio gyda Rhaglenni Datblygiad
Proffesiynol Celfyddydau & Busnes Cymru. Roedd y syniad o weithiwr
o gwmni cyfreithiol yn gweithio’n wirfoddol mewn amgylchedd
celfyddydol yn un diddorol ac mae wedi bod yn brofiad ysbrydoledig
a heriol i bawb sy’n cymryd rhan. Er bod ein staff yn mynd â’u
sgiliau cyfreithiol a rheoli helaeth i'r celfyddydau, maent yn dychwelyd
gyda mwy o gymhelliant, agwedd ehangach a gwell arbenigedd o ran datrys
problemau a hyfforddi.
Gwnaethom ddechrau partneriaeth o 3 blynedd gydag Opera Genedlaethol
Cymru ddiwedd 2002. Hyd yma, mae’r bartneriaeth wedi cynnwys
gweithdai ar gyfer staff Hugh James ar bob lefel yn y cwmni. Mae aelodau
staff wedi cael y cyfle i fynychu perfformiadau a hefyd i wireddu
eu huchelgeisiau cerddorol eu hunain. Yn wir, yn cael eu harwain gan
OGC, rhoddodd grŵp o hyfforddeion, partneriaid a staff gweinyddol
berfformiad brwd o Corws y Toreador o Carmen a allai gystadlu
â’r perfformwyr proffesiynol bron iawn!
Yn 2003, edrychodd Hugh James at faes arall o'r celfyddydau er mwyn
gwella sgiliau cyflwyno a chyfathrebu ei staff. I gychwyn roedd yn
weithdy peilot yn cynnwys 11 o weithwyr, ond roedd dylanwad tiwtoriaeth
yr actores Adrienne O’Sullivan mor fawr fel ein bod bellach
wedi dechrau ar raglen blwyddyn o hyd gyda hi o hyfforddiant yn seiliedig
yn y celfyddydau.
Mae hyn oll yn helpu Hugh James i ddatblygu’r gweithlu ymrwymedig
a hyblyg y mae ei angen mewn marchnad gyfreithiol sy’n gystadleuol
ac yn newid trwy’r amser, a dyna pam rydym yn falch o noddi’r
categori Ymglymiad Staff yng Ngwobrau Blynyddol Celfyddydau &
Busnes Cymru. Wedi i ni ddarganfod manteision creadigrwydd, roeddem
am integreiddio’r celfyddydau i mewn i’n swyddfeydd newydd
yng Nghaerdydd. Mewn partneriaeth â CBAT, Yr Asiantaeth Gelf
ac Adfywio, bydd y cyntaf o nifer o arddangosfeydd celf i’w
gweld drwy ein hadeilad yr haf hwn.
Credwn yn gryf y gall gwir bartneriaeth â’r celfyddydau
fod yn hynod fuddiol i fusnes, yn ogystal â chynnig profiadau
diwylliannol sy’n cyfoethogi. Yn y misoedd sydd i ddod, bydd
Hugh James yn dechrau noddi Valleys Kids am y tro cyntaf er mwyn ennyn
diddordeb ac ysbrydoli staff yn ein swyddfa ym Merthyr Tudful. Er
bod Cyfreithwyr Hugh James yn datblygu cyfleoedd busnes y tu allan
i Gymru yn frwd, rydym yn benderfynol o ddangos cyfraniad i’r
economi leol ac ymrwymiad brwdfrydig i Gymru a’i phobl.

Ar 7 Chwefror
2004, cynhaliwyd digwyddiad arbennig yn Theatr y Sherman, Caerdydd
i DDATHLU Celf & Phlant Cymru. Roedd yn nodi llwyddiant
yr ymgyrch sydd, mewn ychydig dros flwyddyn, wedi galluogi dros 20,000
o blant Cymru i fanteisio ar gyfleoedd unigryw. Cafwyd tri grŵp
o berfformwyr ifanc yn adlonni cynulleidfa lawn, a chafwyd areithiau
ysgogol gan noddwyr Celf & Phlant, y darlledydd Kate Adie a’r
actores Suzanne Packer, am bŵer y celfyddydau i newid bywydau.
Agorwyd y noson gan bobl ifanc o fenter Acting Out Caerdydd y Sherman.
Mae’r fenter addysgol a pherfformiadol hwn ar gyfer rhai rhwng
14 a 16 oed sy’n cael trafferthion addasu i’r ysgol, yn
mynd â’r bobl ifanc allan o’r ystafell ddosbarth
ac yn rhoi profiad ymarferol iddynt bob wythnos mewn amgylchedd proffesiynol
y celfyddydau. Mae’n fenter ar y cyd rhwng Gwasanaeth Ysgolion
Cyngor Caerdydd a Theatr y Sherman sy’n galluogi’r disgyblion
i ennill hunanhyder, datblygu sgiliau bywyd pwysig a mynegi eu hunaniaeth
wrth weithio fel tîm.
Teithiodd
grŵp o bobl ifanc, sydd ag amrywiaeth o anawsterau dysgu ac anableddau
corfforol neu feddyliol ac sy’n cyfarfod unwaith yr wythnos
fel FUSE Clwyd Theatr Cymru, o Sir y Fflint i roi eu perfformiad cyntaf
yng Nghaerdydd. Mae’r bobl ifanc yn gweithio gyda thiwtoriaid
proffesiynol ar ddawns a symudiad er mwyn datblygu sgiliau mynegiannol
a chreadigol sydd hefyd yn gwella cydsymud, ymwybyddiaeth ofodol a
hunanhyder.
Perfformwyr olaf y noson oedd plant Côr Ysgolion Cynradd Tref
Bute. Sefydlwyd y côr ym 1997 gan y Cyfarwyddwr Cerddorol, Humie
Webbe, ac mae’n cynnig cyfleoedd perfformio i ddisgyblion tair
o ysgolion Caerdydd ac yn anelu at chwalu delweddau negyddol am yr
ardal. Mae diwylliannau amrywiol aelodau’r côr yn arwain
at sŵn unigryw ac apêl eang.
Yn ystod y digwyddiad, cyflwynwyd tystysgrifau i 20 partner cyntaf
Celf & Phlant Cymru ar ran EUB Tywysog Cymru mewn cydnabyddiaeth
o’u cyfraniad. Hefyd, cyhoeddwyd enwau noddwyr Celf & Phlant
Cymru, sef Huw Edwards o Newyddion y BBC, yr athletwyr Olympaidd,
Colin Jackson a Tanni Grey Thompson, yr actorion Ioan Gruffudd, Matthew
Rhys a Suzanne Packer, Prif Weithredwr Canolfan Mileniwm Cymru, Judith
Isherwood a’r canwr opera byd-enwog, Bryn Terfel.

Roedd
DATHLU Celf & Phlant Cymru yn arwydd o gychwyn cam nesaf
yr ymgyrch yng Nghymru ac enynnodd ymrwymiad cryf gan fusnesau ar
gyfer y dyfodol. Hyd yma, mae cefnogaeth yng Nghymru i Gelf &
Phlant wedi dod i gyfanswm anhygoel o £500,000, gyda mwy na
dwy ran o dair ohono wedi’i fuddsoddi gan y sector preifat.
Mae cynlluniau wedi hen ddechrau ar gyfer digwyddiad Celf & Phlant
mawr arall ym mis Hydref pan fydd StoryQuest yn dod â 1,200
o blant i Neuadd Dewi Sant i fwynhau diwrnod gyda rhai o awduron mwyaf
blaenllaw y DU. Gwnaed hyn yn bosibl gan brif gefnogwr Celf &
Phlant Cymru, Banc Barclays.
