Learn about helping people manage their money online, including some of the main barriers that people face in affording online services.

This session is being delivered by Digital Communities Wales, in collaboration with the Money Guiders Wales Network.

This session is all about helping people manage their money online, including some of the main barriers that people face in accessing and affording online services. During the past 18 months we have seen a huge increase in people being online, through working from home, accessing essential public services and keeping in touch with our families and communities – but not everyone has found it easy.

Mae’r sesiwn hon yn trafod helpu pobl i reoli eu harian ar-lein, gan gynnwys rhai o’r prif rwystrau sy’n wynebu pobl wrth gael mynediad at wasanaethau ar-lein a’u defnyddio. Yn ystod y 18 mis diwethaf, rydym wedi gweld cynnydd enfawr yn nifer y bobl ar-lein, oherwydd gweithio gartref, defnyddio gwasanaethau cyhoeddus hanfodol a chadw mewn cysylltiad â’n teuluoedd a chymunedau – ond dyw hynny ddim wedi bod yn hawdd i bawb.

Bydd y sesiwn ar-lein hon yn:

• Archwilio tlodi data, beth yw hynny a sut i’w oresgyn
• Helpu i ddeall y cysylltiad rhwng allgau digidol ac allgau ariannol
• Darparu ffyrdd o helpu pobl i gael mynediad at gymorth a gwasanaethau ar-lein mewn ffordd ddiogel
• Rhannu rhai adnoddau ac offer digidol y gallwch eu defnyddio gyda’ch cleientiaid er mwyn eu helpu i reoli eu harian

Mae gennym siaradwyr arbenigol o Cymunedau Digidol Cymru i helpu gydag unrhyw gwestiynau am y byd ar-lein, a chydweithwyr Arweinwyr Ariannol o MaPS i helpu i gynnal y drafodaeth a’n cyfeirio at fwy o gyfleoedd dysgu. Bydd lle i rwydweithio a chysylltu ag eraill ledled Cymru.

Bydd y sesiwn hon yn cael ei chyflwyno yn Gymraeg ac rydym wedi’n cyfyngu i uchafswm o 100 o westeion, felly archebwch cyn gynted â phosibl i osgoi cael eich siomi.

Bydd y sesiwn hon drwy gyfrwng y Saesneg gyda Chyfieithydd ar y pryd.

The Money Guiders Programme

Money Guiders is a programme run by MaPS, which seeks to help money guidance practitioners improve their knowledge, skills and confidence. Everything that the Money Guiders programme offers centres around the Money Guidance Competency Framework - it's there to help you better understand the full breadth and depth of money related issues that fall outside of the regulated financial advice service sector - the things you talk to your customers about.

Before attending the session, you could spend some time considering the challenges you face in your work, specifically when you provide help and guidance to your clients or service users around money issues.

• How do you spot potential problems?

• How can you start conversations about money in a sensitive way and at the appropriate time?

• How do you maintain good boundaries in your role as a money guidance practitioner within your main area of work?
