In this episode of Tidy People, we chat with Emma Alcock from Cwm Taf People First—a group led by and for people with learning disabilities.

Emma shares how they’re helping people speak up for themselves, live more independently, and feel safe and included in their communities. From the amazing Codi Llais choir to creative projects and Safe Places around town, there’s so much to be inspired by.

We talk about: – Why having a voice really matters – How art and music can help people express themselves – What it means to feel safe and confident in your community – The difference real inclusion can make in everyday life

This is a warm, powerful story about community, creativity, and the right to be heard. Whether you’re part of this work or just curious about the difference it makes—this one’s worth a listen.

 

Yn y bennod hon o Tidy People, rydyn ni’n sgwrsio ag Emma Alcock o Pobl yn Gyntaf Cwm Taf - grŵp sy’n cael ei arwain gan ac ar gyfer pobl ag anableddau dysgu.

Mae Emma yn rhannu sut maen nhw'n helpu pobl i leisio’u barn, byw'n fwy annibynnol a theimlo'n ddiogel ac wedi’u cynnwys yn eu cymunedau. O gôr anhygoel Codi Llais i brosiectau creadigol a Mannau Diogel o gwmpas y dref, mae cymaint i’ch ysbrydoli.

Rydyn ni’n siarad am:

– Pam mae cael llais yn wirioneddol bwysig

– Sut gall celf a cherddoriaeth helpu pobl i fynegi eu hunain

– Beth mae'n ei olygu i deimlo'n ddiogel ac yn hyderus yn eich cymuned

– Y gwahaniaeth y gall cynhwysiant go iawn ei wneud mewn bywyd bob dydd

Mae hon yn stori dwymgalon, bwerus am gymuned, creadigrwydd a'r hawl i gael eich clywed. P'un a ydych chi'n rhan o'r gwaith hwn neu'n chwilfrydig am y gwahaniaeth y mae'n ei wneud - mae'r stori hon yn werth gwrando arni.
