Mobility Walks to support people on a stroll around Saundersfoot

A series of free mobility walks are being held in South Pembrokeshire to help people with mobility problems to enjoy the great outdoors following a successful trial in Saundersfoot.

The events are being organised in partnership between the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, Community Connectors and Pembrokeshire Voluntary Transport.

The route is designed for anyone with mobility issues that require extra support, including those who can only walk on flat surfaces, as well as mobility scooter and wheelchair users.

National Park Authority Walkability Project Co-ordinator, Sam Evans, said: “One of the people who attended our trial described the walk as amazing and explained how she hadn’t enjoyed the outdoors in this way for over 12 months.

“We are hoping more people will be encouraged to come along and enjoy the social benefits of walking in a group, as well as the physical and mental health advantages.

“Please note that while we may be able to help with transport, we are unable to help with lifting or personal care.”

The Mobility Walks will be held from 10am to 12 noon on Wednesday 17 July, Wednesday 18 September, Wednesday 16 October and Wednesday 18 December.

The meeting point for each walk will be the Coppet Hall Beach Centre.

Please call Jo Morgan on 01646 624856 to book your place and arrange transport if needed. Please note that transport is only available in the Saundersfoot area, as far as Amroth, Kilgetty and New Hedges.

Bookings must be completed by 5pm on the Wednesday before the walk date and note that walks may be cancelled due to bad weather or other unavoidable circumstances.

You will need to ensure your wheelchair has a wheelchair passport, which you can arrange by contacting busbuddies@pacto.org.uk or by calling 01437 770119.

Teithiau Symudedd i helpu pobl i fynd am dro o amgylch Saundersfoot

Mae cyfres o deithiau symudedd rhad ac am ddim yn cael eu cynnal yn Ne Sir Benfro i helpu pobl â phroblemau symudedd i fwynhau’r awyr agored, yn dilyn treial llwyddiannus yn Saundersfoot.

Mae’r digwyddiadau’n cael eu trefnu mewn partneriaeth rhwng Awdurdod Parc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro, Cysylltwyr Cymunedol a Thrafnidiaeth Wirfoddol Sir Benfro.

Mae’r llwybr wedi’i gynllunio ar gyfer unrhyw un â phroblemau symudedd y mae angen cymorth ychwanegol arno, yn cynnwys y rhai nad ydynt ond yn gallu cerdded ar dir gwastad, a defnyddwyr sgwteri symudedd a chadeiriau olwyn.

Dywedodd Cydgysylltydd y Prosiect ‘Walkability’ Awdurdod y Parc Cenedlaethol, Sam Evans: “Disgrifiodd un o’r bobl a fu ar ein treial y daith fel un anhygoel, ac esboniodd nad oedd hi wedi mwynhau’r awyr agored fel hyn ers dros 12 mis.

“Rydym yn gobeithio y caiff mwy o bobl eu hannog i ddod atom a mwynhau manteision cymdeithasol cerdded mewn grŵp, yn ogystal â’r manteision corfforol a meddyliol.

“Dylech nodi, er y byddwn efallai yn gallu helpu gyda thrafnidiaeth, ni allwn helpu i godi pobl na helpu gyda gofal personol.”

Caiff y Teithiau Symudedd eu cynnal o 10am tan 12 hanner dydd ddydd Mercher 17 Gorffennaf, dydd Mercher 18 Medi, dydd Mercher 16 Hydref a dydd Mercher 18 Rhagfyr.

Canolfan Traeth Coppet Hall fydd y man cyfarfod ar gyfer pob taith.

Ffoniwch Jo Morgan ar 01646 624856 i archebu eich lle a threfnu trafnidiaeth os oes angen. Dylech nodi mai dim ond yn ardal Saundersfoot mae trafnidiaeth ar gael, cyn belled ag Amroth, Cilgeti a New Hedges.

Rhaid cwblhau eich archeb erbyn 5pm ar y dydd Mercher cyn dyddiad y daith a dylech nodi y gall teithiau gael eu canslo oherwydd tywydd garw neu amgylchiadau eraill annisgwyl.

Bydd angen ichi sicrhau bod gan eich cadair olwyn basport – gallwch drefnu hyn drwy gysylltu â busbuddies@pacto.org.uk neu drwy ffonio 01437 770119.
