LLongyfarchiadau mawr am weithio mor galed dros eich Cyngor Cymuned Bro Machno

Congratulations for all your hard work for Cyngor Cymuned Bro Machno

✨ Adnewyddu Mynedfa'r Fynwent - Cemetery Entrance Refresh ✨
Rydym yn falch o rannu bod y gwaith atgyweirio ar bentan Mynwent y Cyngor Cymuned (St Tudclud) bellach wedi'i gwblhau!
Wrth gwrs, fasai fo’n well tas’ y difrod gwreiddiol (a achoswyd gan gerbyd) ddim wedi digwydd ond rydyn ni wedi cymryd y cyfle i dacluso’r gwaith cerrig yn iawn. Mae’r fynedfa’n edrych yn wych ac yn rhoi croeso llawer mwy addas i’r lle arbennig yma.
Diolch yn fawr iawn i Dinas Contracting am eu gwaith proffesiynol ac am wneud gwaith mor brydferth.

We are pleased to share that the repair work on the gatepost at the Community Council's Cemetery (St Tudclud) is now officially complete!
While we would have preferred the original damage (caused by a vehicle) hadn't happened, we’ve taken the opportunity to fully smarten up the stonework. The entrance is looking great and provides a much more fitting welcome to this special place.
A huge thank you to Dinas Contracting for their professional workmanship and for doing such a beautiful job.

Ym mis Mawrth 2025, cafodd Stephen Booth ataliad y galon sydyn wrth ymweld â Chanolfan Swyddi Carmarthen Plus. Heb rybudd, syrthiodd a stopiodd anadlu'n normal. Diolch i weithredoedd cyflym Swyddog Diogelwch Chris Manfield a Rheolwr Gwasanaeth Endaf Davies, arbedwyd bywyd Stephen.

Roedd Chris newydd gwblhau hyfforddiant cymorth bywyd sylfaenol ac roedd yn adnabod symtomau ataliad y galon. Ffoniodd 999, dechreuodd CPR, a gofynnodd i Endaf ddod â'r diffib. Er nad oedd Endaf erioed wedi defnyddio un o'r blaen, dilynodd gyfarwyddiadau lleferydd y ddyfais a chyflwynodd ddwy sioc - sy'n ddangos pa mor hawdd yw defnyddio diffib. Parhaodd y ddau i wneud CPR tan gyrhaeddodd Uwch Barafeddyg Stephen Bowles a'r criw ambiwlans. Cafodd Stephen ei yrru i Ysbyty Morriston, lle treuliodd bythefnos yn gwella.

Dywedodd Stephen:Mae Stephen yn dweud:
"Cefais fy hysbysu yn ddiweddarach fy mod wedi derbyn CPR rhagorol, a oedd yn hanfodol i fy adferiad. Dechreuodd Chris ac Endaf y broses a achubodd fy mywyd. Byddwn yn annog pawb i ddysgu'r sgiliau achub bywyd hyn."

Yn ddiweddar, trefnodd Achub Bywyd Cymru i Stephen ailgwrdd a rhai o'r bobl a helpodd i achub ei fywyd, ac fe gyflwynodd Dystysgrifau Llongyfarch Gwylwyr i ddangos ei ddiolch.

🫀 Mae'r stori hon yn gyfle i atgoffa pawb y gallant achub bywyd, trwy: Alw 999, dechrau CPR, a defnyddio diffib.

In March 2025, Stephen Booth suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while visiting Carmarthen Job Centre Plus. Without warning, he collapsed and stopped breathing normally.
Thanks to the quick-thinking actions of security officer Chris Manfield and service manager Endaf Davies, Stephen’s life was saved.
Chris had recently completed basic life support training and immediately recognised cardiac arrest. He called 999, started CPR, and asked Endaf to bring the defibrillator. Although Endaf had never used one before, he followed the device’s voice prompts and delivered two shocks — showing just how easy defibrillators are to use.
They continued CPR until Senior Paramedic Stephen Bowles and the ambulance crew arrived. Stephen was taken to Morriston Hospital, where he spent two weeks recovering.
Stephen says:

“I was later told I’d received excellent CPR, which was vital to my recovery. Chris and Endaf truly helped start the process that saved my life. I would encourage everyone to learn these lifesaving skills.”

Recently, Save a Life Cymru reunited Stephen with some of the people who helped save his life, where he presented Bystander Commendation Certificates in heartfelt thanks.
🫀 This story is a powerful reminder:
Calling 999, starting CPR, and using a defibrillator can save a life — anyone can do it.

Every step really did count 👣💙

We’re incredibly proud to share that our team’s fundraising walk along the Llŷn Peninsula has raised over £8,000 for community defibrillators across rural Wales!

From staff to friends and family, so many people came together to take on the 18-mile challenge, all with one goal: helping save lives in our communities. 💪
