Gwyliau Cyntaf Rhys mewn Dros 10 Mlynedd – Cyflawniad Arbennig Iawn
Eleni, cyflawnodd Rhys un o’i ganlyniadau personol mwyaf ystyrlon hyd yma – mynd ar ei wyliau cyntaf mewn dros 10 mlynedd.
Gan wybod cymaint mae Rhys yn caru carafanau ac yn cofio’r atgofion hyfryd a rannodd gyda’i fam ar wyliau pan oedd yn blentyn, trefnodd Caitlin, aelod o’r tîm cefnogi, daith syrpreis arbennig iddo. Dewiswyd Golden Sands yn y Rhyl yn ofalus gan ei bod yn ddigon agos i’w gartref i roi ymdeimlad o sicrwydd a chyfarwyddyd iddo, tra hefyd yn caniatáu i’w deulu ymweld a threulio amser gwerthfawr gydag ef.
Pan gafodd Rhys wybod am y syrpreis y bore hwnnw, roedd ei ymateb yn amhrisiadwy. Goleuodd ei wên yr ystafell gyfan, ac roedd ei gyffro a’i lawenydd yn amlwg i bawb o’i gwmpas. Roedd hon yn llawer mwy na gwyliau – roedd yn gyfle i ailgysylltu ag atgofion hapus, profi pethau newydd, a mwynhau rhywbeth nad oedd wedi’i wneud ers blynyddoedd lawer.
Yn ystod ei arhosiad, mwynhaodd Rhys bob eiliad. Ymlaciodd yn y twb poeth gyda’i chwaer a’r staff, aeth am droeon hamddenol, ymwelodd â’r adloniannau lleol, a threuliodd amser heddychlon yn y garafán yr oedd yn ei charu gymaint.
Mae’r stori hon yn enghraifft ragorol o gymryd risgiau cadarnhaol a chefnogaeth sy’n canolbwyntio ar yr unigolyn. Trwy gynllunio gofalus, hyder, a chred yng nghryfderau Rhys, llwyddodd i gyflawni rhywbeth a oedd yn golygu’r byd iddo. Mae’n dangos beth sy’n bosibl pan fo pobl yn cael eu cefnogi i ddilyn eu breuddwydion a chyflawni’r pethau sydd wir yn bwysig iddynt.
Yn bwysicaf oll, daeth Rhys adref gyda mwy na lluniau a straeon i’w rhannu. Daeth adref gyda hyder newydd, ymdeimlad o gyflawniad, ac atgofion gwerthfawr a fydd yn para am flynyddoedd. Roedd y daith hon yn brawf nad yw byth yn rhy hwyr i greu profiadau newydd a byw bywyd llawn o lawenydd.
Gobeithiwn mai dyma’r cyntaf o lawer o anturiaethau newydd i Rhys, gan greu mwy o atgofion arbennig a mwy o gyfleoedd i fyw’r bywyd y mae’n ei ddewis ac yn ei haeddu.
A Life-Changing Holiday and a Memory Rekindled
This year, Rhys achieved one of his most significant personal outcomes yet – going on his first holiday in over ten years.
Knowing how much Rhys loves caravans and remembering the happy holidays he enjoyed with his mum as a child, support worker Caitlin secretly planned a surprise trip for him to Golden Sands in Rhyl. The location was chosen carefully; it was close enough to home to feel safe and familiar while also allowing Rhys's family to visit and share part of this special experience with him.
When Rhys was told about the surprise on the morning of the trip, his reaction was unforgettable. His face lit up with the biggest smile, and his excitement filled the room. It was clear that this was much more than a holiday—it was the opportunity to reconnect with cherished memories, experience new adventures, and enjoy something he had not had the chance to do for many years.
During his stay, Rhys embraced every moment. He relaxed in the hot tub with staff and his sister, enjoyed walks by the coast, visited local amusements, and spent time simply unwinding in the caravan—something that brought him immense comfort and happiness.
This was positive risk-taking at its very best. With careful planning, encouragement, and person-centred support, Rhys was able to achieve something many might take for granted but which represented a huge milestone in his life. The trip demonstrated how meaningful outcomes can be achieved when people are supported to pursue what truly matters to them.
Most importantly, Rhys returned home with treasured memories, renewed confidence, and a sense of achievement. His holiday was not just a few days away—it was a reminder that dreams and aspirations do not have an expiry date. Hopefully, this is the first of many adventures to come, creating even more opportunities for Rhys to enjoy life, build memories with those he loves, and continue achieving the outcomes that matter most to him.
