Glasbren is a non-profit, Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) project based at Parc yr Arglwydd | Lords Park farm in Llansteffan, southwest Carmarthenshire, Wales. Established as a Community-Interest Company in 2019, we have been producing agroecological vegetables for our CSA membership, welcoming volunteers and running courses, workshops and seasonal events for six years. Through the pandemic and cost-of-living crisis, we explored solidarity models to make our food accessible to low-income, food insecure households. We built an engaged community of practice, a supportive following and a committed veg box membership.

We have witnessed first hand over the last six years the power of volunteering for instilling a sense of purpose, wellbeing, belonging, positive climate action and to breathe new life into our relationship with the living world. Volunteering is a powerful vehicle for learning, knowledge exchange and for connecting people in cohesive communities of practice. It is a route to mental health and physical healing, greater confidence and employability and positive purpose in an uncertain and challenging world. We align with Welsh government goals of increasing participation in volunteering, improving the quality of volunteer opportunities, and raising the profile of volunteering in Wales. Volunteering is the very heart of Glasbren.

In 2023, we were selected as the new tenants of the 134-acre National Trust farm, Parc yr Arglwydd | Lords Park farm, with a mandate to work for nature, people, planet, and on the strength of a vision for how we could grow the work we’ve been doing the past five years - feeding more people, stewarding more land for nature and unlocking the potential of farms like this for community-scale climate action, building community and reconnecting to food, land and culture.

We are now looking for a Volunteer Coordinator to be a part of our mission.

Mae Glasbren yn brosiect amaethyddiaeth a gefnogir gan y gymuned (CSA) dielw wedi’i leoli ym Mharc yr Arglwydd | fferm Lords Park yn Llansteffan, de-orllewin Sir Gâr. Wedi’i sefydlu fel Cwmni Buddiannau Cymunedol yn 2019, rydym wedi bod yn cynhyrchu llysiau agroecolegol ar gyfer ein haelodaeth CSA, croesawu gwirfoddolwyr a chynnal cyrsiau, gweithdai a digwyddiadau tymhorol ers chwe blynedd. Trwy’r pandemig a’r argyfwng costau byw, fe wnaethom archwilio modelau undod i sicrhau bod ein bwyd yn hygyrch i aelwydydd incwm isel neu sydd mewn ansicrwydd bwyd. Rydym wedi meithrin cymuned ymarfer ymroddedig, dilyniant cefnogol ac aelodaeth focsys llysiau ffyddlon.

Rydym wedi gweld dros y chwe blynedd ddiwethaf rym gwirfoddoli o ran rhoi pwrpas, lles, perthyn, gweithredu cadarnhaol dros y hinsawdd ac ailfywio ein perthynas â’r byd naturiol. Mae gwirfoddoli’n gyfrwng pwerus ar gyfer dysgu, cyfnewid gwybodaeth a chysylltu pobl mewn cymunedau cydlynol o ymarfer. Mae’n llwybr tuag at iachâd corfforol a meddyliol, hyder, cyflogadwyedd a phwrpas cadarnhaol mewn byd ansicr a heriol. Rydym yn cyd-fynd â nodau Llywodraeth Cymru i gynyddu cyfranogiad mewn gwirfoddoli, gwella ansawdd cyfleoedd gwirfoddoli, a chodi proffil gwirfoddoli yng Nghymru. Gwirfoddoli yw calon Glasbren.

Yn 2023, fe’n dewiswyd yn denantiaid newydd y fferm 134-erw ymddiriedolaeth y National Trust, Parc yr Arglwydd | Lords Park, gyda mandat i weithio er budd natur, pobl a’r blaned, ac ar sail gweledigaeth o sut y gallem dyfu’r gwaith rydyn ni wedi’i wneud dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf – bwydo mwy o bobl, rheoli mwy o dir er budd natur ac agor potensial ffermydd fel hyn ar gyfer gweithredu hinsawdd ar raddfa gymunedol, adeiladu cymuned a hailgysylltu â bwyd, tir a diwylliant.

Rydym bellach yn chwilio am Gydlynydd Gwirfoddolwyr i ymuno â’n cenhadaeth.

Byddwch yn ymuno â ni yn y blynyddoedd cynnar o bennod newydd gyffrous i Glasbren, gyda’r cyfle i dyfu ein cynnig i wirfoddolwyr a rhyddhau potensial estynedig y safle newydd hwn.
