Amdanom Ni
Dechreuodd y cysyniad am Angor dros 15 mlynedd yn ôl pan ddaeth e'n amlwg bod angen gwirioneddol am wasanaeth cefnogol yma yn Sir Gâr ar gyfer unigolion cafodd ddeiagnosis o ganser neu afiechyd sy'n newid bywyd Angor started over 15 years ago when it became apparent that there is a real need for a support service in Carmarthenshire for individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer or a life-altering diagnosis.
Angor is a charity made up of like-minded individuals from various walks of life who understand the impact that a life altering diagnosis can cause, and who aspire to enable and support the transformation of individuals by providing an informed and holistic service which builds hope and strength. Providing a pathway from clinical services back to the community.
Y Tim tu ol i Angor : Anita Maria Huws, Ian Rees, Derith Powell, Gwenda Davies
Owen, Jayne Daniels, Deris Williams, Kathryn Devonald Davies and Judith Perry.
Credwn fod:
- Gwrthdrawiad canser yn fwy na corfforol yn unig. Mae angen gorolwg holistig ar gyfer adferiad
- Mae adferiad yn gofyn am ystyried gofynion y person yn gyfan; meddwl, corff, ysbryd ac emosiynau
- Dylai cefnogaeth Ymarferol ac Emosiynol fod ar gael yn rhydd ac am ddim ar gyfer pobl sydd wedi eu deiagnosio â chanser neu afiechyd sy'n cyfyngu bywyd
