Diogelwch yn Gyntaf, Diogelwch Bob Amser
Mae Gwasanaeth Ieuenctid Caerffili yn dod at ei gilydd i ledaenu'r neges am gadw'n ddiogel dros Galan Gaeaf a Noson Tân Gwyllt!

Edrychwch ar y ffilm fer hon a grëwyd gan bobl ifanc, sy'n rhannu negeseuon diogelwch pwysig cyn y dathliadau.
Bydd pobl ifanc ar draws ein gwasanaeth ieuenctid hefyd yn cymryd rhan mewn cwisiau diogelwch ar-lein, gan roi eu gwybodaeth ar brawf am gyfle i gael eu cynnwys mewn raffl wobrau!

Gadewch i ni wneud Calan Gaeaf a Noson Tân Gwyllt eleni yn hwyl, yn gofiadwy ac yn DDIOGEL i bawb!

Mae bandiau ar gyfer yr ymgyrch 'Diogelwch yn Gyntaf, Diogelwch Bob Amser' ar gael am ddim yn eich canolfan neu brosiect ieuenctid lleol!
