As you may or may not know, due to multiple lockdowns, we were forced to pause our physical project at Ruthin Market Hall, and jump into the digital world to support our Foundational Economy Project. We realise it's been a hugely challenging 12 months for businesses in North Wales, so the work we are doing building the Change Makers platform, offering an abundance of training with our Academi and networking opportunities, will offer the independent business community a degree of uplift and maybe for some people the inspiration to explore and start a business of their own.

Fel y gwyddoch oherwydd y cyfyngiadau fe'n gorfodwyd i oedi ein prosiect corfforol yn Neuadd y Farchnad Rhuthun, a neidio i'r byd digidol i gefnogi ein Prosiect Economi Sylfaenol. Rydym yn sylweddoli ei bod wedi bod yn 12 mis hynod heriol i fusnesau yng Ngogledd Cymru, felly bydd y gwaith rydym yn ei wneud yn adeiladu platfform Change Makers, gan gynnig digonedd o hyfforddiant gyda'n Academi a chyfleoedd rhwydweithio, yn cynnig rhywfaint o ymgodiad i'r gymuned fusnes annibynnol ac efallai i rai pobl yr ysbrydoliaeth i archwilio a dechrau busnes eu hunain.

The Covid-19 pandemic meant businesses were forced to adapt in order to survive. This resulted in many taking their businesses online, and embracing digital technology to ensure customer retention, offering alternative ways to purchase and receive goods and services. Enhancing the digital offer, has also enabled business growth in many cases.
