Here in Torfaen we have three 50+ Forums. Meeting in Blaenavon, Pontypool and Cwmbran, each forum meets monthly to hear about the ever-evolving world of public services and our efforts to adapt to these kind of societal changes, helping Torfaen Council and other public service partners shape services so they work for everyone.

Mae pobl yn byw’n hirach ac mae amcanestyniadau poblogaeth yn dweud wrthym y disgwylir i’r canran o bobl 65 oed a throsodd sy’n byw yn Nhorfaen godi o 20.1% yn 2016 i 28.3% erbyn 2039.
Yma yn Nhorfaen mae gennym dri Fforwm 50+. Gan gyfarfod ym Mlaenafon, Pont-y-pŵl a Chwmbrân, mae pob fforwm yn cyfarfod bob mis i glywed am maes gwasanaethau cyhoeddus sy’n newid drwy’r amser a’n hymdrechion i addasu i’r newidiadau cymdeithasol hyn, gan helpu Cyngor Torfaen a phartneriaid gwasanaethau cyhoeddus eraill i lunio gwasanaethau fel eu bod yn gweithio i bawb.
