Dywedodd Hazel Davies, Swyddog Prosiect Rooms4U Cymdeithas Tai Newydd, "Rwyf wrth fy modd fod Rooms4U wedi ennill Gwobr Pat Chown. Mae'n rhoi croen gwydd i chi pan mae tenant ifanc yn dweud wrthych ei fod yn arfer yfed bob dydd, yn isel ei ysbryd a hyd yn oed wedi meddwl am ladd ei hunan, ond ei fod yn awr yn teimlo'n wych gan fod ganddo gartref sefydlog gyda phobl o'r un anian lle mae'n gynnes, yn bwyta'n dda a hyd yn oed wedi dechrau chwilio am swydd. Mae Rooms4U, a gynhelir gan Gymdeithas Tai Newydd, yn dangos pa mor bwysig yw hi i gefnogi pobl ifanc drwy gyfnod anodd. Mae cynnig tai rhannu i bobl dan 35 oed yn rhoi sicrwydd amgylchedd diogel, gwella iechyd meddwl a pharodrwydd i ymgysylltu gyda gwasanaethau cefnogaeth lleol. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weld sut bydd y prosiect yn datblygu dros y misoedd nesaf gan ein bod hefyd yn anelu i weithio gyda'r sector rhent preifat. Hoffwn ddiolch i Crisis UK am gyllido Rooms4U, ein partneriaid prosiect a Chyngor Bro Morgannwg am eu cefnogaeth barhaus. Aiff y wobr o £1,000 at Fanc Bwyd y Fro yn y Barri i helpu pobl mewn anhawster ariannol."

Hazel Davies, Newydd Housing Association’s Rooms4U Project Officer, said, “I am over the moon that Rooms4U has won the prestigious Pat Chown Award. When a young tenant tells you that he used to drink daily, was depressed and even thought about taking his own life, but now feels great, as he has a stable home with like-minded people where he is warm, eating well and has even started job hunting, this certainly gives you goose bumps. Rooms4U, hosted by Newydd Housing Association, is demonstrating how important it is to support young people through a difficult time. Offering shared housing to people under the age of 35 not only provides a safe and secure environment but also leads to employment, improved mental health and a willingness to engage with local support services. I am excited to see how the project will develop over the coming months as we aim to also work with the private rented sector. I would like to thank Crisis UK for funding Rooms4U, our project partners and the Vale of Glamorgan Council for their continued support. The £1,000 prize will go towards the Vale Foodbank in Barry to help people should they find themselves in financial difficulty.”
