Loneliness Awareness Week 2025 takes place from 9th-15th June, presenting a valuable opportunity to address the growing concern of loneliness.

Mae Wythnos Ymwybyddiaeth Unigrwydd 2025 yn digwydd rhwng y 9fed a’r 15fed o Fehefin, gan gynnig cyfle gwerthfawr i fynd i’r afael â’r pryder cynyddol am unigrwydd. Mae’r thema eleni, “Cwrdd âg Unigrwydd gyda’n gilydd”, yn pwysleisio ar leihau’r stigma o amgylch yr emosiwn dynol naturiol hwn ac yn annog ymdrechion cyfunol i feithrin cysylltiadau.
