Rydym yn pryderu nad yw’r effaith ar bobl ag anabledd dysgu yn cael ei hystyried pan mae lleoliadau’n gwrthod derbyn arian parod.
Dyma ein Cyfarwyddwr, Wayne, yn esbonio pam ei bod mor bwysig nad yw pobl ag anabledd dysgu yn cael eu hallgáu o fewn lleoliadau yn eu cymuned👇
💬"Our concern is that people with a learning disability are being excluded from the spaces they go to feel part of their communities."
Wayne Crocker, Director of @MencapCymru, gave evidence to the Treasury Select Committee's inquiry into the acceptance of cash👇
We are concerned that the impact on people with a learning disability is not considered when venues refuse to accept cash payments.
Hear from our Director, Wayne, about why it is so important that people with a learning disability are not excluded when accessing local venues 👇

Today I made a promise that as long as I’m in the Senedd, I will not stop campaigning for the #StolenLives – those people with learning disabilities and autistic people who are inappropriately detained in secure mental health settings against their human rights.
Diolch @Dawn26467771 and members of the Stolen Lives group for their continuous work in highlighting this scandal.
A hospital is not a home.
