Benthyciadau carlam mewn argyfwng / Emergency fast-track loans

Benthyciadau carlam mewn argyfwng i fudiadau’r sector gwirfoddol yng Nghymru i’w helpu drwy effeithiau gwaethaf llifogydd a’r Coronafeirws.

Mewn ymateb i hyn, mae Buddsoddiad Cymdeithasol Cymru CGGC yn cynnig benthyciadau carlam mewn argyfwng i fudiadau’r sector gwirfoddol yng Nghymru i’w helpu drwy’r effeithiau gwaethaf.

Ar yr un pryd, mae’r rheini â benthyciad eisoes yn cael cynnig yr opsiwn o ohirio taliadau am gyfnod.

Benthyciadau carlam mewn argyfwng

Bydd y benthyciadau’n cael eu teilwra i anghenion unigol pob ymgeisydd o ran swm, cyfnod a phroffil ad-dalu. Maen nhw’n dechrau gyda dalen wag – beth sydd ei angen arnoch? Beth sy’n eich siwtio orau o ran cyfnodau neu ad-daliadau?

Sylweddolir bod cyflymder y broses benderfynu a chyflymder y cyllid sydd ar gael yn hollbwysig, fel y gall mudiadau ymateb yn gyflym wrth i bethau ddatblygu. Felly, rydyn ni am leihau’r broses ymgeisio cymaint â phosibl. Bydd hyn yn golygu y bydd y mwyafrif o fudiadau a gymeradwyir yn gweld yr arian yn eu cyfrifon banc o fewn saith niwrnod i gyflwyno ffurflen gais gyflawn (yn unol â chael llofnod ar ddogfennaeth yn brydlon)

Dyma’r meini prawf cymhwyso: –

• Menter gymdeithasol gorfforaethol neu elusen sydd wedi’i leoli yng Nghymru
• Effaith y gellir ei dangos ar lif arian yn sgil y llifogydd neu’r Coronafeirws
• Angen cael asedau newydd am eu bod wedi’u difrodi mewn llifogydd

Gellir defnyddio’r arian ar gyfer y canlynol: –

·       Cefnogi’r llif arian

·       Prynu asedau newydd yn lle’r hen rai

·       Pontio hawliadau yswiriant a dderbynnir

WCVA are offering emergency fast-track loans to voluntary sector organisations in Wales to help see them through the effects of coronavirus and recent flooding.

In response to this, [http://social%20investment%20cymru/]Social Investment Cymru at WCVA is offering emergency fast-track loans to voluntary sector organisations in Wales to help see them through the worst of the effects.

At the same time, existing loan holders are being offered the option to defer payments for a time.

Emergency fast-track loans

Loans will be tailored to each applicant’s individual needs in terms of amount, term and repayment profile. They start with a blank piece of paper – what do you need? What best suits you in terms or repayments?

We recognise that speed of decision making and speed of availability of funds are paramount, so that organisations can react quickly as events unfold. We are therefore reducing the application process to its bare minimum. This will mean that the majority of organisations being approved will see money in their bank accounts within 7 days of submitting a completed application (subject to prompt signature of documentation)

Eligibility criteria are: –

• Incorporated social enterprise or charity based in Wales
• Demonstrable effect on cash flow from flooding or Coronavirus
• Need to replace assets damaged in flooding

Money can be used for: –

• Support for cash flow
• Purchase of replacement assets
• Bridging of receipt of insurance claims

BEWARE OF COVID-19 SCAMS

BEWARE OF COVID-19 SCAMS

Unscrupulous criminals are exploiting fears about COVID-19 to prey on members of the public, particularly older and vulnerable people who are isolated from family and friends. National Trading Standards is warning people to remain vigilant following a rise in coronavirus-related scams that seek to benefit from the public’s concern and uncertainty over COVID-19.

Members of the public should ignore scam products such as supplements and anti-virus kits that falsely claim to cure or prevent COVID-19. In some cases individuals may be pressurised on their own doorsteps to buy anti-virus kits or persuaded into purchasing products that are advertised on their social media feeds. In addition, some call centres that previously targeted UK consumers with dubious health products are now offering supplements that supposedly prevent COVID-19.

Communities are also being urged to look out for signs of neighbours being targeted by doorstep criminals. While there are genuine groups of volunteers providing help during self-isolation, there have been reports of criminals preying on residents – often older people or people living with long-term health conditions – by cold-calling at their homes and offering to go to the shops for them. The criminals often claim to represent charities to help them appear legitimate before taking the victim’s money. There are genuine charities providing support, so consumers should be vigilant and ask for ID from anyone claiming to represent a charity.

COVID-19 scams identified include:
Doorstep crime

• Criminals targeting older people on their doorstep and offering to do their shopping. Thieves take the money and do not return.
• Doorstep cleansing services that offer to clean drives and doorways to kill bacteria and help prevent the spread of the virus.

Online scams

• Email scams that trick people into opening malicious attachments, which put people at risk of identity theft with personal information, passwords, contacts and bank details at risk. Some of these emails have lured people to click on attachments by offering information about people in the local area who are affected by coronavirus.
• Fake online resources – such as false Coronavirus Maps – that deliver malware such as AZORult Trojan, an information stealing program which can infiltrate a variety of sensitive data. A prominent example that has deployed malware is ‘corona-virus-map[dot]com’.

Refund scams

• Companies offering fake holiday refunds for individuals who have been forced to cancel their trips. People seeking refunds should also be wary of fake websites set up to claim holiday refunds.

Counterfeit goods

• Fake sanitisers, face masks and Covid19 swabbing kits sold online and door-to-door. These products can often be dangerous and unsafe. There are reports of some potentially harmful hand sanitiser containing glutaral (or glutaraldehyde), which was banned for human use in 2014.

Telephone scams

• As more people self-isolate at home there is an increasing risk that telephone scams will also rise, including criminals claiming to be your bank, mortgage lender or utility company.

Donation scams

• There have been reports of thieves extorting money from consumers by claiming they are collecting donations for a COVID-19 ‘vaccine’.

Loan sharks

• Illegal money lenders are expected to prey on people’s financial hardship, lending money before charging extortionate interest rates and fees through threats and violence

People are being encouraged to protect their neighbours by joining Friends Against Scams, which provides free online training to empower people to take a stand against scams. To complete the online modules, visit www.friendsagainstscams.org.uk.

NTS is also issuing urgent advice to help prevent people falling victim to COVID-19 scams through its Friends Against Scams initiative.

Members of the public are being urged to keep in contact with family members regularly and inform them of the most prolific scams and the possible dangers to them. If someone has been targeted by a scam it can be reported to Action Fraud online at www.actionfraud.police.uk/ or by calling 0300 123 2040. For advice and information on how to check if something might be a scam, visit: www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/scams/check-if-something-might-be-a-scam/.
