Peak joins the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Kinship Programme
Peak yn ymuno â Rhaglen Kinship Sefydliad Paul Hamlyn
We're pleased to share that Peak is part of the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Kinship Programme - one of eight organisations taking part in a 12-month Test and Learn programme exploring what young people need to create more hopeful futures.
We’re working alongside a further 18 organisations as part of Kinship’s Community of Practice, creating a national network of cultural, civic and social organisations. Read more here. Through Kinship, we’ll be testing what happens when young people are given the space, time and resourcesto ‘dream wildly’, create peer-led structures and collaborate with intergenerational communities. This project will continue our exploration of the radical and imaginative potential of rural spaces.
“Peak can hold a vision of the future when many young people are held in the now by their precarity, whether due to their housing, work, or life generally. Young people are looking for some roots and Peak can offer that, creating a container for the future.” - Izzy, young artist and facilitator
Across 2026-27, we’re handing over Platfform 2, Peak’s spaces at Y Fenni Station, to a group of young people, aged 16-30 years. Supported by artist and facilitator Cerian Hedd, they will work with a dedicated budget, and programme peer visits, workshops and training towards creating their own community space. The project will by shaped by the group’s experiences, dreams and urgent questions and early ideas include developing community print and radio facilities as tools for community learning, storytelling and organising.
Young People have told us that they want to be in ‘groups and spaces to imagine wildly’, have access to different and expansive knowledges, and greater confidence in using creative tools and practices to build more hopeful and equitable communities. We’re excited to test this through Kinship, creating spaces in rural Wales that are led by Young People and build on radical local histories to explore 'the now and not yet’.

Rydym yn falch o rannu’r newyddion fod Peak yn rhan o Raglen Kinship Sefydliad Paul Hamlyn – mae Peak yn un o wyth sefydliad sy’n cymryd rhan mewn rhaglen Profi a Dysgu 12 mis fydd yn archwilio’r hyn sydd ei angen ar bobl ifanc er mwyn creu dyfodolau mwy gobeithiol. Rydym yn gweithio ar y cyd â 18 sefydliad arall fel rhan o Gymuned Arfer Kinship, gan greu rhwydwaith genedlaethol o sefydliadau diwylliannol, sifig a chymdeithasol. Darllenwch ragor yma.
Drwy Kinship, byddwn yn profi’r hyn sy’n digwydd pan fyddwn yn cynnig gofod, amser ac adnoddau i bobl ifanc er mwyn ‘breuddwydio’n ddibendraw’, drwy gyd-greu strwythurau gyda’u cyfoedion, a chydweithio gyda chymunedau o bob oedran. Bydd y project hwn yn parhau â’n harchwiliad o’r potensial radical a dychmygus sy’n perthyn i ofodau gwledig.
“Peak can hold a vision of the future when many young people are held in the now by their precarity, whether due to their housing, work, or life generally. Young people are looking for some roots and Peak can offer that, creating a container for the future.” - Izzy, artist ifanc a hwylusydd
Yn ystod 2026-27, pobl ifanc rhwng 16-30 oed fydd wrth y llyw ar Blatfform 2, ein gofod yng Ngorsaf Drenau’r Fenni. Wedi eu cefnogi gan Cerian Hedd, byddant yn gweithio gyda chyllideb benodedig, gan raglennu ymweliadau gan gyfoedion, gweithdai a hyfforddiant er mwyn creu eu gofod cymunedol eu hunain. Caiff y project ei arwain gan brofiadau, breuddwydion a chwestiynau brys y grŵp, ac mae syniadau cychwynnol yn cynnwys datblygu adnoddau argraffu a radio cymunedol er mwyn annog addysgu cymunedol, adrodd straeon a chyd-drefnu.
Mae Pobl Ifanc wedi dweud wrthom ni eu bod yn awyddus i fod mewn ‘grwpiau a gofodau sy’n caniatáu dychymyg dibendraw’, cael mynediad at wahanol fathau o wybodaeth ac ehangder gwybodaeth, a datblygu eu hyder wrth ddefnyddio offer ac arferion creadigol er mwyn adeiladu cymunedau mwy gobeithiol a hafal. Rydym yn gyffrous i allu profi hyn drwy Kinship, gan greu gofodau yn y Gymru wledig sydd wedi eu harwain gan Bobl Ifanc, a datblygu hanesion radical lleol er mwyn archwilio’r ‘nawr a’r dim eto’.
