Job description

About the Programme 

The local food partnerships in Bridgend, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taf and the Vale of Glamorgan are collaborating on a project to scale-up a year-long, place-based food literacy programme developed by Slade Farm’s Fieldwork Studio CIC. This evaluation period will run from Sept 2026-March 2027. 

Beyond funding a series of school visits to farms, the programme aims to develop a deeper and more connected model of food, farming and outdoor learning rooted in place, relationships and long-term community benefits. Alongside direct, repeated pupil engagement throughout the year, the programme includes strands focused on a mentoring pathway for other local growers wishing to trial this methodology, school leadership support and investment in practical infrastructure that can support future delivery and regional capacity. We also anticipate that it will provide a practice-informed interface for policy and commissioning partners.

Rather than evaluating a series of isolated activities, the programme aims to understand how these interconnected elements contribute to a wider model of food literacy infrastructure and what lessons can inform future policy and investment in Wales.

We are now calling for applications for an external partner to support with monitoring and evaluation of the project.

Ynglŷn â'r Rhaglen 

Mae'r partneriaethau bwyd lleol ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr, Casnewydd, Rhondda Cynon Taf a Bro Morgannwg yn cydweithio ar brosiect i ehangu rhaglen llythrennedd bwyd sy'n seiliedig ar le, sy'n para blwyddyn ac a ddatblygwyd gan CIC Fieldwork Studio Fferm Slade. Bydd y cyfnod gwerthuso hwn yn rhedeg o fis Medi 2026 hyd fis Mawrth 2027. 

Y tu hwnt i ariannu cyfres o ymweliadau ysgol â ffermydd, nod y rhaglen yw datblygu model dyfnach a mwy cysylltiedig o fwyd, ffermio a dysgu yn yr awyr agored sydd wedi'i wreiddio mewn lle, cydberthnasau a manteision cymunedol hirdymor. Ochr yn ochr ag ymgysylltiad uniongyrchol, dro ar ôl tro â disgyblion drwy gydol y flwyddyn, mae'r rhaglen yn cynnwys elfennau sy'n canolbwyntio ar lwybr mentora ar gyfer tyfwyr lleol eraill sy'n dymuno rhoi cynnig ar y fethodoleg hon, cefnogaeth ar gyfer arweinyddiaeth ysgolion a buddsoddiad mewn seilwaith ymarferol a all gefnogi darpariaeth yn y dyfodol a chapasiti rhanbarthol. Rydym hefyd yn rhagweld y bydd yn darparu rhyngwyneb sy'n seiliedig ar ymarfer ar gyfer partneriaid polisi a chomisiynu.

Yn hytrach na gwerthuso cyfres o weithgareddau ynysig, nod y rhaglen yw deall sut mae'r elfennau cydgysylltiedig hyn yn cyfrannu at fodel ehangach o seilwaith llythrennedd bwyd a pha wersi all lywio polisi a buddsoddiad yn y dyfodol yng Nghymru.

Rydym nawr yn galw am geisiadau ar gyfer partner allanol i helpu i fonitro a gwerthuso'r prosiect.
