Ty Robin offers nurturing short breaks for disabled children and young people aged 6–17 in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Vale of Glamorgan Short Breaks (known locally as Ty Robin) offers short breaks to children and young people with additional needs; between the ages of 6 and 17. In addition, we provide community sessions and Domiciliary Care.
We strive to be a home away from home and to offer opportunities to build friendships and independence.
We are regulated by Care Inspectorate Wales and work with the Child Health and Disability Team in Social Services to identify children and families who would benefit from our support.
How to access the service
Referrals are made by the child’s social worker and must include a care and support plan.

Nod Seibiannau Byr y Fro yw cyfoethogi profiadau bywyd plant a phobl ifanc anabl drwy gynnig pob math o gyfleoedd dysgu a chwarae, a’r rheini wedi'u teilwra’n arbennig i anghenion yr unigolyn.
Bydd modd i rieni a gofalwyr hefyd gael seibiant oddi wrth eu cyfrifoldebau gofalu tra mae’r plant yn y gwasanaeth.
Gall plant a phobl ifanc ddechrau aros yn Tŷ Robin Goch pan maent yn chwech oed, hyd at eu pen-blwydd yn 18 oed, er mwyn iddyn nhw gael gwyliau o safon o’u cartref, ac er mwyn i’w teulu gael seibiant haeddiannol.
Mae gan lawer o’r plant a gefnogwn nifer helaeth o anghenion, a’r rheini’n rhai cymhleth iawn, ac mae chwarae yn yr awyr agored yn fanteisiol i’w hiechyd, eu lles a’u datblygiad. Mae’r ardd a’r ystafell synhwyraidd sydd wedi’u creu’n ddiweddar yn Tŷ Robin yn fan diogel i blant chwarae, ac yn ffordd o helpu i ddatblygu amrywiaeth o sgiliau, fel rhyngweithio cymdeithasol a chydsymud rhwng y llaw a’r llygad.
