Funded by Beacon, a South Wales community housing organisation dedicated to creating better places for people and the planet.
Three day course (over three weeks) for busy local businesses who want to save money, attract more customers, and finally know where to start.
Free expert support (normally £300-£900+) - delivered locally, afterhours, and built for busy business owners.
About this programme
You know you should be doing more to make your business greener…but realistically - when do you actually have time to figure that out?
And even if you did…👉 where would you even start in a way that makes sense for your business - not someone else’s?
That’s exactly why we’ve created this.
This isn’t another workshop full of theory. This is a 3 week, hands-on programme where we do the thinking with you - so you leave with a clear, simple plan that actually works in the real world.
✅ No jargon
✅ No pressure
✅ No unrealistic expectations
Just practical steps that:
- reduce your costs (energy, waste, efficiency)
- help you stand out to customers
- and give you a clear plan you can actually follow
💡 Why this is worth your time (even if you’re busy)
We know most small businesses don’t have time for “extra stuff”.So we’ve built this around real life:
🕕 After hours sessions - no need to close your business
📍 Local to Swansea - quick and easy to attend
💻 Join online or catch the recordings if you miss a session
🧠 We do the heavy lifting with you - you won’t be starting from scratch
Individually, this kind of support would typically cost £300-£900+ and that’s before you even get to tailored advice or marketing support.
Here, it’s all been brought together in one place - locally, and fully funded - bringing together sustainability expertise, marketing advice, and real business support in one place.
🤝 You’re in good hands
This programme is delivered by Welsh ICE, who have supported thousands of businesses across Wales to start and grow - working closely with local communities and partners like Beacon Cymru.
👉 You’ll be supported throughout by a local experienced facilitator and green consultant, who understands the reality of running a small business.
🌿 What you’ll walk away with
✅ A simple, realistic action plan tailored to your business
✅ 2-3 practical changes you can implement immediately
✅ A clear “Green USP” - what makes your business stand out
✅ Confidence in what to say, where to say it, and how to start
✅ New connections with other local businesses (and potential collaborators 👀)
🔥 What makes this different
This isn’t about doing everything. It’s about doing the right things - in a way that fits your business.
And when local businesses come together like this:
- ideas get shared
- effort gets lighter
- and opportunities grow
👉 You won’t just leave with a plan - you’ll leave with momentum.
📅 Programme dates (attend all 3 sessions)
⌚ Thursdays | 6:00pm - 8:30pm
📍 The Environment Centre, Swansea
💻 Online access + recordings available
- Week 1: Where to Start - Making Sustainability Simple
- Week 2: Standing Out - Marketing Your Green Advantage
- Week 3: Action Plan & Connections - Turning Ideas into Action
✅ Access to 1-1 support throughout the 3 weeks with a locally based, green business expert (normally charged separately).
⭐ Why this is a bit of a rare opportunity
Support like this - combining sustainability advice, marketing support and 1-1 input is not something that usually comes together like this locally.
It’s been designed specifically for businesses in this area, at a time where:
- costs are rising
- customers are becoming more conscious
- and small changes can make a real difference
👉 It’s not something we run all the time - and it’s not something that’s usually fully funded.
👥 Who this is for
- Local small businesses, sole traders & independents
- Anyone thinking “I’d like to do better, but don’t know how”
- Business owners who are busy and need something practical
- High street, service, creative, trades - all welcome
💸 Cost
👉 Free for Swansea / local businesses (funded by Beacon Cymru)
A small £5 fee applies for those outside the area to secure your place.
⚠️ Limited spaces (on purpose)
We’re keeping this to a small group (around 15 businesses) so everyone gets real value.👉 No sitting at the back - you’ll be part of it.
🤝 Delivered by
Welsh ICE - supporting local businesses to start and grow. In partnership with Beacon Cymru.
🚀 If you’ve been thinking…
“I should probably look at this at some point…”
👉 This is one of those moments where it’s worth acting on it.
We’ve removed as many barriers as possible: It’s local. It’s after hours. It’s practical. We'll even feed you, so you can lock up shop and head straight over. AND it’s fully funded.
👉 All that’s left is deciding to take the space.
If this has caught your eye, it’s probably for a reason.
Once the 15 places are filled, we won’t be able to add more.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected] or call 02920 140 040.

Gwnewch eich busnes yn fwy gwyrdd (heb y straen) - rhaglen 3 wythnos am ddim
Wedi’i hariannu gan Beacon, sefydliad tai cymunedol yn Ne Cymru sy’n gweithio i greu lleoedd gwell i bobl a’r blaned.
Cwrs dros dri diwrnod (wedi’i ledaenu dros dair wythnos) ar gyfer busnesau lleol prysur sydd eisiau arbed arian, denu mwy o gwsmeriaid, a chael eglurder ynghylch ble i ddechrau.
Cefnogaeth arbenigol am ddim (fel arfer £300-£900+) - yn cael ei darparu’n lleol, y tu allan i oriau gwaith, ac wedi’i chynllunio ar gyfer perchnogion busnes prysur.
Am y rhaglen hon
Rydych chi’n gwybod y dylech chi wneud mwy i wneud eich busnes yn fwy cynaliadwy… ond yn realistig - pryd yn union mae amser gennych chi i roi sylw i hynny?
A hyd yn oed pe bai’r amser gennych… 👉 ble byddech chi’n dechrau mewn ffordd sy’n gwneud synnwyr i’ch busnes chi - nid rhywun arall?
Dyna pam ein bod wedi creu’r rhaglen hon.
Nid gweithdy llawn theori yw hon. Mae’n rhaglen ymarferol dros 3 wythnos lle rydyn ni’n gweithio gyda chi - fel eich bod yn gadael gyda chynllun clir, syml ac ymarferol sy’n gweithio yn y byd go iawn.
✅ Dim jargon
✅ Dim pwysau
✅ Dim disgwyliadau afrealistig
Dim ond camau ymarferol sy’n:
- lleihau eich costau (ynni, gwastraff, effeithlonrwydd)
- eich helpu i sefyll allan i gwsmeriaid
- rhoi cynllun clir i chi y gallwch ei roi ar waith
💡 Pam mae hyn yn werth eich amser (hyd yn oed os ydych yn brysur)
Rydyn ni’n gwybod nad oes gan y rhan fwyaf o fusnesau bach amser ar gyfer “pethau ychwanegol”. Felly mae’r rhaglen wedi’i chynllunio o amgylch bywyd go iawn:
🕕 Sesiynau gyda’r nos - dim angen cau’r busnes
📍 Yn lleol i Abertawe - hawdd ei fynychu
💻 Ymunwch ar-lein neu wylio’r recordiadau os byddwch yn methu sesiwn
🧠 Rydyn ni’n gwneud y gwaith meddwl gyda chi - nid fyddwch chi’n dechrau o'r cychwyn
Fel arfer, byddai’r math hwn o gefnogaeth yn costio £300-£900+ - heb sôn am gyngor wedi’i deilwra neu gymorth marchnata.
Yma, mae popeth wedi’i ddod at ei gilydd mewn un lle - yn lleol, ac wedi’i hariannu’n llawn - gan gyfuno arbenigedd cynaliadwyedd, cyngor marchnata, a chymorth busnes ymarferol.
🤝 Rydych mewn dwylo diogel
Mae’r rhaglen hon yn cael ei chyflwyno gan Welsh ICE, sydd wedi cefnogi miloedd o fusnesau ledled Cymru i ddechrau a thyfu - gan weithio’n agos gyda chymunedau lleol a phartneriaid fel Beacon Cymru.
👉 Byddwch yn cael eich cefnogi drwy gydol y rhaglen gan hwylusydd lleol profiadol ac ymgynghorydd cynaliadwyedd sy’n deall realiti rhedeg busnes bach.
🌿 Beth gewch chi o’r rhaglen
✅ Cynllun gweithredu syml a realistig wedi’i deilwra i’ch busnes
✅ 2-3 newid ymarferol y gallwch eu rhoi ar waith ar unwaith
✅ “USP gwyrdd” clir - beth sy’n gwneud eich busnes yn wahanol
✅ Hyder ynghylch beth i’w ddweud, ble i’w ddweud, a sut i ddechrau
✅ Cysylltiadau newydd gyda busnesau lleol eraill (a chydweithio posibl 👀)
🔥 Beth sy’n gwneud hyn yn wahanol
Nid gwneud popeth yw’r nod. Mae’n ymwneud â gwneud y pethau cywir - mewn ffordd sy’n addas i’ch busnes.
A phan fydd busnesau lleol yn dod at ei gilydd:
- mae syniadau’n cael eu rhannu
- mae’r gwaith yn teimlo’n haws
- ac mae cyfleoedd yn cynyddu
👉 Ni fyddwch yn gadael gyda chynllun yn unig - ond gyda momentwm i symud ymlaen.

⭐ Pam mae hwn yn gyfle prin
Nid yw’n gyffredin cael cefnogaeth sy’n cyfuno cyngor cynaliadwyedd, cymorth marchnata a mewnbwn 121 fel hyn mewn un pecyn lleol.
Mae wedi’i gynllunio’n benodol ar gyfer busnesau yn yr ardal hon, ar adeg pan fo:
- costau’n cynyddu
- cwsmeriaid yn fwy ymwybodol
- a gall newidiadau bach wneud gwahaniaeth mawr
👉 Nid yw’n cael ei redeg yn aml - ac fel arfer nid yw’n cael ei hariannu’n llawn.
👥 Ar gyfer pwy mae’r rhaglen hon
- Busnesau bach lleol, unig fasnachwyr ac annibynnol
- Unrhyw un sy’n meddwl: “Hoffwn wneud yn well, ond ddim yn gwybod sut”

“Dylwn i edrych ar hyn rywbryd…”
👉 Dyma’r amser i weithredu.
Rydyn ni wedi gwneud popeth mor hawdd â phosibl: Mae’n lleol. Mae gyda’r nos. Mae’n ymarferol. Bydd bwyd ar gael hefyd, felly gallwch gau’r busnes a dod yn syth draw. Ac mae’n gwbl wedi’i hariannu.
👉 Yr unig beth sydd ar ôl yw manteisio ar y cyfle.
Os yw hyn wedi dal eich sylw, mae’n debyg bod rheswm.
Pan fydd y 15 lle wedi’u llenwi, ni fydd modd ychwanegu mwy.
