Future Founders Caerphilly: Turn Your Idea into Something Real ✨
Ar gyfer y disgrifiad Cymraeg, sgroliwch i lawr.
Got an idea you keep thinking about?
Maybe you make things, design, cook, create content, fix things, sell online or have a skill that other people find useful. Perhaps you have already started a side hustle, or you are simply curious about working for yourself.
You do not need to think of yourself as a business owner. You do not need a business plan or a fully formed idea.
Future Founders is a free, friendly and practical workshop for young adults aged 18-24 who would like to explore self-employment, freelancing or turning an idea into something real.
📅 Thursday 24 September 2026
⏰ 3pm-6pm
📍 Twyn Community Centre, Caerphilly town centre
What to expect
The workshop will be led by Emily Hicks, with support and advice available from 12 organisations that help young people and new businesses.
This is not a formal classroom session. There will be no long lectures, no pressure to pitch your idea and no expectation that you already have everything worked out.
Instead, you will have the chance to:
✨ Explore the skills, interests and ideas you already have
✨ Work out whether an idea could become a product, service or side hustle
✨ Understand what people might pay for and why
✨ Learn simple, low-risk ways to test an idea
✨ Build confidence in talking about what you want to do
✨ Find out about local advice, opportunities and support
✨ Decide on one realistic next step
You will be able to ask questions and speak to the organisations that are most relevant to you. You will not be expected to speak to everyone or have a polished idea ready.
Is this session for me?
Future Founders could be for you if:
- You have an idea but do not know where to begin
- You have a hobby or skill that you might be able to earn from
- You have started selling something or offering a service and want some direction
- You are interested in freelancing or self-employment
- You would like to explore your options without committing to starting a business
- You want to meet people who can help you take the next step
You are welcome to bring a trusted person, support worker or someone who helps you feel more comfortable.
Optional Next Steps session
After Future Founders, you are also welcome to stay for our Next Steps event from 6pm-8pm.
This informal follow-on session will bring together experts and support organisations who can offer advice and direction. You can ask questions, explore the support available and identify who might be able to help you next.
By the end of Future Founders, we hope you will leave with more confidence, a clearer sense of what might be possible and one practical action you can take.
You do not need all the answers. You just need an idea, skill or spark that you would like to explore.
Places are limited, so book your free place today.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected] or call 02920 140 040.

Sylfaenwyr y Dyfodol Caerffili: Trowch eich syniad yn rhywbeth go iawn ✨
Oes gennych chi syniad sy’n dal i fynd drwy’ch pen?
Efallai eich bod yn gwneud pethau, dylunio, coginio, creu cynnwys, trwsio pethau, gwerthu ar-lein neu fod gennych sgil y mae pobl eraill yn ei gwerthfawrogi. Efallai eich bod eisoes wedi dechrau menter fach ochr yn ochr â phethau eraill, neu eich bod yn chwilfrydig am weithio i chi eich hun.
Does dim rhaid i chi ystyried eich hun yn berchennog busnes. Does dim angen cynllun busnes na syniad sydd wedi’i ddatblygu’n llawn.
Mae Sylfaenwyr y Dyfodol yn weithdy rhad ac am ddim, cyfeillgar ac ymarferol ar gyfer pobl ifanc rhwng 18 a 24 oed sydd eisiau archwilio hunangyflogaeth, gweithio’n llawrydd neu droi syniad yn rhywbeth go iawn.
📅 Dydd Iau 24 Medi 2026
⏰ 3yp-6yp
📍 Canolfan Gymunedol Twyn, canol tref Caerffili
Beth i’w ddisgwyl
Bydd y gweithdy yn cael ei arwain gan Emily Hicks, gyda chefnogaeth a chyngor ar gael gan 12 o sefydliadau sy’n helpu pobl ifanc a busnesau newydd.
Nid sesiwn ystafell ddosbarth ffurfiol fydd hon. Fydd dim darlithoedd hir, dim pwysau i gyflwyno eich syniad a dim disgwyl i chi fod wedi gweithio popeth allan yn barod.
Yn hytrach, bydd cyfle i chi:
✨ Archwilio’r sgiliau, diddordebau a syniadau sydd gennych eisoes
✨ Darganfod a allai syniad droi’n gynnyrch, gwasanaeth neu fenter ochr yn ochr â phethau eraill
✨ Deall beth y gallai pobl fod yn fodlon talu amdano a pham
✨ Dysgu ffyrdd syml, risg isel o brofi syniad
✨ Meithrin hyder wrth siarad am yr hyn yr hoffech ei wneud
✨ Dysgu am gyngor, cyfleoedd a chymorth lleol
✨ Penderfynu ar un cam nesaf realistig
Bydd cyfle i ofyn cwestiynau a siarad â’r sefydliadau sydd fwyaf perthnasol i chi. Fydd dim disgwyl i chi siarad â phawb na chael syniad perffaith yn barod.
A yw sesiwn hon un i mi?
Gallai Sylfaenwyr y Dyfodol fod yn addas i chi os:
- Mae gennych syniad ond ddim yn gwybod ble i ddechrau
- Mae gennych hobi neu sgil y gallech ennill arian ohono
- Rydych wedi dechrau gwerthu rhywbeth neu gynnig gwasanaeth ac eisiau rhywfaint o gyfeiriad
- Mae gennych ddiddordeb mewn gweithio’n llawrydd neu fod yn hunangyflogedig
- Hoffech archwilio eich opsiynau heb ymrwymo i ddechrau busnes
- Hoffech gwrdd â phobl a all eich helpu i gymryd y cam nesaf
Mae croeso i chi ddod â rhywun rydych yn ymddiried ynddo, gweithiwr cymorth neu rywun sy’n eich helpu i deimlo’n fwy cyfforddus.
Sesiwn Camau Nesaf dewisol
Ar ôl Sylfaenwyr y Dyfodol, mae croeso i chi aros ar gyfer ein digwyddiad Camau Nesaf rhwng 6pm ac 8pm.
Bydd y sesiwn anffurfiol hon yn dod ag arbenigwyr a sefydliadau cymorth ynghyd a all gynnig cyngor a chyfeiriad. Gallwch ofyn cwestiynau, archwilio’r cymorth sydd ar gael a darganfod pwy allai eich helpu nesaf.
Erbyn diwedd Sylfaenwyr y Dyfodol, ein gobaith yw y byddwch yn gadael gyda mwy o hyder, syniad cliriach o’r hyn a allai fod yn bosibl ac un cam ymarferol y gallwch ei gymryd.
Does dim angen i chi gael yr holl atebion. Y cyfan sydd ei angen yw syniad, sgil neu sbarc yr hoffech ei archwilio.
Mae lleoedd yn gyfyngedig, felly archebwch eich lle am ddim heddiw.
Os oes gennych unrhyw gwestiynau, anfonwch e-bost at [email protected] neu ffoniwch 02920 140 040.
Cyflwynir gan Welsh ICE mewn cydweithrediad â Busnes Cymru.
