Yn 2018 roedd yn bleser gan DSN ymestyn ein gwaith i Wrecsam.
Mae Cyngor Bwrdeistref Wrecsam wedi ein comisiynu i ddarparu gwasanaeth cynhwysfawr i ddarparu cefnogaeth ymarferol, gwybodaeth a chyngor i drigolion o bob oedran sydd yn Fyddar, yn byw gyda nam ar y clyw, neu sydd yn Fyddar a Dall (nam ddeuol ar y synhwyrau).
Nod cyffredinol y gwasanaeth yw hyrwyddo annibyniaeth a lles cadarnhaol, a sicrhau nad yw nam ar y clyw unigolion yn arwain at unigedd na bod yn agored i niwed.
