|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|Over the financial year Cylch Meithrin<br>Amlwch has supported 26 children aged 2<br>or 3 to learn through play and be<br>surrounded by the Welsh language whilst<br>doing so.<br>Through applications to funding<br>opportunities the Cylch has been able to<br>provide new resources for the children to<br>support their development, moving to a<br>more natural setting- offering opportunities<br>to play and learn, rather than very set and<br>structured activities. We have also<br>developed our outside area with help from<br>Menter Mon to have an all weather canopy<br>to support us to be able to offer outdoor<br>play in all seasons.<br>Children have developed their Welsh<br>language skills, grown in confidence and<br>also gained skills. The focus this financial<br>year has been to promote social skills,<br>alongside learning. We have also<br>welcomed a new approach in terms of how<br>we support the children to develop, which<br>has required new resources in line with<br>Welsh government guidance.<br>We are pleased to have been accepted in<br>February 2023 to be part of the Flying Start<br>scheme and anticipate that we will receive<br>more referrals and income from this<br>venture in the next financial year|

## **Financial Review** 

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|At year end the Cylch was in a much<br>healthier position this financial year thanks<br>to a number of funding grants received.<br>Unfortunately there were no fundraising<br>events to provide any income and the<br>trustees have pressed to the committee<br>and the parents that without this our next<br>financial year will be very bleak.<br>The majority of parents continued to opt to<br>pay via BACS, though we had some paying<br>large amounts at a time which required<br>careful management by the Cylch leader.<br>Payments are divided on the spreadsheet<br>for reference, we anticipate as years go on<br>less and less parents will opt to pay cash.|
