achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Over the financial year Cylch Meithrin
Amlwch has supported 24 children aged 2
or 3 to learn through play and be
surrounded by the Welsh language whilst
doing so.
Through applications to funding
opportunities the Cylch has been able to
provide new resources for the children to
support their development, moving to a
more natural setting- offering opportunities
to play and learn, rather than very set and
structured activities. We have also
developed our outside area with help from
Menter Mon to have an all weather canopy
to support us to be able to offer outdoor
play in all seasons.
Children have developed their Welsh
language skills, grown in confidence and
also gained skills. The focus this financial
year has been to promote social skills,
alongside learning. We have also
welcomed a new approach in terms of how
we support the children to develop, which
has required new resources in line with
Welsh government guidance.
We now have children attending under the
Flying Start scheme which is of benefit to
local families and also financially for the
Cylch| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|At year end the Cylch was in a relatively
healthy position financially, though we
endeavour to have a healthier account next
financial year as there were times the
balance went quite low.
Unfortunately there were few fundraising
events to provide any income and the
trustees have pressed to the committee
and the parents that with raising staff costs
this will need to be made a priority to
ensure sustainability. We are also exploring
offering a wraparound club for 3 year olds
from September onwards in order to
increase income and fill sessions.
The majority of parents continued to opt to
pay via BACS, though we had some paying
large amounts at a time which required
careful management by the Cylch leader.
Payments are divided on the spreadsheet
for reference, we anticipate as years go on
less and less parents will opt to pay cash.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
