	(Optional information)
	The committee and Trustees maximised their efforts to raise money for the Cylch, during this financial period. We continued to seek external supports such as local funds and grants. The Cylch was successful in seeking over 5K of grants for funds during this financial period. On the 15th May 2019 the Denbighshire local Authority announced that they had been successful in achieving a grant from the Welsh Government’s Pre school grant, to improve the location and physical provision of Cylch Meithrin Bodawen. The likely timescales would be 1-2 years. However the pandemic paused this work. During this financial year, further discussions have taken place to further this work and although rising costs have meant some reprofiling of the overall project. The Cylch expect news of this project in the Summer of 2023. The Trustees and Committee of Cylch Meithrin Bodawen will continue to work jointly with the Local Authority over the coming financial year to achieve a new building and locality for the Cylch and to explore how a purpose built building will present increased opportunities to expand the business and increase revenue.
