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|The main achievement of the charity is to
provide early pre-school Welsh education
to 2.5 – 4 year olds, through the service of
Cylch Meithrin.
Cylch Meithrin Cerrigydrudion provides
playgroup sessions 4 times a week during
term time. The Cylch is a provider of early
education, and it provides this exclusively
through the medium of Welsh. The Cylch
Meithrin is accessible for all children
between 2.5 and 4 years in the
Cerrigydrudion and outlying areas and
these children, and their families, therefore
are the beneficiaries of this charity.
The Cylch benefitted from grant funding to
purchase an interactive whiteboard which
has been very beneficial for the children.
Cylch has also received grant funding
towards a new toilet and basin next to the
classroom making it much more accessible
to the young children.| |**Additional information (optional)**
