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 a kitchen for the children. Cylch
has also received grant funding towards a
trip to Bala through a local windmill fund
and a grant towards a wellbeing course for
one member of staff. The Cylch also
received a small grant due to snow.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

Welsh Government childcare services.| |---|---|---| |Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted|Para 1.46|N/A| |A description of the principal
risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|The key risks are financial, as the charity
relies almost entirely on contract income
that is tied to strict child-to-staff ratios and a
fixed payment rate that does not always
cover the full cost of delivery.
With only two members of staff, any period
of illness or absence would make it
extremely difficult to source suitable cover,
and could result in the Cylch having to
close temporarily.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
