## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From Period start date To 31/08/2023 Period end date** **Charity name: Cylch Meithrin Y Ffor** ## **Charity registration number:1200480** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|.
Cylch Meithrin Y Ffor’s purpose is to provide
quality childcare, play and education to
preschool children through the medium of
Welsh. Our charity's purposes directly benefit
children of pre-school age where they learn to
develop their social, creative, personal skills as
well as develop their numeracy and linguistic
skills all through the medium of Welsh. This is
quite possibly the first time that children will be
left on their own in the care of staff, without their
parents, and they learn to become independent
individuals learning through play and fun
activities at the Cylch Meithrin. The Cylch
Meithrin is the stepping stone that prepares
children for their journey onto formal education
offering them a sound foundation both socially
and academically. Families / parents/ carers
also benefit from our organisation's purposes as
we offer parenting support and advice on how
their children are developing, healthy eating and
living as well as offer them the opportunity to
learn Welsh with their children. This is achieved
by sending bilingual/ Welsh activities/ songs
home for the children to learn with their families,
holding various activities,
and sign posting to
other voluntary organisations that can provide
Welsh language courses or activities in the
community.
Cylch Meithrin Y Ffor also benefits
the wider public and economy as we aim to
employ local qualified people as staff, we
always work in partnership with Mudiad Meithrin
to encourage individuals to train and up skill as
well as encourage volunteering opportunities
e.g. to assist with activities such as the summer
fete, Christmas parties etc. We also aim to
benefit other community organisations and
events by supporting them and working in
partnership for example we work closely with
the local school by organising christmas fair for
the school children, we also have opportunities
to attend different events at the school, we also
hold a Meithrin Mwy session for the nursery
year group from the school to attend with us.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Families and preschool children are the main
beneficiaries of Cylch Meithrin Y Ffor. We
believe that it is important that children can
become fully bilingual as they grow. In order to
achieve this, we believe that children from birth
onward should have the opportunity to access
Welsh medium activities and childcare where
they are fully immersed in the Welsh language
throughout the sessions. Parents and families
also indirectly benefit from our support as they
too have the opportunity to learn Welsh, and
learn and have fun with their children thus
enhancing their parenting skills. This is
achieved through Welsh language classes,
signposting to parenting classes. Healthy eating
and living activities etc.
Cylch Meithrin Y Ffor
achieves our aims through providing a range of
activities that offer a wealth of new experiences
to them that are fun and educational.
These
activities provide children with new experiences
and opportunities and equip them for school.
Cylch Meithrin Y Ffor aim is to also introduce
children and their families to the Welsh
language. Over 5% of children attending the
Cylch Meithrin
come from non-Welsh speaking
homes and our aim is to offer families the
opportunity for their children to become bilingual
through
immersing them in Welsh throughout
the sessions setting the foundations to a
bilingual future a bilingual future| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming
