|Summary of the purposes of

quality childcare, play and educaton to
preschool children through the medium of
Welsh. Our charity's purposes directly beneft
children of pre-school age where they learn to
develop their social, creatve, personal skills as
well as develop their numeracy and linguistc
skills all through the medium of Welsh. This is
quite possibly the frst tme that children will be
lef on their own in the care of staf, without
their parents, and they learn to become
independent individuals learning through play
and fun actvites at the Cylch Meithrin. The
Cylch Meithrin is the stepping stone that
prepares children for their journey onto formal
educaton ofering them a sound foundaton
both socially and academically. Families /
parents/ carers also beneft from our
organisaton's purposes as we ofer parentng
support and advice on how their children are
developing, healthy eatng and living as well as
ofer them the opportunity to learn Welsh with
their children. This is achieved by sending
bilingual/ Welsh actvites/ songs home for the
children to learn with their families, holding
various actvites, and sign postng to other
voluntary organisatons that can provide Welsh
language courses or actvites in the community.
Cylch Meithrin Y Ffor also benefts the wider
public and economy as we aim to employ local
qualifed people as staf, we always work in
partnership with Mudiad Meithrin to encourage
individuals to train and up skill as well as
encourage volunteering opportunites e.g. to
