Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main 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	We focus our work on improving the life chances for the children in our care. We do this in several ways including by introducing the Welsh language to children who come from non Welsh speaking families. We provide opportunites for children to learn through play building up their skills and confdence getng them ready for school. We know that giving these children the advantage of being bilingual will greatly increase their chances of employment when they later become adults and that introducing a new language during the preschool years is the most efectve method of introducton. We also work closely with the Local Authority to ensure staf atend training courses that upskill our staf to provide high quality provision enabling us to put early interventons in place for individual children. We assess and plan our actvites so that we can identfy areas of need and put in place preventatve work to support the children’s progress. We provide individual support for targeted children who are referred to us by the Local Authority.
