1. ANNUAL REPORT 2019
1. Introduction
2019 was a notable year in the history of the Fund from the standpoint of activity, the number of applications and the total value of grants awarded. Five ordinary meetings of the trustees were held during the year. In addition, some decisions were made through consultation by email.
2. Applications
Consideration was given to 32 applications during the year. Two applications were deferred, five were refused (either inappropriate or for lack of information) and the following were successful:
Cylch Meithrin Pentrebaen £600 Marketing
Cylch Meithrin Dol y Bont (Dinas Mawddwy) £250 Educational signage
Cylch Meithrin Hermon (Penfro) £175 Resources
Cylch Meithrin Machynlleth £330 Educational signage
Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Tyle’r Ynn (Llansawel) £510 Marketing
Gŵyl Hanes Cymru £175 Welsh History Production
Cylch Ti a Fi Casnewydd/Torfaen £200 Resources/Marketing
Cylch Meithrin Cwmbrân £150 Resources
Cylch Meithrin Plantos, Caerdydd £200 Resources/Marketing
Cylch Ti a Fi Pont-y-pŵl £285 Resources
Cylch Meithrin Trefynwy £200 Resources/Marketing
Cylch Meithrin Pont-y-pŵl £150 Resources
Menter Iaith Fflint/Wrecsam £300 Equipment/Quiz
Cyn-ddisgyblion Ysgol Gymraeg Caerdydd £110 Leaflets
Cylch Meithrin Terrig, Treuddyn £150 Banner
Cylch Meithrin Llanerch, Llanelli £330 Marketing
Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Hamadryad (Caerdydd) £500 Marketing
Cylch Meithrin Bae Cinmel £200 Marketing
Cylch Meithrin Dinas Powys £250 Resources
Cylch Meithrin Tre-lech £400 Marketing
Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin £300 Homework Guidance Booklet
Cylch Meithrin y Coed Duon £160 Marketing
Cylch Meithrin Bwcle £ 345 Marketing
Cylch Ti a Fi Llangeitho £125.22 Resources
Cylch Meithrin Bodawen £200 Marketing
The total value of grants awarded was £6595.22 (2018 - £4,050). It is now a condition of grant aid that the receiver of a grant submits a report to its local “papur bro” referring to the Fund’s contribution and we are aware such reports have appeared in Y Barcud, Y Bedol, Y Blewyn Glas, Y Cardi Bach, Y Dinesydd and the Bulletin of the Voluntary Organisations in Torfaen. In addition, a report is requested a year later as to the outcome of the grant aid. The reports received are very encouraging (as shown in the annex) and confirm the Fund is succeeding in making a difference.
3. Contributions
Once again, the friends of the Fund have been generous in their support during the year, contributing £3791 (2018 - £3990). We gratefully acknowledge their support. In addition, the autumn Dinner made a profit which, including gifts made on the night, totalled £2042. However, our income, this year, was less than the total value of the grants awarded. Accordingly, we wish to increase the number of contributors and seek support from companies in Wales.
4. Raising the profile of the Fund
It was decided to trial a scheme to encourage applications to the Fund from Ti a Fi/ Meithrin groups and Welsh medium Primary Schools in specific areas. We began with Neath Port Talbot and Monmouth and attracted one application from a primary school in one county and one from a Meithrin group in the other. This was followed in Merthyr Tudful, Cynon Valley and the Tregaron area which attracted an application from a Meithrin group in the latter. We then implemented the scheme in the remainder of the Rhondda Cynon Taf area and Bridgend and attracted one application from a primary school in the latter area. On the whole, the response was disappointing.
Our leaflets were distributed at the Urdd Eisteddfod in Cardiff. A successful meeting was held at the National Eisteddfod at Llanrwst when Nic Parry questioned Aled Roberts (The Welsh Language Commissioner). That was followed by a very successful Dinner, in October, at Radyr Golf Club, which was addressed by Guto Harri. Our website was reviewed and updated (www.cronfaglyndwr.cymru) and reports of the above events were added. We met officers of Mudiad Meithrin to discuss their SAS scheme (Establish and Move on). A representative attended the Welsh Language Cross Party Group in the Senedd and we responded to the “Consultation – A Draft Curriculum for Wales 2022” noting, in particular, the abs
ence of specific references to the history and culture of Wales.

2. ANNUAL REPORT 2018
1. Introduction
It gave us great pleasure to welcome Cennard Davies as our Honorary President in succession to the late Lord Gwilym Prys-Davies. Cennard has already made a significant contribution to the work of the Fund. Helen Prosser was appointed to succeed Rhodri Morgan as Minute Secretary. Rhodri has given years of service to the Fund in maintaining minutes of the trustees’ meetings since his appointment as a trustee in 1983.
Four ordinary meetings of the trustees were held during the year. In addition, some decisions were made through email consultation.
2. Applications
Consideration was given to 16 applications during the year and the following were successful:
Cylch Meithrin Hen Golwyn £300 Resources
Cylch Meithrin Cerrigydrudion £300 Resources
Cylch Meithrin Clocaenog £300 Resources
Ymgyrch Trebiwt a Grangetown £500 Marketing
Ysgol Gyfun Maes Garmon £250 Theatre visit
Gŵyl Hanes Cymru £350 Welsh History Presentation
Ysgol Gynradd Pen Barras £300 Resources

Cylch Meithrin Cynwyd £400 Resources
Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Castellau £150* Marketing
Grants awarded totalled £4,200 but as project * was not fulfilled, the total value of grants distributed was £4,050 (2017 - £4,075). One application was withdrawn, one application was refused, as it did not offer value for money, and the necessary information was not provided in respect of one application. It is now a requirement that a body receiving a grant provides a report for their local “Papur Bro” referring to the contribution of the Fund. In addition, a report is requested, after a year, on the outcome of the grant-aid. The reports received are very encouraging and confirm that the Fund is able to “make a difference”.
3. Contributions
Once again, the supporters of the Fund were very generous with their donations during the year , in contributing £3990 (2017 - £4301). We gratefully acknowledge their support.
4. Raising the Fund’s profile
A number of steps were taken during the year to raise the Fund’s profile with a view to increasing the number of donations and the number of applications to the Fund. Following the publication of the leaflet, in 2017, to promote the Fund, two main events were held during the year. A meeting was held during the National Eisteddfod at Cardiff at which Vaughan Roderick interviewed Huw Jones (Chair of the S4C Authority). The meeting was attended by about 50 people and publicity was obtained on Radio Cymru, in the magazine “Golwg” and the “Papurau Bro”. Secondly, a meeting was held, in November, at Yr Egin, Carmarthen, when an address was given by Cennard Davies “Towards a Million Welsh Speakers”. Press releases were issued following the appointment of
our Honorary President and in respect of the above events for which leaflets were prepared. In addition, we distributed our information leaflets at the National Eisteddfod and at“Parti Ponty”. Our website was reviewed and updated (www.cronfaglyndwr.cymru) by adding reports of the above two events.
5. Privacy Policy
A privacy policy was prepared for both our donors and the applicants to the Fund and the policy has been placed on our website.

Grants that make a difference
Cylch Meithrin Llanfair Caereinion
“Mae’r deunyddiau newydd yn cael eu defnyddio yn ddyddiol gan y plant sy’n mynychu’r Cylch ac maent wrth eu bodd gyda nhw. Mae’r deunyddiau mwy addysgiadol megis pecynnau i ddysgu ysgrifennu llythrennau’r wyddor yn cael eu defnyddio yn sesiwn bore pan fydd y plant 3 oed a hŷn yn y cylch a’r jig-sô’s a DVD’s a’r llyfrau yn cael eu defnyddio yn y prynhawn hefyd pan fydd plant 2 oed a hŷn yn gallu mynychu. Mae digon o ddeunyddiau a theganau yn y cylch rwan fel bod modd newid y llyfrau yn wythnosol a’r plant ddim yn diflasu ar yr un rhai bob tro. Cawson arolygiad Estyn yn ddiweddar ac roedd yr adborth am yr adnoddau a llyfrau sydd ar gael yn y cylch yn bositif.
Unwaith eto, diolch o galon am y grant yma gan Gronfa Glyndwr, mae wedi cael effaith bositif iawn ar ddatblygiad plant bach Cylch Meithrin Llanfair Caereinion.“
Cylch Meithrin Cerrigydrudion
“Defnyddiwyd yr arian grant i brynu adnoddau hanfodol megis paent, glud, papur, llyfrau lloffion ar gyfer gweithgareddau celf wythnosol, costau printio, adnoddau chwarae (anifeiliaid yr arctig, jyngla deinosoriaid, llestri te adnabod lliwiau ayyb), prynu llyfrau a gwella yr ardal ddarllen ac adnoddau addysgol.
Yn ogystal a gweithgareddau codi arian y Cylch, bu’r grant gan Gronfa Glyndwr o gymorth mawr ini tra’n mynd trwy’r cyfnod anodd yma. Rydym yn falch iawn o fedru datgan bod y Cylch yn mynd o nerth i nerth gyda criw gwych o blant yn mynychu ac yn parhau i gyflogi 3 aelod o staff. Bellach mae’r criw oedd yn 2 a hanner i 3 oed llynedd yn medru elwa o Gynllun Gofal 30 awr sydd o gymorth mawr i sicrhau bod y Cylch yn gynaliadwy. Mae’r adnoddau brynwyd gyda’r arian grant wedi llwyddo i roi y cyfleoedd gorau i blant yr ardal ddatblygu drwy chwarae a chymdeithasu yn yr iaith Gymraeg. Diolch o galon i’r Gronfa am y gefnogaeth yn ystod y cyfnod anodd llynedd.”
Cylch Meithrin Clocaenog
“We are pleased to say that the grant of £300 received by Cylch Meithrin Clocaenog has been key in the development and growth of cylch meithrin clocaenog over the past 12 months. The essential supplies we purchased enabled us to provide education through the medium of Welsh, which is of a high standard, flexible and affordable to parents and guardians. The financial support we receive from Cronfa Glyndwr was used for the benefit of the children to enhance their education so that they may reach their full potential. We are pleased to say that we have increased our numbers of children/families using Cylch Clocaenog over the past 12 months as we started with around 9 or 10 children using the service and we currently have 14 children plus several more enquiries from other families who are interested in their children attending Cylch Clocaenog after Easter. This is amazing news and means we have seen at least 40% increase in numbers and income we receive. As a committee we would like to thank Cronfa Glyndwr for the financial support, we are very pleased with the growth and quality of care/education we were able to offer. We hope Cronfa Glyndwr are also satisfied by the difference made and thank you for your support.”
Ysgol Pen Barras, Rhuthun
“Hoffwn ddiolch o galon i chi am y grant dderbyniwyd gennych tuag at dŷ bach twt y babanod. Amgaeaf luniau o’r tai bach twt ar waith gyda’r plant wedi gwisgo i fyny yn yr ardal chwarae rôl. Mae nhw’n adnodd hynod o werthfawr i ni fel ysgol.”
Cylch Meithrin Cynwyd
“Llynedd, derbyniodd Cylch Meithrin Cynwyd grant o £400 ganddoch i brynu byrddau a chadeiriau newydd ar gyfer ein lleoliad newydd. Hoffwn adrodd yn ôl atoch am y datblygiadau sydd wedi bod o fewn y Cylch dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf.
Ers derbyn eich grant a newid lleoliad y Cylch Meithrin, rydym wedi mynd o nerth i nerth. Erbyn hyn, rydym yn cynnig gofal yn ddyddiol rhwng 08:00 – 18:00 i blant rhwng 2-12 mlwydd oed. Rydym wedi sefydlu clwb ar ôl ysgol yn ogystal â chlwb brecwast, a mae ein sesiynau canol wythnos yn boblogaidd gyda thri o’r pum niwrnod yn llawn yn wythnosol.
Carwn ddiolch i chi eto am eich cyfraniad hael tuag at ein prosiect – mae’r byrddau a chadeiriau a brynwyd gyda’r arian yn cael eu defnyddio yn ddyddiol gan y plant.”
Gŵyl Hanes Cymru i Blant
“Roedd y grant yn gyfraniad tuag at gynhyrchu sioe newydd a gafodd ei llwyfannu am wythnos gyfan yn Amgueddfa Wlan Cymru yn Drefach Felindre, fel rhan o Gŵyl Hanes Cymru I Blant 2018. Roedd sgript eisoes wedi’i gyflwyno fel rhan o gynllun datblygu awduron ifanc, ac felly roedd angen i’r ŵyl ddod o hyd i tua £4,000 i gynhyrchu’r sioe. Cafwyd cymorth mewn da gan Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru I gyfarwyddo’r sioe, a cafwyd grant o £1,500 hefyd gan Gyngor Sir Caerfyrddin i ariannu’r actor am y cyfnod ymarfer ynghyd ag archebu props. Cafwyd £200 gan gwmni Castell Howell, a defnyddiwyd yr arian hwnnw ynghyd â grant Cronfa Glyndŵr i gomisiynu creu gwisg arbennig i Arglwydes Llanofer – gwisg Gymreig ysblennydd o frethyn a brynwyd o’r amgueddfa.
Yn ystod yr wythnos o berfformiadau, daeth 10 o ysgolion yr ardal i’r amgueddfa i weld y sioe - tua 400 o blant.
Mae’r ŵyl wedi elwa o’r grant, gan fod gennym sioe fydd ar gael i’r ŵyl am flynyddoedd eto i ddod, gan addysgu cenedlaethu o blant, a’r bwriad fydd atgyfodi’r sioe yn flynyddol, i’w pherfformio yn yr amgueddfa wlân yn Nrefach Felindre ynghyd â lleoliadau perthnasol eraill ar hyd a lled Cymru.”
Cylch Meithrin Yr Eglwys Newydd
“Mae arweinwyr ein Cylch wedi adnabod yr offer byddai’n datblygu gallu, gwybodaeth a sgiliau’r plant yn y maes technoleg gwybodaeth mewn modd sy’n hwyl ac yn gyffrous. Ers derbyn y adnoddau newydd, mae’n amlwg bod hwn wedi llwyddo. Mae’r plant i gyd wedi tyfu mewn hyder ac annibyniaeth gan defnyddio’r holl bethau a mae staff y cylch wedi darganfod sawl ffordd arloesol i’w defnyddio. Hefyd, mae’n golygu bod y cylch yn barod am y newidiadau gyda’r cwricwlwm newydd yn ystod y blynyddoedd nesaf.
Rydym ni fel Cylch yn ddiolchgar iawn o’r cyfraniad gan Gronfa Glyndwr sydd wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth cadarnhaol i blant a staff Cylch Meithrin yr Eglwys Newydd.”

“Mae arweinwyr ein Cylch wedi adnabod yr offer byddai’n datblygu gallu, gwybodaeth a sgiliau’r plant yn y maes technoleg gwybodaeth mewn modd sy’n hwyl ac yn gyffrous. Ers derbyn y adnoddau newydd, mae’n amlwg bod hwn wedi llwyddo.
