Cylch Meithrin Y Gurnos

The aim of the Cylch Meithrin is to promote the education and development of children from two years old to school age. At the Cylch Meithrin children have the opportunity to enjoy the company of other children and learn through play with competent, friendly and enthusiastic staff. Our activities offer children a smooth journey to Welsh-medium education enabling them to become bilingual.

Separate measures from the charity's own returns and accounts, each with its year. Read them together: no single measure says how well a charity is run.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

No grants to this charity appear in 360Giving data.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.

3 trustees run the charity.

Trustees are responsible in law for the charity. Names are as they appear on the public register.

Charities with income over £10,000 send an annual return within 10 months of their year end, and those over £25,000 also send their accounts. Smaller charities only update their income and spending on the register. The dates are when the Commission received each document.
