Organisations
Urdd
Founded in 1922 and with a current membership of 55,000, the Urdd is a unique organisation. As well as excellent residential experiences, the Urdd offers substantial opportunities in the areas of sport and arts as well as humanitarian projects and volunteering work. To date, over 4 million children and young people have engaged positively with the Urdd. The experience provided has helped nurture their self-confidence, broadened their horizons and has helped them contribute positively to society and their communities.
The Urdd has nurtured generations of young men and women to be positive embodiments of our unique language and culture, to be proud of their country while at the same time being outwardlooking citizens of the world. The Urdd’s aim is to ensure that all the young people of Wales (between 8 and 25 years of age) are given the opportunity, through the medium of Welsh, to develop into rounded individuals, and enable them to play a constructive role in the community, by developing personal and social skills.
Mudiad Meithrin
Mudiad Meithrin is a voluntary organisation and is the main provider of Welsh-medium early years care and education in the voluntary sector. Our aim is to give every young child in Wales the opportunity to benefit from early years care and education experiences through the medium of Welsh.
Cymraeg for Kids provide specialist advice, information and support to prospective and new parents on the advantages of early bilingualism and the importance of introducing Welsh at an early stage to your child.
Cylch Ti a Fi: Parents and carers will have an opportunity to meet regularly to enjoy playing with their children and socialise over a cuppa in an informal Welsh atmosphere. It will help promote the development of children from birth to school age.
Menter Iaith Fflint a Wrecsam
The first Menter Iaith was established in 1991, and there are now 22 of them working to promote and increase the use of the Welsh language in all parts of Wales.

RhAG
RhAG has always been about supporting parents and guardians as they go on the journey with their children through Welsh Medium Education and beyond. The period begins before the birth of the child, with promotional work within the antenatal and early years sector, and we work with stakeholders positively and proactively to ensure that access to Welsh Medium Education is available to all who desires it.
Through this work we are also working to ensure that more Welsh-medium schools open across Wales so that demand rises. We work closely with a wide range of stakeholders - in schools, Local Authorities, Mentrau Iaith, education consortia, Urdd Gobaith Cymru, Mudiad Meithrin, private care providers to name but a few.
We also work with parents directly to support them when specific cases arise. We do this through direct advice and representation.
A network of volunteers across Wales, parents, carers and friends of Welsh Medium Education, represents the organization through a variety of committees and forums and feeds back to a national management committee. Anyone is welcome to join us as an organization and we are grateful to any volunteers who are willing to assist us with specific causes in areas across Wales.
