About Us
Making a Difference
Cronfa Glyndŵr (the Glyndŵr Trust) was established in 1963 to promote Welsh-medium education.
We welcome applications for financial support from heads of school or group leaders. (See the section on How to make an application.)
We consult RhAG (Parents for Welsh-medium Education) and MYM (Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin), to try and ensure that our resources are directed to areas of need, and where our intervention can actually make a difference.
In recent years, awards have been made in three categories.
1.The following schools / groups have received help to produce attractive leaflets to promote Welsh-medium education in their areas and to attract more pupils to their schools:
