Chair’s Report - Eryl Jones It has been my pleasure to be the Chairman of Menter Caerdydd for the 3rd year now and what a year 2015/15 has been! Building on the success of last year Menter Caerdydd has gone from strength to strength by continuing to promote and develop the use of the Welsh language in the capital city through a whole range of activities. We have strengthened our partnerships with Cardiff Council and Welsh Government, and have been very successful in forging new relationships with academic institutions and private companies. This year’s Tafwyl was testament to this. The event was a resounding success with almost 37,000 people enjoying the week-long events across the city, and attracting more sponsorship from both public and private organisations. 2016/17 will bring with it exciting opportunities and new developments and we look forward to hearing about these in the months to come and seeing Menter Caerdydd going from strength to strength. Thank you to the members of the Management Board for giving their free time and resources as generously as we discuss the work and direction of Menter Caerdydd. Finally I would like to thank and congratulate the staff of Menter Caerdydd under the leadership of our Chief Executive, Siân Lewis on their efforts and achievements over the past twelve months.
Chief Executive’s Report – Sian Lewis Menter Caerdydd’s activities enrich the lives of the citizens of Cardiff throughout the year. Participating in our Cardiff wide community programme, visiting Tafwyl, gaining employment or Volunteering opportunities or attending events at Yr Hen Lyfrgell ensures that families, children, young people, adults and Welsh learners have access to engage with the language on a social level all year round. Menter Caerdydd are committed to ensuring that our work continues to reflect the needs of the Welsh language community within the capital city. During the past year we have been realistic in realising that we face challenging periods, economically and in relation to the language, but by working in partnership with organisations across the city, and with partners from the third sector, public sector and private sector we are confident that we have reached our goals and that our services continue to have a positive impact on the language in Cardiff. Menter Caerdydd’s core work encompass six priorities. They are to: • Promote and create opportunities to use the Welsh language • Raise confidence and change people’s attitudes towards the Welsh language • Strengthen the Welsh language and its use amongst families • Develop employment and training opportunities for young people and adults
Promoting and expanding the use of the Welsh language on a community basis in the Capital City, ensuring that the language becomes a central part of life in Cardiff and that the responsibility for its future is shared by every citizen.
• Develop Welsh Festivals to raise awareness of the Welsh language • Ensure a visual platform for the Welsh language on a digital level By focusing on these main priorities, Menter Caerdydd encompasses the Welsh Government and Cardiff Council’s main strategic priorities in terms of the language, families, children and young people, the community and the workplace. I would like to thank Menter Caerdydd’s Management Board for their guidance and support, the committed staff of Menter Caerdydd for their hard work and vision, to our volunteers for their invaluable contribution and to the people of Cardiff for continually supporting our services.
Menter Caerdydd is a key organisation, progressive and active, influencing and innovative in relation to the Welsh language in the Capital City.

Background Menter Caerdydd was established in June 1998, with the aim of promoting and expanding the use of the Welsh language in Cardiff by creating opportunities for the city’s residents to use the language outside work hours and the school gates. Menter Caerdydd is a Registered Charity (1098606) and a Company Limited by Guarantee (4576565). We interact regularly with our customers to ensure that the voice of the customer is at the forefront of our service planning. We are a workforce of 8 staff and are guided by a Management Board of 15 members who are responsible for ensuring that relevant provisions are in place to enable the organisation to carry out its duty to the best of its ability to the citizens of Cardiff. During the past year we succeeded to;
“You lead the way for other Mentrau in Wales and offer so many opportunities for Cardiff’s inhabitants…. You are always willing to improve provision and that is to be applauded.”
• Generate an economic value of almost £2 million to the city of Cardiff’s Economy • Engaged with over 42,000 service users • Employee over 108 casual staff aged 16+ • Organise over 1,322 individual activities throughout the year • Attracted 111 Volunteers to assist with our services • Worked with 88 partners across Private, Public and Third Sector • Engaged with over 22,000 social media followers Our main funders are Welsh Government, City of Cardiff Council, Arts Council of Wales and National Lottery.
“Bwrw Mlaen” the Welsh Government’s policy statement, provides a focus for the implementation of our Language Strategy between 2014-2016 and acknowledges the need to strengthen the link between the economy and the Welsh language. We welcome Menter Caerdydd’s efforts to strengthen these links in the capital and the content of this report launched today reinforces this work.” The Minister for the Welsh Language and Lifelong learning, Alun Davies AM
Menter Caerdydd’s Economic Value to Cardiff Back in July in the Senedd, Menter Caerdydd launched a report ‘An Assessment of Menter Caerdydd’s economic value to Cardiff’ with Alun Davies AM, Minister for Welsh Language and Lifelong Learning and Phil Bale, Leader of the City of Cardiff Council. Menter Caerdydd commissioned Arad Research to undertake an analysis of the organisation’s economic value to the city of Cardiff as we fully appreciate the need for organisations that receive public funding to demonstrate and provide value for money in these challenging economic times. All findings in the report are based on expenditure data relating to 2014-15. The day to day work of Menter Caerdydd helps the Welsh Government and Cardiff Council implement important policies that attract cross-party support. The aim of the report published was to demonstrate the value of a wider reach - giving economic value to their work in the capital.
6
The key findings of the report were as follows – • Menter Caerdydd generated an estimated total economic value of £1.9m in Cardiff in 2014-15 • Menter Caerdydd generated a return on investment of £2.66 for every pound of income received • On average, visitors to Tafwyl spent an estimated £46 on goods and services from Cardiff-based businesses generating an indirect economic value of just over £1m Menter Caerdydd are grateful to Cardiff Council and the Welsh Government for their continued support and for allowing them to continue with their work of promoting the Welsh language. Menter Caerdydd are confident that the evidence presented in this report outlining the economic value to Cardiff reinforces, that in addition to being the main vehicle to deliver Cardiff Council’s key policy objectives and being a central partner in delivering Welsh Government policy they provide value for money in their work, and also provide economic value to the city. We look forward to continuing their work over the years ahead.
“I very much welcome the publication of the report which underlines the successful partnership that has existed between the City of Cardiff Council and Menter Caerdydd over the past ten years. Menter Caerdydd does a fantastic job in showcasing the best of Welsh culture, raising awareness of the language and demonstrating that Welsh is a thriving and vibrant language here in Wales’ capital city. The council is committed to raising the profile of the Welsh language across the city and we will continue to work with Menter Caerdydd and our other partners to realise our vision of a bilingual Cardiff.” Phil Bale, Leader of the City of Cardiff Council said

Tafwyl
“It has firmly established itself as a hugely important event that promotes the Welsh language and is inclusive to non-Welsh speakers.”
This year over 36,500 visitors enjoyed Tafwyl with record breaking numbers walking through Cardiff Castles gates over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday 2-3 July) to enjoy Wales’ largest community festival. Tafwyl’s second day, Sunday July 3, saw more visitors than ever with the wealth of entertainment attracting 15,500 to the site, on top of the 20,000 who attended on Saturday and the 1,000 who enjoyed Tafwyl’s fringe events throughout the week. Throughout the weekend over 279 individual activities were organised by for children, families, young people, Welsh learners and adults, the highest number to date!
“Tafwyl offers an amazing opportunity to socialise in the city centre through the Welsh language. A good opportunity to show that the language is alive and why people speak it – that the language is more than a way to communicate – it’s a way of life, our true culture.”
Many agree that Tafwyl 2016 was the best to date with... • 42 live bands • 40 fringe festival events • 279 individual events at Tafwyl Fair • 91 volunteers • 58 partners • 24 sponsors There were many new developments this year. One of the highlights was Yurt T – a brand new area at Tafwyl for young people to chill out & take part in art, photography, make up and music workshops. There were also many local young bands performing acoustic sets. A focus group was set up with twenty Year 10 students from Ysgol Gyfun Bro Edern in East Cardiff. The purpose of the focus group was to help develop a programme of events for Yurt T throughout the Tafwyl weekend supported by Cardiff and the Vale College. Among the festival’s highlights were a performance by 90s girl band, Eden’s, cooking sessions with the head chef of Michelin star restaurant, Odettes, Bryn Williams, and rock band Candelas leading the crowd in a rendition of the Euros anthem ‘Rhedeg i Paris’. This year the festival introduced its new ambassador who will join Huw Stephens, Matthew Rhys, Alex Jones and Rhys Patchell who have all supported Tafwyl as ambassadors for years. This was exdrummer of rock band Flaming Lips, Kliph Scurlock’s first Tafwyl experience since moving to Wales from Kansas, USA to enjoy Welsh music and learn the language. Tafwyl is a partnership between the public, private and voluntary sectors and it provides a platform for the Welsh language in the country’s capital. Tafwyl succeeded in attracting £33,650 in sponsorship, compared with £28,975 last year, an increase of 16%. Cardiff University continue to be our main sponsor and also announced a commitment to another three year main sponsor deal seeing us through until 2020. This year we also succeeded in engaging with new sponsors including Aberystwyth University, Academi Hywel Teifi, ND Education & Green Giraffe Nursery. The festival’s main funders this year were Welsh Government, Arts Council of Wales, Cardiff University, Heritage Lottery an Cardiff City Council. The Leader of City of Cardiff Council, Cllr. Phil Bale confirmed the council’s continued support towards the festival in its new location next year and its return to the castle in 2018. 8
“Tafwyl is great and has such a fantastic atmosphere – so welcoming and with so much going on. I’ve listened to loads of good music – some bands I’ve already heard and like but a lot of new bands too. And the food is great!” Kliph Scurlock
“Thank you for organizing such a great festival. We are so lucky. I know a few teenagers who do not normally go to Welsh things enjoyed the bands and decided they wanted to go to the Eisteddfod after this. This is exactly what we need in terms of raising awareness of things happening in Welsh. It was also so nice to see that some had travelled from other parts of Wales to be part of it.” 9
Leisure Clubs and Courses for Families and Children One of Menter Caerdydd’s original aims was to create opportunities for children and young people to use their Welsh language skills outside school hours and school environment. Establishing and organising leisure clubs after school and during the weekends for children and young people is a crucial part of this aim. This year, we have succeeded in running 28 clubs/courses in partnership with the Urdd’s Sport Department. The courses range from Athletics to Gymnastics, Rugby, Swimming, Cricket and Netball to name a few. The financial support that we received from Cardiff Council is paramount to the sustainability of this services. Other than the clubs/courses we run, the opportunities for children to access Welsh language activity Clubs in Cardiff are still few and far between. As well an offering an invaluable Welsh language Leisure service for the children of Cardiff, we offer paid work for over 21 casual staff throughout the year and in conjunction with the Urdd Sports Department we offer training opportunities for young volunteers (16+) to receive coaching qualification, continual professional and personal development, additional qualifications and sports kit as part of the Volunteering package. Currently over 25 Volunteers from Ysgol Gyfun Glantaf and Ysgol Gyfun Plasmawr are gaining volunteering opportunities within this service. This year 1396 children in Cardiff have learnt new skills by attending the weekly leisure clubs held across the City. Offering a wide variety of activities for families is also an important part of Menter Caerdydd’s service and it is also one of the Welsh Government’s Welsh Language Strategy targets.
“Good provision for Children, nothing else available in our area in Welsh. My child particularly likes going to the bwrlwm play schemes run over the holidays”
Play Services (Bwrlwm) “ It provides children who come from English speaking homes to develop their Welsh language in a relaxed setting other than that of a classroom” Over the past year the provision has increased thanks to the continuous funding from Families First. The services that we offer are well attended and well received by the general public. We organise over 12 events each week for families in addition to individual events during the year. On average on a weekly basis over 357 children and parents attend our services that are located city wide. These activities range from 7 parent and toddler Story times sessions, water babies swimming lessons, buggy tots, gym tots, rugby tots and yoga sessions. We also arrange numerous larger scale activities for families throughout the year including ‘Miri Meithrin’, Family weekend at Llangrannog, Nature Welly Walks and numerous events during the Tafwyl Fringe festival and Tafwyl weekend at Cardiff Castle. Over 3,500 extra parents and toddlers attend these larger events. Many parent attending are new to the language as Welsh learners or non-Welsh speakers. Our Family and Children Leisure Services are organised city wide including Grangetown, Fairwater, Llanrumney, Leckwith, Llanishen, Llanedyrn, Canton, Cardiff Central, Gabalfa, Splott, Radyr, Whitchurch, Roath, Heath and Pontcanna.
“Hugely important. Not only do out of school activities encourage new hobbies and friendships, they enable children to speak Welsh in a different environment and learn new vocabulary etc. This is especially important for children like mine who speak Welsh as their second language.”
“It is an excellent way to maintain Welsh spoken outside of school for both are children as we do not speak much Welsh at home.” 10
Since 2010, Menter Caerdydd has held open access play sessions during every school holiday for children aged 4 – 11 yrs old. This is an important service as it’s an opportunity for children to use their Welsh language skills outside school hours. Many of the children that attend this service have very little or no access to the Welsh language during school holidays and therefore this service plays an integral part in maintaining many of the children’s Welsh language skills during the holidays. On average 600 children attend Bwrlwm sessions each week (across 6 sites) and are run for 8 weeks during school holidays (February/October/ Easter/Whitsun/Summer). We employ and train an average of 25 additional staff per year and offer volunteering opportunities for young people aged between 16-18 years old. Our open access play services are held in the following area: Llanedeyrn, Caerau, Pentrebane, Gabalfa, Heath, Llandaf North, Canton, Splott and Grangetown. Over 3,879 children have attended at least one open access play sessions. During the year we evaluated our Play sessions through conducting face to face questionnaires with the parents and children that attend our open access play provision. Over 25 parents and 50 children from a variety of sites took part in the evaluation. The purpose of the activity was to enable us to gain a clear outlook on how well we engage and provide our customers with the best Play experience that they can enjoy. During the evaluation the information below was collected; • 100% of the children that contributed to the survey said that the sessions “I am not a Welsh speaker were ‘Good’ or ‘Excellent’. so Bwrlwm ensures my • 8% were attending for the first time at time of survey. child uses Welsh during the • Of the 25 parents that completed the survey, 100% stated that they would holidays. This is a valuable like to see Menter Caerdydd continuing to run Welsh language holiday Play service.

We have continued to see an increase in the number of children attending our free Play sessions in Trowbridge and Gabalfa thanks to working in partnership with the local Welsh medium schools and Head teachers in the area.
“Thanks for entertaining Bella throughout the summer – you’re all fantastic!” 11
Holiday Care Schemes
“I only have praise for Menter’s work – excellent! Professional, effective and fun!!”
Since 2003 Menter Caerdydd has worked successfully in partnership with Cardiff Council to provide 2 Holiday Care Schemes in Cardiff throughout the year for children aged 4-11 from Cardiff’s Welsh medium primary schools. The schemes are located at Ysgol Melin Gruffydd, Whitchurch and Ysgol Treganna, Canton. We are the only providers of Welsh language Holiday Care provision in Cardiff and have provided this service successfully in partnership with the Council for the past 12 years. On average 556 children per week attend our Holiday Care provision. Our service runs between 8.30am – 5.30pm, Monday to Friday during every school holiday with the exception of the Christmas period. We employ an average of 35 additional staff per year and over 9 volunteers to run the service. The summer is a busy period and this year was no exception as we welcomed over 1930 children to our Care Scheme during the six week period. Our leaders are fully qualified who have experience of working with children in their day to day jobs. Most of our staff work regularly during our Care Schemes who are familiar with our structure and policies and who know the children and parents/guardians. This means that we provide a warm and welcoming service to the children and parents. We provide continuous training opportunities for assisting staff throughout the year- from inductions courses, child protection, food hygiene and first aid. We are pleased to have trained 11 new staff with First Aid Level 3 before the summer. “Menter Caerdydd’s Care Schemes
have enabled me to remain in paid work this Summer which is invaluable as a single parent as my only other options would have been to take unpaid leave or send my child to an English medium scheme meaning her Welsh language skills on returning to school in September would have had a set back.”
Holiday Activities Since 2009 Menter Caerdydd has been working with Cardiff Council to provide extra-curricular activities through the medium of Welsh for children and young people in Cardiff during the school holidays. Over 80% of the children that attend Welsh medium schools in the city come from non-Welsh speaking homes. Services such as these are vital to develop the confidence of children to use their Welsh language skills in social settings outside the school environment. During the past year, over 997 children have attended a variety of activities, courses and workshops, and a total of 59 activities took place across the city. These activities varied from nature walks and workshops, cooking and baking courses, animations courses, pony trekking and rock climbing, various arts and craft courses, music and Dj workshops and a hold host of sports sessions across the city.
Following feedback from last year, one the greatest developments this year was to hold events in more diverse locations throughout the city, particularly in east and central Cardiff and also in the disadvantaged areas of the city. Many of the sessions and workshops have been held in Gabalfa, Splott and Fairwater. Our intention in the coming year is to develop provision in more focused areas of the city where children and young people have less access to using their Welsh Language skills during the school holidays and were a high population of children come from non-welsh speaking backgrounds. Our pilot area for this service in 2016/17 will be East Cardiff.
We are inspected on an annual basis by the CSSIW and yearly reports from the inspectors identified; “Overall, we (CSSIW) found that the diverse needs of the children were at the heart of this service. They received appropriate care to meet their individual needs, which was given in a relaxed, pleasant environment...Parents can be confident that the service is well run due to good leadership and management. The children were encouraged by the staff to express their feelings and opinions throughout group activities...”
“Great child care provider- each day different fabulous activities- in particular loving the diverse day trips. Great value for money”
“Priceless in terms of the opportunity to socialise and do things that are fun, in Welsh.”
“It is an affordable way to access childcare and such a bonus that they are in Welsh” 12
“Most parents work full time and organising child care throughout the summer can difficult. Also, all the other providers are through the medium of English, this is a chance for the children to use and practice their Welsh during the long holiday period” 13
Adult Social and Accredited Courses During the past year we have organised 18 weekly social courses for adult’s learners in partnership with Cardiff Council in numerous locations across the city. A total of 277 attended the courses, with an average of 15 in each class. There was a great variety of courses on offer, including Poetry, yoga, fitness, photography, languages, sewing and music. The funding for this service has discontinued from April 2016 onwards since Welsh Government targets for Adult Leaners has changed focus. Following a consultation period, and due to the positive feedback Menter Caerdydd are still committed to continuing this service on a smaller scale ensuring that the courses that are run are cost neutral to us. We have targeted courses for the past year that have a very large attendance rate and therefore no negative financial implication to us as a provider.
“Menter Caerdydd is an especially good service. It creates fantastic opportunities for Welsh people to come together to learn new skills, meet new people and to socialise in Welsh. By the way the Ukelele lessons are brilliant! I love every Monday evening”
Accredited Training Courses for Adults Since 2012, in partnership with Cardiff Council, Menter Caerdydd offers a number of accredited training courses for adults. In partnership with a number of organisations, 15 courses were held – 8 of which were accredited – attracting a total of 150 learners. Some courses had to be cancelled due to lack of participants, which explains why the number of courses held is lower than the target of 18. The courses included: first aid, promoting positive behaviour, food hygiene, manual handling, dealing with challenging individuals, principles of play and Welsh grammar workshop. The feedback to these courses has been extremely positive, with trainees feeling that the courses offer a welcoming and safe atmosphere, and a high percentage gain accreditation, knowledge, skills and confidence. Also, importantly, many of these courses are available in Welsh for the first time.
“I think the services offered by Menter Caerdydd are great. I wish they were as good in other places in Wales. As a learner I think Menter’s approach of doing activities through Welsh is much more appealing than learning Welsh by endlessly thinking and talking about learning Welsh (which can happen in a formal ‘lessons’ setting).”
“I think that Menter Caerdydd offers an invaluable service in offering such a variety of Welsh language courses. Thank you!” 14
Menter Caerdydd’s Welsh Language Profile
Cardiff has 36,735 Welsh speakers, which is 11.1% of the population
During the year Menter Caerdydd commissioned Nico (iaith) Cyf to create a new Welsh language Profile for the Cardiff. The profile examines the position of the Welsh language in the City and how Welsh speakers in the area use the Welsh language in their communities. The aim was to look at the context of the Welsh language today and recommend ways of increasing opportunities for Welsh speakers to use the language in the future. The report will assist Menter Caerdydd to plan strategically and operate as an influential partner as organisations are faced with meeting the statutory requirements in relation to the Welsh language in their areas. This profile is based on the 2011 Census statistics; the Welsh Government’s 2013-15 Language Use Survey; the Welsh Government Pupil Level Annual School Census 2015; Use of the Welsh Language in the Community Research Study, Bangor University 2015; with reference also to the results of a survey held in Mentrau areas in south east Wales during February and March 2016, with 733 responses. The conclusion that this profile has brought together includes; • key statistics of Welsh speakers in the area • the main statutory requirements relevant to the Menter’s key partners • a number of research findings on Welsh language patterns of use by Welsh speakers in the area • the results of the survey held as part of this work that highlight the experiences of Welsh speakers and learners in the area The key messages that emerge from the experiences of Welsh speakers, together with the formal data, highlight a number of areas that need to be addressed, for instance: • the need for more opportunities for young people to use their Welsh outside school and after leaving school (from leisure to the workplace) • the need for more experiences to increase the confidence and use of the language amongst learners and those Welsh speakers with little or no confidence to use their Welsh in new situations
Even though Welsh medium education provision is in itself an allimportant part of the effort to promote and increase Welsh language use, it is considered that Welsh language use in the workplace is essential in order to move towards a bilingual society. • the need for employers to recognise the value of the language for their workplaces, ensuring support for Welsh speakers • the need to ensure that the language is more prominent in the community in order to promote wider use – both the spoken word and visually The work of Menter Caerdydd is based on a sound understanding of its communities and the needs of its communities, and the Menter is able to address those needs in a creative and flexible way. The ability of Menter Caerdydd to respond innovatively to local needs through projects with partners old and new, is reflected clearly in the Tafwyl Festival and the Hen Lyfrgell development.
‘What’s important is Welsh language services, the cultural and social scene is fairly healthy’
According to the Language Use Survey almost three quarters of workers in the public sector thought their employer was supportive towards using Welsh compared to 41% in the private sector.

External Funding Sources
Yr Hen Lyfrgell The opening of Yr Hen Lyfrgell (Welsh Cultural Centre) in February 2016 following a successful Capital funding application from Cardiff Council to Welsh Government experienced for the first time in Cardiff a co-operative partnership between Welsh partners (under the leadership of Menter Caerdydd), Welsh Government, Cardiff Council and Cardiff Story Museum. “Yr Hen Lyfrgell” brings together a group of partner organisations committed to seeing the Welsh language grow in our capital city. Representing a wide range of sectors including private, public, not for profit, education, media, museum and community, the partners have worked in close collaboration on a shared vision. All want to see a high quality, modern centre in a historic setting which seeks to attract as many members of the public as possible through its doors to engage with the Welsh language at every level. It will offer a range of opportunities where people can use, learn, practice and hear Welsh in a social and inclusive setting. The Centre currently house an open space café bar, Welsh shop, learning rooms, The Cardiff Story museum, interactive spaces for children and young people, conference and meeting room space, exhibition & performance area and spaces for community groups to use. Menter Caerdydd are the key partner between the Welsh language partners and the Council and Welsh Government. We are also responsible for delivering a wide range of events and activities which attract people of all ages and backgrounds. These events during the first year of the Centre have proved successful and has succeeded in engaging with new audiences. Yr Hen Lyfrgell’s main aim during the year in partnership with Cardiff Council and Welsh Government is to create a welcoming centre in the city centre which celebrates, promotes and facilitates the language as a living language for all Cardiff’s citizens and visitors.
