Why support the Urdd?

All our activities, local and national, are dependent on securing funding, and on the support of our members and volunteers.

Since establishing in 1922 the Urdd has played a crucial role in promoting the Welsh language among the children and young people of Wales.

We aim to provide unforgettable experiences for children and young people, giving them opportunities to develop important social and personal skills, to socialize and to use Welsh in friendly, exciting environments.

Perhaps most important of all, taking part in Urdd activities has given generations of children opportunities to make lifelong friends and memories.

As a charity, we wouldn't be able to continue with our work without generous support from a wide range of sources including membership fees, donations, corporate sponsorship and government grants.

Diolch yn fawr - thank you for your support.
