Youth & The Lottery !
We have pleasure in announcing that the youth section of Menter Iaith has succeeded in securing a National Lottery grant to contribute towards a dedicated youth worker and to pay for activities for the young people of Rhondda Cynon Taf which contribute towards their personal development and their use of the Welsh language. The grant, for the sum of £78,763 over three years should go a long way to giving the county’s young people be they Welsh speaking or learning Welsh, the chance to enjoy a variety of different experiences.
