(e)
Tabled on 09/06/2025
This Senedd:
1. Recognises Ysgol Gymraeg Llundain as:
a) an invaluable asset in creating new Welsh speakers through Welsh Medium Education;
b) a focal point in connecting and reconnecting diaspora families with their heritage; and
c) an important host of Welsh cultural events and a Welsh cultural beacon beyond the border.
2. Regrets the decision to withdraw its annual grant of £90,000 from March 2026.
3. Agrees that the closure of Ysgol Gymraeg Llundain would mean:
a) a loss of a deep-rooted community with a proven model of cultural and linguistic transmission; and
b) a valuable asset is lost for future generations.
