Menter Iaith Sir Ddinbych\u2019s work was recently celebrated at its annual general meeting, as the Chair, Bethan Cartwright, congratulated staff and volunteers on engaging with nearly 5,000 individuals through the medium of Welsh during 2025\u201326.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chair said: \u201cOur team of staff and volunteers must be congratulated for their work over the past twelve months. It has been a very good year for Menter Iaith, with so much activity and so many opportunities for people to use Welsh within their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe year began with an important step as we moved to our new office, Y Farchnad Fenyn, in the centre of Denbigh. It is wonderful to see that Menter Iaith users and the wider community now recognise our new home at Llain y Capel \u2013 the striking copper building in the heart of Denbigh\u2019s market town.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another notable event during the year was the appointment of a new Community Development Officer. Erin Aled, 23, from Llanuwchllyn, joined the team after graduating from Aberystwyth University with a BA degree in Professional Welsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs our task is to look back at the year in our annual meeting, it is fair to say that Erin has well and truly settled into the role by now,\u201d said Chief Officer, Ruth Williams. \u201cShe is a valuable asset to our small team of staff, and everyone has welcomed and supported her as she develops in the role.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annual meeting, held this year at the Assembly Room at Ruthin Town Hall, also provided an opportunity to welcome a new member to the Menter Iaith Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a great pleasure to welcome Dr Kathryn Jones from language company \u2018Iaith\u2019 as a new trustee to the board,\u201d explained Bethan Cartwright. \u201cKathryn brings a wealth of experience in language research, language policy, and language awareness within minority languages, both here in Wales and further afield. A very warm welcome to Kathryn.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past year, Menter Iaith Sir Ddinbych has worked tirelessly to promote the Welsh language and offer opportunities for children, young people, and adults to use Welsh in their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is heartening to see the impact Menter Iaith Sir Ddinbych\u2019s work is having within Denbighshire\u2019s communities. Creating opportunities, supporting organisations, and connecting people through the medium of Welsh is vital to ensuring that the language continues to be used and thrives in our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
