Petitions4

This petition was submitted by Glenys Roberts, having collected a total of 1,837 signatures.

Text of petition:

The Welsh Government has announced that it will be withdrawing its annual grant of £90,000 from March 2026. Without this funding the school will be forced to close, dismantling the most effective tool for promoting the Welsh language in London.

Additional information:

This grant comes from the 'Welsh 2050' strategy, which aims to reach one million Welsh speakers by 2050. The Welsh Government has said that this £90k will still be used to promote the language in London, but has not provided details about how. It is clear that the best way to promote any language is to educate the next generation of fluent speakers. The school is recovering from the effects of covid, and is growing in numbers. Now is the time to invest in it's future, not to cut funding.
