This week’s featured Welsh word is Caredigrwydd (pronounced: ka-reh-DIG-roo-ith), meaning kindness.

The word reflects the values of care, compassion, and generosity towards others. Even the smallest act of caredigrwydd can make a meaningful and lasting difference in someone’s day. In Welsh culture, it represents the importance of community spirit, empathy, and supporting one another – timeless principles that remain relevant today.

Our members are encouraged to practise caredigrwydd in everyday activities. Simple actions can help create a more positive and inclusive environment:

• Including others by inviting them to join games or group activities, particularly those who may feel left out
• Using kind and respectful language, such as saying “please”, “thank you”, and offering compliments
• Helping others with tasks, whether it be schoolwork or shared activities
• Listening carefully and showing respect for others’ thoughts and feelings
• Sharing fairly and taking turns when using equipment or space.

Everyone is encouraged to embrace caredigrwydd and contribute to a supportive and welcoming environment for all.
