You are required to create an account within our brand-new online system, ‘Y Porth’, before joining the Urdd. ‘Y Porth’ will enable parents, schools, and clubs to create an account, process their membership with the Urdd and view their details easily. ‘Y Porth’ will be developed over the coming months to include all the Urdd’s activities, so that everything can be accessed in one central place, from membership to payment details, registration for local activities and competing in the Eisteddfod.

As a charity, we need to protect our income as much as possible, and whilst reviewing our systems, we found that a different supplier would save us a percentage of each payment.

Paypal didn’t work for everyone either. Our new supplier offers a simpler way for everyone to pay for our services. We are also in the process of adding ApplePay and GooglePay as payment options.

Every Branch Leader will receive an e-mail in early September with a special code to Y Porth. If the e-mail hasn’t reached them, please contact us: aelodaeth@urdd.org

• Sports: Rugby, swimming, football, basketball, gymnastics... There’s all sorts of sport clubs, activities and competitions available through the medium of Welsh.

Yes, you must be an Urdd member to take part in our activities. But our brand-new system, Y Porth, makes the membership process simpler than ever.

Your membership number and details can be found by logging into Y Porth. You will also receive an e-mail confirming the membership number once your membership has been processed.

Ask your school’s Urdd branch for your child’s membership number. Alternately, you can create an account within our new online system, Y Porth, and apply for access to your child’s membership numbers via the portal (the school must give permission to release this data).

We’ll post your membership badge as soon as possible, but it could take up to 4 weeks during our busiest times of the year.

Yes – children of all ages can become an Urdd member. However, most of our activities are aimed at children and young people between 8 and 25 years of age.

The Maldwyn Urdd Eisteddfod will be held during the week of the Whitsun half term holiday, 27 May – 1 June 2024. Click here for further information about the Urdd Eisteddfod.
