Mae'r grant yn ganolog i ymrwymiad y Gweinidog i gael gwared â rhwystrau i ddysgu a sicrhau tegwch a rhagoriaeth i bob plentyn a pherson ifanc. Drwy dargedu plant sy'n derbyn gofal a dysgwyr sy'n gymwys i gael prydau ysgol am ddim, y nod yw helpu'r teuluoedd hynny sydd angen y cymorth mwyaf gyda'r costau hyn.
The grant is central to the Minister’s commitment to remove barriers to learning and ensure equity and excellence for all children and young people. Through targeting looked after children and learners eligible for free school meals, it aims to help those families most in need of help with these expenses.
