һƷ̽»¨ÂÛ̳Society has its roots in Wales. It was in Wales that Mary Jones made her famous walk to buy a һƷ̽»¨ÂÛ̳in her own language – Welsh – and her determination to own a һƷ̽»¨ÂÛ̳she could read for herself inspired Revd Thomas Charles and others to establish the British and Foreign һƷ̽»¨ÂÛ̳Society in 1804.
Today we are still working to bring the һƷ̽»¨ÂÛ̳to life for both the Welsh-speaking and English-speaking populations in Wales. We are the main publisher of the һƷ̽»¨ÂÛ̳in Welsh, we have an active Welsh-speaking and English-speaking team, and our visitor centre in Llanycil, Bala, is making the story of Mary Jones, Thomas Charles, and һƷ̽»¨ÂÛ̳Society known to a new generation of tourists, and school groups.
We’re bringing the һƷ̽»¨ÂÛ̳to life in Wales, where the һƷ̽»¨ÂÛ̳Society began over 200 years ago, with contemporary Welsh translations, performing arts and an award-winning visitor centre.
һƷ̽»¨ÂÛ̳Society is the main publisher of the Welsh Bible. In 2014 the Beibl Cymraeg Newydd gyda Mynegair was published, and 2015 saw the publication in print of the newest Welsh һƷ̽»¨ÂÛ̳translation.
