ARFOR – Llwyddo’n Lleol 2050 is here to show you that exciting opportunities and an exciting future are available here in Wales’ western areas.
ARFOR is a joint programme with the Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Gwynedd and Anglesey County Councils looking at using entrepreneurship and developing the economy to support the Welsh Language strongholds and, by doing so, sustaining the language.
Llwyddo’n Lleol 2050Â is one of the ARFOR Programme’s projects. With the emigration of families and young people being recognised as one of the main reasons for the decline in the number of Welsh speakers in these strongholds. Llwyddo’n Lleol 2050’s aim is to persuade young people and families who are at risk of leaving, or have already left, that having a bright future is possible, with a good job within an exciting field in their native community.
