Seven families are returning to their roots as part of the Ymgartrefu initiative of Llwyddo’n Lleol, a pilot scheme funded through the Welsh Government’s ARFOR programme. The project aims to help people return to Welsh-speaking heartlands in the ARFOR region (Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Gwynedd, and Anglesey) by providing financial and practical support. The scheme is already transforming lives, making the dream of moving home a reality.

The hope is that collaboration between Llwyddo’n Lleol and the student scheme in Scotland can highlight that it is possible to develop a successful career in minority languages, strengthening local economies and building a future where culture and language can continue to thrive.

Lleisiau Lleol, a new podcast from the ARFOR Llwyddo’n Lleol project, will launch on February 4, 2025. Produced as part of the ARFOR program, this series explores life, work, and community in the ARFOR regions, celebrating the stories of individuals who choose to thrive locally.

Local entrepreneur Richard Holt, the man behind Mr Holt’s Chocolate, Mônuts, and Melin Llynon, recently opened a Chocolate Factory in Llangefni, Anglesey and has employed local talent to join the business.
