ARFOR was a Programme working across Anglesey, Gwynedd, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire.

The purpose of the Programme was to support the creation of more and better paid jobs in the areas with a high proportion of Welsh speakers to encourage resilience and growth of the Welsh Language by realising plans through the objectives below:

• promoting enterprise and supporting business growth in areas with a high proportion of Welsh speakers
• securing more jobs and better paid jobs to retain local people in these areas and encourage those who have left to return
• promoting the value of speaking Welsh and bilingualism in businesses, thus creating a vibrant sense of place
• encouraging businesses and people who move to rural areas to value and use the Welsh language.

The ARFOR 2 Program is currently under development. As things become more active, there will be more updates here.
