Pwllheli Area
This area is one of our priority areas as an Initiative. We held a community workshop in Botwnnog in March 2024 and that will be a basis for our plans in the area, jointly with local organisations and individuals.
We chose the area as a priority because of the visit from the Eisteddfod in 2023 and to try to create a continuous legacy of that hustle and bustle, and because of recent influx which meant that there was anecdotal evidence that the use of the Welsh language is deteriorating.
