Llwyddo'n Lleol 2050 is a project that challenges the perception that you have to leave in order to succeed.
Overview
Llwyddo’n Lleol 2050 is a project run by Menter Môn and funded by the Welsh Government through the LEADER fund. The aim is to challenge the assumption that you have to leave the countryside to become successful and to show young people that are thinking about their futures that there are opportunities available in their local area. 35 young people have already received support through the project – many of these have gone on to establish successful businesses or have accepted permanent jobs in the area.
The emphasis is on entrepreneurship, employability and the development of professional skills. However, with priorities changing as a result of Covid19 there is also a clear message that lifestyle is important and that this is an ideal area to achieve work-life balance.
Over the coming months, Llwyddo’n Lleol 2050 will be calling on young people from Gwynedd and Anglesey to sign up again to take advantage of the new opportunities to receive support when venturing into employability or entrepreneurship. The scheme’s next programs will be promoted on Facebook and Instagram.
To learn more and to register interest, Menter Môn are encouraging young people between the ages of 18 and 30 who are originally from the Anglesey and Gwynedd area to contact Jade Owen at jade@mentermon.com and follow the scheme’s pages on social media.

Read a little about the group who have already been involved with Llwyddo’n Lleol over the summer of 2020 …
A group of 14 young entrepreneurs won their place on a 10-week scheme, helping them to plan, and think of their future. This included a £1000, as well as guidance and mentoring through the support of local experts, to develop an idea into a thriving business plan.
Visit our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram page to see and learn more about these fantastic group of young entrepreneurs.
We also have a range of podcasts you can tune into:

One of the next steps for Llwyddo’n Lleol 2050, is to support some of these individuals to pursue the development of their ventures. Through the support of Arloesi Môn & Gwynedd, the scheme will be able to provide and allow individuals paid time (1 day a weel for 6 months) to continue their business developments. They will be required to plan and present in advance what they will achieve on the appointed days, and report back monthly on their progress.
We are looking forward to continuing supporting the journeys of these young people in our local communities.
Llwyddo’n Lleol 2050 will continue to develop in several directions. We are currently in the process of planning another opportunity for a NEW COHORT of young entrepreneurs to take part in another 10-week scheme, which will be held in the new year. We are also exploring the possibilities of collaboration with other counties, to enhance and develop Llwyddo’n Lleol 2050 beyond Gwynedd and Anglesey. Already, we are working with various partnerships, to ensure that the young people in our area have access to information, service, support and discussions related to succeeding and living a full locally. We would like to develop this collaboration further, with whomever, wherever possible.
Exciting work is underway – keep your eyes and ears open!
