Grants to help small rural businesses use the Welsh language

SMALL businesses in rural Carmarthenshire are being offered support to increase their use of the Welsh language.

Carmarthenshire County Council’s Iaith Gwaith initiative, funded by the UK Government’s Community Renewal Fund, is providing grants to help businesses raise the profile of the Welsh language in their branding, signage and marketing materials.

Small businesses and community organisations located in, or locating to, rural parts of the county can apply for the grant which will pay up to half of the eligible costs up to a maximum of £3,000.

Applications need to be made by the end of May 2022, but the funding is being made available on a first-come first-served basis and early applications are advisable.
