What is Menter Iaith?<\/h3>\n

Menter Iaith Conwy is one of the 22 Menter Iaith working across Wales to promote and develop the Welsh language at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n

The work of the Mentrau varies from county to county as we focus on different ways of providing opportunities for the public to use their Welsh, or to promote the language locally.<\/p>\n

We at Menter Iaith Conwy are also lucky to share an office with several members of the\u00a0Mentrau Iaith Cymru<\/a>\u00a0team, who drive the Mentrau Iaith network and lead on national projects.<\/p>\n

Our Office<\/h4>\n

We at Menter Iaith Conwy work from our office in the centre of the market town Llanrwst.<\/p>\n

We managed to purchase the town\u2019s old HSBC building \u2013 and this is our new office.<\/p>\n

We hope to continue to renovate the building on a floor-by-floor basis, so that more Welsh opportunities can be provided in the town. The hall on the top floor of the building is definitely an exciting project, and we\u2019re looking forward to getting the developments started.<\/p>\n
