Antur Aelhaearn Limited

The UK's first community cooperative, set up to stem the tide of people deserting a small village in north Wales, is celebrating its 30th birthday. Antur Aelhaearn in Llanaelhaearn on the Lleyn Peninsula, was set up by most of the 210 villagers desperate to rejuvenate the declining local economy. The co-operative set up a knitting business and a pottery, and were able to create training and work opportunities for local people
