Gaelic Officers Scheme Opened to Applications
Bòrd na Gàidhlig has opened the Gaelic Officers funding scheme to support community-based organisations to employ an officer to undertake Gaelic development work.
This round of the scheme is focussed on creating stronger and more visible impact from posts in supporting Gaelic usage in communities. In particular, we want to support increased partnership working, better assessment of language outcomes and further professional training and support for officers.
Applications are welcomed from registered Scottish charities or community interest companies registered in Scotland who are looking to create a new post, or to extend an existing Gaelic development post.
The scheme is suitable for posts that will:
- Support day-to-day use of Gaelic in communities
- Further develop the rollout and implementation of community Gaelic language plans
- Support Gaelic centres and activity within them
- Engage in partnership working between organisations in delivering Gaelic services
We will be delivering four information sessions to provide an opportunity for those interested in applying for funding to ask any questions you may have and learn more about the scheme. Two of the sessions will be delivered in Gaelic and the other two will be delivered in English.
- Tuesday, 13th May at 2pm (Gaelic)
- Tuesday, 13th May at 7pm (English)
- Monday, 19th May at 11am (Gaelic)
- Monday, 19th May at 7pm (English)
You can register for these information sessions through Eventbrite here.
The deadline for applications is 3pm on Thursday, 5th June 2025. If you would like to speak to us about the scheme or your application, please contact tabhartas@gaidhlig.scot.
