Grant News
Voluntary and third-sector early years groups in Scotland can apply for a share of £100,000 in funding to deliver sessions for children aged 0-3 through the medium of Gaelic.
The funding, which is being made available by Bòrd na Gàidhlig through the Gaelic Early Years Grants scheme, will help to encourage and increase the day-to-day use of Gaelic, and to encourage continuity into Gaelic education.
Groups that deliver 1 session per week can apply for a maximum of £4,000, while groups that deliver more than 1 session per week can apply for a maximum of £15,000. For applications where an organisation is applying to deliver multiple early years groups, up to £20,000 can be requested.
All costs must relate to the running of Gaelic early years groups only. This can include wages of Gaelic-speaking playleaders, venue rent and venue costs.
The deadline for applications is 3pm on 30 June 2026.
