Grants for World Gaelic Week Events (Scotland)

Grants of up to £500 are available for individuals, community groups, schools and organisations who are looking to celebrate Gaelic in their community.

The Small Grants Fund, delivered by Bòrd na Gàidhlig, supports community-led activities during Seachdain na Gàidhlig (World Gaelic Week) at the end of February 2025.

Successful applicants can use the funding to deliver inclusive events and initiatives that promote Gaelic in their local communities.

The objectives of the Fund are to:

  • Celebrate the theme of ‘Building Connections’ through Gaelic
  • Promote interest and participation in Gaelic
  • Increase opportunities to experience Gaelic
  • Strengthen and broaden the network of people engaging with Gaelic.
  • Raise the profile of Gaelic locally, nationally, and worldwide
  • Ensure activities are inclusive and accessible to as many people as possible

Performances and concerts, pop-up Gàidhealtachd, languages cafes, online gaming, school projects, and craft groups are examples of events and activities that could be considered.

The closing date for applications is the 31st October 2024.
