  • Bòrd na Gàidhlig: Gaelic Officers Scheme

    Created: 19/05/2025
    News/Events Category: Funding and Finance


    Bòrd na Gàidhlig have opened a new round of funding for the Gaelic Officers Scheme to support community-based organisations to employ an officer to carry out Gaelic activity and development.

    This round of the scheme is focussed on creating stronger and more visible impact from posts in supporting Gaelic usage in communities. In particular, they want to support increased partnership working, better assessment of language outcomes and further professional training and support for officers.

    The scheme will support posts between 01 July 2025 and 31 March 2028 but, depending on your application, 1-year or 2-year support may be provided instead.

    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

    Who can apply?

    Applications are welcomed from registered Scottish charities or community interest companies registered in Scotland. The fund is open to organisations who have received funding support through the Gaelic Officers scheme who are looking to create a new post previously, as well as organisations that have not.

    How to apply

    Complete the application form available on the funder website and submit via e-mail.

    The closing date for applications is 3.00pm on Thursday 05 June 2025.
