2009
In January 2009 we launched a new project to promote the use of Gaelic in the community.
The aim of the project was to increase the use of spoken Gaelic in everyday activities both in the home and in the wider community. As well as organising social events for Gaelic speakers and learners the project held weekly informal language classes for parents or carers and children.
We employed a part-time Project Worker to deliver the project by working alongside both fluent Gaelic speakers and complete beginners.
The project successfully contributed towards significant increases in attendance at other local Gaelic activities and generally renewed interest in the Gaelic language locally.
