OUR VISION FOR 2030

Gaelic is heard and seen all across Uist on a daily basis – in homes, at work,at community events and in public services.

Children grow up speaking Gaelic naturally – at home and at school.

Young people see a future for themselves in Uist that includes Gaelic.

Visitors and new residents see and understand that Gaelic is part of life in Uist.

Public bodies and local organisations proactively support and promote Gaelic.

Managing the Plan

The Uist Gaelic Stakeholder Group will oversee Plana Gàidhlig Uibhist, meeting quarterly to review progress, update actions, and respond to new opportunities. This regular review will keep the plan active and relevant, allowing it to adapt as local circumstances change. The Group will also include a representative of the Gaelic Youth Forum, once established.

www.planauibhist.scot will act as a central point for updates, practical tools, and examples of what’s working. It will also help individuals, groups, and organisations find ways to contribute or lead on particular actions.

Social media and regular updates in Am Pàipear will help keep Plana Gàidhlig Uibhist visible and connected to the wider community.

Local ambassadors will be appointed across the islands to encourage progress and to share progress on social media.

The aim is steady, continuing and practical progress and not just a one-off campaign soon put aside. By involving individuals, communities, and working closely with local organisations and public bodies, we can create the conditions for Gaelic to be more present and more widely used in everyday life across Uist.
