Strengthening Gaelic across Uist will come from taking both small and big steps to use the language more often \u2014 and from working together.<\/p>

The Voluntary Gaelic Workplace Charter gives organisations an opportunity to make a practical commitment to Gaelic as a living language in everyday working and community life. It supports the core purpose of the Uist Gaelic and Community Plan: to protect, strengthen and grow Gaelic for current and future generations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Charter provides a simple and flexible framework for organisations or businesses that want to increase the use and visibility of Gaelic.<\/p>

It is voluntary, inclusive and achievable. You do not need to be a Gaelic orientated organisation, . Whether people in your organisation or business speak Gaelic, are learning, know a few words or simply want to support the language, everyone has a role to play.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

By adopting a Charter, organisations commit to:

<\/p>

  • Protecting, strengthening and growing Gaelic in Uist<\/li>
  • Recognising Gaelic as an important part of Uist’s cultural, social and economic life<\/li>
  • Promoting the use and visibility of Gaelic in their work and communications<\/li>
  • Supporting employees, service users and customers who wish to use Gaelic<\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    The actions can be different for every organisation. The aim is to find realistic ways to use Gaelic more often, build confidence and make the language feel natural in everyday life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Organisations adopting a Charter can display the \u201cNeart sa Gh\u00e0idhlig\u201d logo as a visible sign of their support.<\/p>

    It shows that Gaelic is welcome, valued and encouraged, and that your organisation is part of a growing network helping to raise the profile of Gaelic from Eriskay to Berneray.<\/p>

    Every action matters \u2014 from a Gaelic greeting or sign to using Gaelic in meetings, communications or services. Together, these small steps can make a real difference.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
