02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
1.1 To foster understanding of Turkish language and culture amongst people of Turkish descent and to promote Turkish culture and language to the wider population 1.2 To foster a positive image of bi-culturalism amongst children and young people of joint British/Turkish heritage. and to provide opportunities for non-resident Turkish citizens to experience Scottish culture. Off note, as stated in the annual report, Speak Turkish has not been operating for over seven years and did not carry any activities since then, and the trustees were preparing to dissolve the charity. Speak Turkish decided to donate their remaining funds in small amounts a multiple of ~£500 to Turkish origin/heritage performers at the Edinburgh Fringe. Promoting Turkish arts and culture in Edinburgh is one of Speak Turkish’s core aims and this would allow Speak Turkish to support this cause and help the artists with their show expenses.
