02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Raise funds for, create and run a Gaelic Hub in Edinburgh. As yet we are at the planning stage. We have carried out a survey of people potentially interested in such a hub, asking what form they think it should take and what use they would make of it. The response has been very positive. As a means of both fund-raising and spreading awareness of our existence and purpose, we hold events, open to all, at which people can engage with a range of Gaelic interests, such as language lessons, literature, Gaelic board games and so on.. Hitherto we have been prioritising getting our legal and administrative structures right and ensuring we comply with all relevant requirements so that, when suitable premises have been identified, we will be equipped to pursue the same, whether on a lease or purchase basis.
