ABOUT COLMCILLE
[Image - Logo: colmcille]
Colmcille was set up in 1997 with funding from the Governments of Scotland, Northern Ireland and the
Republic of Ireland with a remit to 'create a vibrant interactive community spanning Ireland and Scotland'.
We aim to do this is two ways:
1. Giving grant funding to projects that meet our strategic aims and
2. Organising our own projects that raise awareness of the shared heritage of the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Colmcille's Goals
Promoting the use of the Gaelic languages -Irish and Scottish Gaelic-in and between Ireland and Scotland
Raising awareness of the shared Gaelic heritage -language and culture- of Northern Ireland, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland
Four Strategic Priorities
2006-9
1. Review of grants policy to ensure Colmcille has robust policies, procedures and staffing in place to assist team to deliver on its new priority objectives
2. Implementation of new Communications Strategy focussing on differentiation or ‘stand out’ and raising the profile of Colmcille and its work in all three jurisdictions both “on the ground” and at the highest levels of administration.
3. Focus on Flagship Projects and Winning Themes (a narrower range of activities with clear key themes) for all projects on which Colmcille can make an impact (i.e. grow stakeholder/membership base) and achieve ‘stand out’ and achieve Colmcille’s main goal.
4. Rationalisation of Financial, Legal and Administrative support to ensure Colmcille has robust systems and staffing structures in place to assist team to deliver on its new priority objectives and a roadmap for future sustainable development
