This bequeathed fund is able to support Ministers who wish to study Gaelic for preaching purposes or to enable Gaelic learning projects within a parish. Church of Scotland Ministers of full-time word and sacrament can apply for funding. The fund is administered by Faith Action.

Awards for 2025 have now been allocated and the fund is now closed. Applications for 2026 will open in November.

Please do get in touch with us if you wish to discuss enquiries prior to application – ascend@churchofscotland.org.uk

A 300 word report on the impact of the work should be submitted along with receipts.
