Grant applications: using and promoting the Welsh language
Projects that receive NRW grant funding will need to provide and publish information in both Welsh and English.
Providing information bilingually helps promote the project across all communities in Wales, engages people in their language of choice and treats both languages equally from the start.
What you must produce in Welsh and English
If you produce any of the following, they must be in both Welsh and English:
- Letters
- Posters
- Leaflets
- Newsletters
- Adverts
- Website
- Films
- A formal report about the project
What you may need to deliver bilingually
Your project may involve some promotion work including:
- dealing with public enquiries
- giving interviews to media/social media
- giving presentations
- working with schools, vulnerable or disabled people
If so, you'll need to consider the linguistic nature of the community and the audience you'll be working with, or hope to reach. Think about whether you need a Welsh speaker to deliver elements of your project bilingually.
Include costs in your project budget
When you apply for grant funding, you'll need to include the costs of working bilingually in your project budget. These could be for translating:
- public/promotional materials
- websites or web designers
- adverts (including job adverts)
- meetings and public events
