Our Vision 

The vision of the Ulster-Scots Agency is that the rich, vibrant identity of the Ulster-Scots community should be recognised, respected and embraced at home and abroad.
 

Our Mission 

The Ulster-Scots Agency will inspire, educate and empower people and communities in Ulster to embrace their Ulster-Scots identity, build kinship with those outside Ulster who share our identity and friendship with those inside Ulster who do not.

Our Strategic Goals

The Ulster-Scots Agency builds its work around three key business objectives: Inspire, Empower, and Engage. These are underpinned by a shared organisational objective: Improve

  • ENGAGE: The Agency will support the development of the Ulster-Scots sector so that it is vibrant, effective and connected.
  • IMPROVE: The Agency will work to continuously improve the systems and processes that underpin our delivery of services and stewardship of public money.
