The Active Offer Package of Support

The Active Offer Package of Support is here to help you implement more Welsh language into your services.

Living here in Wales, inclusiveness can be a big part of your organisations’ success, and offering your services in Welsh is a big step to fulfilling your promise to the Welsh speaking population.

The Active Offer is all about providing a service in Welsh without someone having to specifically ask for it.

As well as having a cultural impact you’ll also be complying with the Welsh Language Measure of 2011 that states, if you’re an organisation that receives funding from your local authority or health board, you are inclined to deliver, or, at least work towards an Active Offer within your organisations’ services.
