We are about moving Ulster-Scots forward
and ensuring that our culture , heritage and traditions are valued by all. The organisation initially focused on peace building and capacity building within the Counties Tyrone, Londonderry and Donegal. In 2009 in consultation with the community, we redefined our strategic objectives focusing on Omagh and Strabane District Council areas. We have therefore sought to focus on the following strategic objectives. • The development of Ulster-Scots culture, heritage and traditions in West Tyrone • Support and empower the Ulster-Scots community to play a positive role in the cultural life of West Tyrone. • Build the capacity of the Ulster-scots community through networking and education. By developing the Ulster-Scots culture, heritage and traditions in West Tyrone we are seeking to increase awareness about and the understanding of Ulster-Scots language and traditions. Our strategic aims also seek to enhance the contribution that Ulster-Scots language and culture can make towards developing cultural identity, creating respect for cultural diversity and stimulating social cohesion. Derry & Raphoe Action seeks to ensure that the Ulster-Scots community in West Tyrone offer to all a vibrant, energetic, rich Ulster-Scots culture and identity which in turn can play a positive role in building a better place for us all to live in.
