Welcome to your October newsletter

This month we've announced the 50 creative and cultural projects receiving National Lottery support through the Open Fund, including a new album from award-winning musician Colin MacIntyre, to be recorded at the former home of his grandfather, Scottish poet and Bard of Mull, Angus MacIntyre.

Also in store for you this month is an opportunity to work with us as a partner organisation delivering a new Youth-Led fund, a new practical handbook for employers and small businesses to support fairer work in the creative sector, and a report just published on the impact of our Climate Beacons project.

Plus, we've got all the top news and latest funding opportunities from across Scotland!
