Welcome to your January newsletter

Welcome to our first newsletter of 2022! We hope it's not too late to say Happy New Year, as we bring you news of crucial funding support for cultural organisations impacted by COVID-19 and the announcement of Scottish Government funding for YMI that will help kids across the country get musical. 

We also have this month's Open Fund recipients, exciting upcoming events on caregiving, crowdfunding and support for UK Black music creators, plus the latest funding opportunities from across Scotland.
