It can be an intensely stressful time for our literary organisations, awaiting the outcome. It's great to see our friends doing impactful work in literature receive their multi-year funding news today!

Joining the chorus of voices in the Scottish arts scene: thank you so much to Brian Ferguson, who has asked the important questions loudly through these difficult few years and strongly advocated for the culture sector. It's made a huge difference & we are so grateful!
