Just not good enough, the arts needs this essential funding. Many of our team rely on this fund to create essential and much needed work for young people #dobetter

[Morna Young @mornayoung]

I’m horrified by the news that Creative Scotland is closing the Open Fund for individuals. It’s a lifeline for many artists, one of the few places left to apply for support. This will have devastating consequences esp on the most vulnerable artists who are hanging on by a thread.

📸 This morning we caught up with our partners from @ScotParl's Participation and Communities Team @Engage_SP

🗨️ We discussed all things meaningful participation now that the #UNCRCScotland Act has came into force and how decision makers can engage with children and young people
