We've joined with other Scottish culture orgs to launch a new campaign #InvestInCulture - calling on on the Scottish Gov to follow through on their promise of long-term sustainable funding for the arts by increasing sector investment annually by ‘at least’ £100m by 2028/29

Please listen to us @AngusRobertson@JohnSwinney
Yes funds are going to the Arts but you need to understand that the Open Fund is where it starts. You can't just fund the top end. We know funds aren't limitless, but there has to better solutions here. #NoArtWithoutArtists

🚨 BREAKING: Emergency campaign launched to avert “cultural catastrophe” by ensuring Scottish Government reverses latest cuts & delivers its £100 commitment to new arts investment. 🚨
Full details & reaction: https://t.co/BfUxlBh3hO @TheScotsman@scotsman_arts@culturescotgov
FST is dismayed by this and calls on the @scotgov to immediately confirm funding, resist in-year cuts to @CreativeScots and reverse this devastating situation which disproportionately targets our already fragile freelance community.
@FirstinGlasgow Thanks, yes, arrived according to the website and timetabled times, and the tracker. With Scotrail running a reduced timetable, it was a bit alarming. Thanks for responding.
@FirstinGlasgow is there something wrong with your app? Showing none of my usual buses - 87, 88, 89 from Bishopbriggs - but they are on the website and other sites. Please tell me they are definitely running!
