Question

To ask the Scottish Executive what funds are available for organisations that want to promote or provide cultural activities for under-18s in Renfrewshire.


Answer

There are a variety of funds that organisations who want to promote or provide cultural activities for under-18s in Renfrewshire may access. In particular, Renfrewshire Council itself has responsibility for cultural activity in the local area and can support local organisations in that capacity. The National Performing Companies and National Collections have educational outreach activity which takes place in this area and Creative Scotland administers the Youth Music Initiative which provides musical funding for primary aged children, including those in this area. Creative Scotland also provides a fund-finding service to assist organisations in finding other funding sources. For further information on the services offered by Creative Scotland.
