Creative Scotland has announced the Stay See Share Fund to support creative businesses, representatives of organisations and individuals in Scotland who are looking for ways to improve their future business sustainability.
It offers small grants for the research time needed to investigate a project, idea or another business and then share this learning to peers here in Scotland.
Previously, Creative Scotland has offered the opportunity for individuals, organisations and creative businesses to undertake trips to research and explore new ways to expand their business activity and make them more financially sustainable through the Go See Share fund. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, it is unclear when international travel will be appropriate, but they still want to provide the opportunity to gain knowledge, and insight from others and then safely share this knowledge with peers in Scotland.
