Details

Go See Share is a small fund for individuals, organisations and creative businesses to explore new ways to expand their business activity and make them more financially sustainable.

The aim of this fund is to help recipients undertake trips or remote meetings, allowing them to gain knowledge and insight, build relationships, and to share this knowledge back in Scotland.

They are looking to support visits that will help you to consider the ways you could expand your business activity and increase your economic sustainability. This learning should also help the creative communities you will share with to do the same. Examples include:

  • Local, national and international trips to see examples of best practice or new business models in operation
  • Remote meetings which help you to research best practice or alternative business models
  • Relevant event, festival, and professional development opportunities that will support your business development, business practices or business sustainability
  • Visits to a person, organisation or business, to explore new ways of working

Funding can be used to support business sustainability, such as:

  • Travel and accommodation costs
  • Relevant event or conference tickets
  • Time to attend meetings with other businesses or individuals you feel you can learn from
  • Time to prepare presentations and materials for sharing

Proposed activity should take place between May to October 2025.
