Create:Networks is a fund to help groups, organisations and creative practitioners create new, or develop existing, local creative networks as enablers for sustainable creative communities in Scotland.

The fund will support emerging and established creative networks to build and sustain their activities, supplemented through peer-sharing and network development support.

• Developing, managing and delivering the network activities;

• Providing information on and access to opportunities – local, UK and international;
• Supporting the creative network to develop its business plan and become sustainable long-term.
