Government Response to Culture Counts Members

Culture Counts received a letter from the Scottish Government thanking our members for their ongoing contribution to developing a better understanding of the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the culture sector. The letter also asks we provide further updates from members during this currently evolving and difficult time.

This is in addition to the initial Government response to our survey reports (which can be read here) which announced the additional £45million for the Scottish Welfare Fund.

The letter from Dr Heather Holmes, Creative Industries, Screen and Media Policy, can be read below.

Our survey to understand the impact of the pandemic on the sector remains open. Please continue to share with anyone working in the arts, screen, heritage & creative industries. Thanks to everyone who continues to input to our survey.
