In addition to representing our members’ interests with funders and UK and Scottish governments, FST also provides secretariat functions for Culture Counts.
Culture Counts is the collective voice of Scotland’s Cultural Sector and Creative Industries. We survey data highlighting our value to Scottish society and the economy. Our role is to campaign on the issues impacting the sector at local, national and UK level.
Members are the major umbrella organisations across Scotland's arts, screen, heritage and creative industries. The group formed in 2011 to advocate for the value and importance of culture to life in Scotland.
Culture Counts is unincorporated. Our members agree policy and communications which are overseen by a Steering Group. Read our letters and reports submitted to policy makers and parliamentary committees here.
Culture Counts employs two people part-time: Jennifer Hunter, Executive Leader and Andy Robertson, Admin and Communications Manager - get their contact details here.
Culture Counts is the secretariat for the Cross Part Group on Culture at the Scottish Parliament. For more information visit the #CPGculture webpage.
