Our vision is for a Scotland where culture thrives, is celebrated, and enriches social, civic and economic lives. And our mission, therefore, is to be the connector between the culture and business sectors; to enable, inspire and support exciting and mutually beneficial cross-sector relationships, to build knowledge, skills and support where they’re needed most, and to champion the impact and value of cultural experiences on all of our lives.
Supported by the Scottish Government, the C&BS Fund is a programme which makes investments to not-for-profit organisations when they have a for-profit business organisation sponsoring cultural activity.
Led by industry experts and delivered online and in-person throughout the year, our extensive Training and Events programme ranges from short lunchtime webinars to two-day training courses.
From junior to mid-level to senior positions, and from intern to board opportunities, if you’re looking to work in the culture sector – or want to advertise a post in your organisation – this is the place to be. Applications and advertisements from both members and non-members of C&BS welcome!
Read the success stories emerging from C&BS Fund supported projects and pick up toolkits and tips on a host of topics. You’ll find our Culture Commentary and News Archive here too.

When you picture the average boardroom, you might imagine a group of experienced professionals with long careers behind them – and of course, veterans in their fields have much to offer their respective boards. Yet there’s also an acute need to diversify, to expand, and to unite individuals from a range of professional (and life) backgrounds to ensure that the boardroom is ultimately able to not only be sustained but to remain dynamic and energised.
