With a shared ambition to inspire young people to understand and consider STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and to make a meaningful contribution to Edinburgh’s communities, the impact of this ten-year long partnership has been significantly enhanced by match funding from the C&BS Fund.

Thanks to match funding from the C&BS Fund, not only was a brand new piece of music created – a piece emotive, relevant and highly accessible – but a short film recording its creation and performance was also created, providing a living legacy on the theme of climate change for both partners.

Thanks to an inspiring partnership and match funding from the C&BS Fund, visitors enjoyed exhibitions by 252 artists from 34 countries, and the Supported and Open Programmes element of the Festival saw audience visits rise by 26%.

Celebrating a project that more than reached its ambition to celebrate ‘people, place and performance’ by turning the spotlight on the community hall as a space in which to gather and unite and attracting a dazzling array of Scotland’s finest traditional musicians.

A vibrant community-based event that embraces the positive associations of light and hope, regeneration and rejuvenation, through an intriguing – and perhaps unexpected – culture and business partnership.

Thanks to the support of a local chiropractic firm, Dippy – the Natural History Museum’s Diplodocus skeleton cast – was supported on the Glasgow leg of its UK tour with a volunteer programme to deliver the public learning programme.

Perfectly balanced creative aspirations and commercial needs saw world-class theatre created in the heart of Scotland. Reaching an astonishing 32,900 audience members during a six-week, sell-out run in Edinburgh, the show then transferred to London’s Old Vic.

Having secured early support from DC Thomson and Brewin Dolphin, a commitment from NCR which was match funded by C&BS Fund secured the overall budget required to stage an ambitious project with the aim of shining a national and international spotlight on Dundee and the museum.
