Local MSP for the Linlithgow Constituency, Fiona Hyslop, has welcomed the announcement from Creative Scotland, which will see a record number of cultural organisations, including in West Lothian, receive stable, multi-year funding.
This funding will be available thanks to a significant commitment from the Scottish Government in the upcoming 2025/26 Scottish Budget.
Commenting Fiona said:
“This Scottish Budget will see the largest ever funding commitment for Scotland’s cultural sector with over £200 million being provided to 251 organisations over the next three years.
“The investment makes the Scottish Government’s commitment to the arts clear, reinforcing Scotland’s status as a global cultural leader, and also delivering economic benefits by supporting jobs, freelancers and creative workers across West Lothian.
“In West Lothian we value our culture sector and I am pleased to see local organisation, Fire Fly Arts Ltd being one of the 251 organisations being supported by this funding increase.”
