We are thrilled to be joining other fantastic arts companies as a Creative Scotland Multi-Year funded organisation. A huge and much-needed boost to the breadth and stability of our programme and the thousands of young people we work with, as well as recognition of the work and talent of our team.
PACE has secured £391,667 from Creative Scotland's for 2025-28. This will be integral to the expansion of our performance, participation and creative development programmes, realising our vision of young people from all backgrounds benefitting from creativity and culture.
