Our Go & See Fund is open all year, covering the costs of show tickets for freelancers based in Scotland working in the young audiences sector. We have a pot of £3,000 each financial year to support as many tickets as possible for as many freelancers as possible. In order to spread this out, each person can apply for up to £100 per financial year to cover show ticket costs (travel and access costs are separate).
