Our Founder bumped into Stirling Council leader, Gerry McGarvey today whilst visiting the Mary Queen of Scots casket exhibit.

Good to hear they were on the same page about promoting Stirling's culture and heritage on what Stirling can offer to a wider audience.

We have been working away in the background since 2022, on how and when to bring back The Sruighlea Festival.

As we look to take advantage of the May bank holiday weekend, Stirling’s food, drink and live music festival will return on Saturday 2nd May 2026.

Our My Scotland project is a digital media vocational training programme for young people aged 16+.

A tourism reference website created by young people for young people.

Businesses can support this programme delivery based on their location in Scotland. Contact us for more details.

We have provided vocational training to support young people aged 16+ for 12 years.

Lack of grant funding for our employability programmes means we need to generate more income through our service delivery.

For the first time, we sold enough tickets at one of the events we deliver, that the social profits we generated meant we could fund future programme delivery.
