Evaluation Report
Fund Info
BEMIS Scotland in collaboration with the Scottish Government is delighted to continue the themed years programme and invite multicultural communities across Scotland to join the celebration of the Year of Young People 2018, 2018/19 Scottish Winter Festivals, and the new St Andrew’s Fair Saturday Festival
Our call this year is for communities across Scotland to showcase the best of their talents and cultural identities across our shared communities. Scotland’s diversity is a strength and we want to help you celebrate that over the Year of Young People 2018 and Scotland’s Winter Festivals.
This year we have an exciting new opportunity: The St Andrew’s Fair Saturday Festival.
This will take place on Friday 30th November – Saturday 1st December. This new festival is happening in venues across Europe and we have teamed up with our colleagues from the Fair Saturday Foundation in Bilbao, Spain to bring this to Scotland. The Fair Saturday Foundation – like BEMIS – believe that arts and culture can be instrumental in making the world a better place.
We have two requirements to join this global movement:
- We embrace the message of arts and culture as a way of bringing communities together in common international human bond and ensure our events are open to all.
- You nominate a charity of your choice who would benefit can benefit from your event. This could be from a raffle or any other way of fundraising. If your organisation are a charity you could raise money for an existing or new project. There is no minimum or maximum amount you must raise.
If you want more information about the St Andrews Fair Saturday Festival or have any ideas about what you’d like to do, please contact us at standrewsfairsaturday@bemis.org.uk
