THE Scottish Salmon Company has teamed up with National Theatre of Scotland to allow four theatre productions to tour primary schools across the country.
The independent salmon producer is sponsoring Theatre in Schools Scotland, which will benefit from a second year of sponsorship from the newly launched Culture & Business Fund Scotland.
The partnership previously received match funding from the New Arts Sponsorship Grants Programme, enabling a Scotland-wide tour school theatre tour to take place during late 2016.
The new fund, which matches business sponsorship of cultural activities pound for pound, is managed by independent charity Arts & Business Scotland and funded by the Scottish Government via Creative Scotland and Historic Environment Scotland.
Scottish Salmon Company CEO Craig Anderson said: “We’re really proud to be supporting the Theatre in Schools Scotland initiative for a second year. It has already brought enormous benefit to school children living in many of the remote and rural communities where we operate.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
