Forty associate organisations will benefit from one day’s consultancy with a specialist adviser, who will conduct a mini-diagnostic and help organisations to develop their ideas further, either to action initiatives within their own resources or seek alternative sources of support to implement their plans.

A third group of Involved organisations will take a self-guided journey through digital development by accessing the free resources available from the AmbITion Scotland programme. Free events and online resources can be accessed by any arts organisation or creative business by exploring the project website and joining the social network.
