Identifying critical priorities for Scotland’s young audiences sector

28 January 2022

Client: Young Audiences Group Scotland

The Young Audiences Group Scotland comprises freelancers, regular and non-regularly funded organisations working with young audiences across Scotland.


In June 2021 the Group commissioned Culture Radar to help identify key needs and priorities for its ongoing work and campaigns through targeted desk research, sector mapping and consultation - taking into consideration the impact of COVID-19 on the young audiences’ infrastructure and workforce.


Culture Radar’s team for the project included sector and research experts Jim Tough and Ruth Stevenson. A final report published in January 2022 with recommendations for the Group’s future strategic development and activities.


You can read the mapping report and recommendations on the Starcatchers website here.
