We are still £1500 short of the £3k we need for the deposit on our new studio lease and very far short of our £30k target to cover the costs of the move. Please donate whatever you can afford.
We are delighted our crowdfunder has raised over £1000 before Christmas. Just another £29k to reach our target. We need £3k for the deposit on the lease of our new studio and then we have to fit it out so we can begin regular broadcasting by the end of January.

The Prime Minister’s statement on immigration today will damage our economy, the NHS, social care and our universities. It ignores the need to boost Scotland’s working age population.
This sort of divisive language only plays into Nigel Farage’s hands.

Silence on Israel’s massacres of journalists is dangerous to all
International media’s reluctance to show solidarity with Palestinian journalists could backfire.

A day for reflection as Scotland says goodbye to former first minister, #AlexSalmond.
Every bit of Scottish/Gaelic culture movingly at Alex Salmond’s memorial in St Giles. Our songs, our poems in our Kirk - emotional heartfelt & epic. The Proclaimers Cap in Hand almost unbearably poignant. Tx to organisers & all performers. Message clear. Yes movement must unite
