Sistema Scotland’s vision is to thrive together through music. Working with children, young people and their families, we focus on early intervention and stimulating generational social change.

Along with a proven track record of raising significant income for charities, you will have experience of composing complex and compelling applications to corporate funders and trusts, and experience of identifying and researching funding opportunities.
