Who can apply?

This Creative Scotland Youth Led Fund supports creative projects by young people aged 8-30 in Scotland who have experience of isolation or marginalisation

Below you will find the definitions of isolation and marginalisation this fund is working with, and checklists for individuals and groups who are thinking of applying

What do we mean by isolation or marginalisation?

  • Isolation
    • Isolation is the state of feeling alone and without friends or help
    • It is a feeling of loneliness due to emotional, geographic, economic social or other factors 
    • Isolation is something that prevents participation that is not by choice
    • It affects people who are isolated by circumstance or as a cause effect of marginalisation, location and ability. Intersectionality should always be considered in association with isolation as multiple factors can cause a compounded isolation effect
  • Marginalisation
    • To marginalise a group of people means to make them feel isolated and unimportant
    • A community that has been historically discriminated against by society or for political gain, and systemic issues around accessibility. Marginalisation can cause individuals in a group to be isolated and this is where intersectionality comes in.
    • Marginalisation is something that prevents participation that is not by choice
    • People living in the margins in society having fallen in between the cracks or being let down by the system 
    • People that have faced limitations based on the system that we live in
