The need for a fair and balanced independent broadcaster in Scotland has never been greater, however, to add to our funding challenges, we have now moved to new studio premises in Stirling and that is why we set a target to raise £30,000, to enable us complete the move as seamlessly as possible, so we can increase our programme output in this most important year ahead for news in Scotland. Please donate whatever you can afford.
