PART 2 – CONSULTATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS – A “stakeholder” is any person or

organisation affected by the company’s activities. Please indicate who the company’s stakeholders are; how the stakeholders have been consulted and what action has the company taken in response to feedback from its consultations. If there has been no consultation you must state ‘There has been no stakeholder consultation held’.

The company’s stakeholders are emerging artists based in Scotland; during this financial year we have primarily focused on those based in Glasgow. The directors of the company are all emerging artists, arts administrators and facilitators themselves and are deeply embedded in the community we support.

During this financial year we ran two focus groups with previously commissioned artists to codesign developmental opportunities and fundraising ideas. The first was with participants of our 2023/24 ‘music collab’ to codesign our ‘industry collective’ which was launched in Summer 2025. The group helped us identify the needs of the community we were trying to support and highlighted potential risks associated with the proposed project. This feedback directly informed the structure and content of the project. We held another focus group with previously commissioned artists from our ‘music collab’ and ‘eco collab’ to develop fundraising ideas. They gave anonymous feedback sharing their experiences of the needs of emerging creatives, what kinds of opportunities would benefit them most and how anam creative might be able to provide a service which would benefit our community while diversifying the companies income stream.

In Summer 2025 we started our ‘industry collective’, funded by Youth Music and Creative Scotland. After applicants were selected, we had one-to-ones with each participant. In these meetings we asked how they found the application process and if there is anything they would have changed which could help remove barriers to applying. This feedback has helped us build the application process for our next project taking place in 2026-27.

Our first directors are also stakeholders and held monthly meetings to discuss how feedback we had acquired from the emerging artists we support can be used to improve our social impact. One of our challenges is the financial constraint, so for much of 2024-25, we worked voluntarily to figure out how to become more sustainable as an organisation.

We held quarterly board meetings with all six directors. These were spent looking at and making changes to our company policies, sharing progress on all areas of operations and thinking about ways to diversify income. These meetings have informed our long-term organisational goals.
