he Scotland-Russia Forum is an independent organisation run by volunteers. We are a Scottish Incorporated Charitable Organisation (SCIO, reg. no. SC038728). Our aims and activities are described in About us.
In 2008 we received generous donations from Scottish & Newcastle plc and Awards for All, enabling us to rent and equip a Russian culture centre, the Scotland-Russia Institute, for its first three years. Apart from that most of our funding comes from membership subscriptions. Sadly we had to close the Scotland-Russia Institute in 2013 and until 2019 have had a small office/library in the Edinburgh arts complex Summerhall. The Summerhall Office was closed in spring 2019 and all SRF activities have now ceased there. The new POSTAL address for SRF is:
SRF, CEES, 8 Lilybank Gardens, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ. Please note, however, that we do not have a designated Office space there and we do not have a telephone line there either so please either contact us by letter to the CEES address or by our e-mail: info@scotlandrussiaforum.org. Our e-mail is monitored on an almost daily basis.
To develop our activities and pay for our premises we need financial and other support.
There are many ways you could contribute: as a member, by volunteering your time and expertise or by donation. More details below but please don't hesitate to contact us to discuss: email info@scotlandrussiaforum.org.
