Networks & Forums

Getting involved in different networks and geographic forums can encourage greater partnership working, and provide support for your organisation.

Forum Connections

Forum Connections was a 4-year project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF), to encourage greater partnership working in Scottish museums through investment in Scotland’s geographic forums.
