Hi ,

After the surprise announcement by Rishi Sunak on Wednesday, Scotland is just six weeks away from a general election. Politicians will come and go, but understanding who truly holds power in our country has never been more critical. Now, we need your support to discover who really runs Scotland. 

Our acclaimed series in 2021, Who Runs Scotland, shed light on ownership and power in Scotland’s economy, environment, and politics. Now, with the power shifting at Westminster, we will continue this vital work.

In our first round of investigations, we uncovered significant stories such as:

These stories have informed public debate, led to policy changes, and empowered people in Scotland with the knowledge they need to demand accountability. As we approach this crucial election, your donation will enable us to launch round two of our series, ensuring that our elected representatives remain accountable.

By contributing to our crowdfunding campaign, you are directly supporting investigative journalism that aims to keep our democracy transparent and fair. Your donation will help fund in-depth research, on-the-ground reporting, and comprehensive analyses that are crucial in holding those in power accountable.
