Project timelines

Considering the change to the published timeline, when will Multi-Year Funding decisions now be announced?
Considering the new timeline, can you confirm the communications that applicants can expect to receive between October and the final decisions now being made in January 2025?
Considering the changed timeline, is there a process whereby those organisations who receive funding presently can signal to Creative Scotland if they now consider themselves at risk?
Is there any emergency funding available for organisations facing imminent closure?

The new timeline for Multi-Year Funding decisions leaves just an 8-week window to the financial year end (for those organisations operating from April-March) and many organisations may now have difficulty in signing off on their accounts as ‘going concerns’. What advice or information can Creative Scotland provide on this issue?
Does Creative Scotland plan to hold any open meetings or online information sessions with an update of anticipated steps and timelines for the Multi-Year Funding process?
Is there any likelihood that existing RFO funding/contracts may be extended for a few months rather than creating a new Transition Fund for applicants to access?
