We Are Here Scotland's work is aimed at amplifying the voices and professional development of Black and People of Colour creatives across Scotland through advocacy, mentoring, showcases, workshops and other public events. We view our work as an important step towards uplifting our community and ensuring that we create a legacy of equality and representation for future generations of BPoC creatives. This also includes us supporting intersectionally throughout our community.

We Are Here Scotland is a registered Community Interest Company founded by Creative Practioner Ica Headlam in January 2020. The team also includes experienced Scottish creative industry professionals working on a freelance basis.
