Due to the ongoing Covid-19 (coronavirus) situation and government guidelines the Saltire Society Headquarters will be closed for in-person events and meetings.

Staff continue to work from home for the foreseeable.

With regard to HQ programming, we are still planning for our programme of Awards and events to go forward. They will be and are evolving with the help of our Panels, Trustees and Committees to ensure we are following government guidance while maintaining a successful programme for the Society, its members and audiences.

We are unfortunately unable to post any pamphletts out at this moment.

Our priority is for the health and safety of our team, members, committees and volunteers and we will work hard to ensure the Society continues to do its important work.
