About Us

Outer Spaces supports artists, professional development, artist-led activity, and studio provision by repurposing empty commercial properties. Our programming and partnerships focus on visual artists, using vacant and disused spaces as platforms for research, experimentation, and creative exchange.

Since launching in 2021, the response to our work—and to our growing portfolio of spaces—has been overwhelming. We have supported over 1,000 resident artists and groups across 139 spaces in 13 local authority areas. These spaces are currently located in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Greenock, Inverness, Motherwell, Newton Mearns, and Paisley. They include former shops and offices in diverse settings—from busy city centres and commuter towns to post-industrial areas and communities heavily affected by austerity, Brexit, the pandemic, and now the cost-of-living crisis.

All our spaces are rent-free. By removing what is often an artist’s highest monthly cost, Outer Spaces plays a vital role in supporting creative practice, particularly now, as rising living costs put further pressure on already fragile incomes. Our goal is to ensure that artists, especially those at early stages of their careers, have access to affordable space, a peer network, and opportunities to collaborate, share work, and engage with the public.

About the Scottish Child Law Centre

We are a specialist hub protecting children’s rights in Scotland. We provide free legal advice about child law and children’s rights to promote equitable access to justice and specialist training which strengthens advocacy and sustainable support for the rights of the child. We also use evidence from our direct engagement and work with partners to influence long term change for children.

Importantly, we are the only specialist hub for all ages of children and across all areas of child-related Scots’ law. We are here for children, and those who care and support them, and all advice is provided by our qualified solicitors.

Many more children and families are struggling with complex issues in the backdrop of increasing poverty, and demand for our free legal advice has significantly increased. We also know from feedback that our specialist training is deeply valued in the current fast-moving children’s policy environment and as children’s rights are implemented.

The Scottish Child Law Centre’s vision is for ‘All children growing up in Scotland to have their rights respected, protected and fulfilled.’ To support that vision and the growing need, we have recently produced a communications strategy to raise our profile and further extend our reach, particularly targeting communities experiencing multiple breaches of their rights.

The Centre has been through a rapid transformation over the past few years with new, innovative services being set up to ensure that children and young people have knowledge of their rights and how to realise them. We will be opening an in-person free community law clinic in Govanhill in September to allow us to reach those children and families who need us most and provide tailored support to empower families to realise children’s rights. We will also be launching our Access to Justice Programme for secondary school students, which is a course that has been co-produced with the students of Bucksburn Academy. The course aims to coach young people on access to justice and will provide opportunities for young people to influence change in their communities.
