Timespan plays a central role in Scotland’s cultural landscape, amplifying the value that remote and rural cultural institutions contribute locally, nationally and internationally. Our ambitious and integrated programme of commissions, local history, international networks, community, films, events and talks is a lively hub of local activity and attracts international audiences to Helmsdale.

As a public institution and registered charity, we rely on generous contributions from individuals, trusts and foundations to support our programme and care for and build our local history collections. Charitable support from our members, trusts, donors and corporate partners accounts for around half of our annual income.

Make a Donation

By supporting us you will help ensure that Timespan can build and take the best care of our local history collections, provide an ambitious international contemporary arts programme, provide mentoring opportunities for young people and nurture emerging artistic talent.

Your support will allow us to extend our schools outreach work, which engages young people with big ideas using art and heritage as tools and expand on our public and participatory programme to take our commissions outside of Timespan to wider communities.
