Again there has been an awfull lot of mis-reporting with regards to SAC. SAC have not and never have pulled all funding from The Lemon Tree. In 2006 the way all arts organisations in Scotland were funded changed and TLT went from being automatically Core Funded to Project Funded. Yes it was a huge blow and Project Funding in itself did cause difficulties as it was only a 1 year award so very difficult to forward plan and run long term projects. However SAC were so impressed as to how TLT turned itself around that this year they specifically asked us to apply for the next step up of 3 year Flexible Funding. Ironically this application had recently been completed and submitted and we were eagerly anticipationg the successful outcome of the award which would have allowed us to develop a sustainable 3 year plan.
