At our AGM last Thursday, we elected Elaine C Smith, Scottish actor and comedian, as the first President of the Convention. We created the position of President to allow the widening of the scope for the appointees to the position of Convener of the Convention. Elaine’s election to the role is in recognition of the significant work she has done for the Convention, and for the wider independence movement. She has been a pivotal figure in the work of the independence campaign since the Convention’s formation 14 years ago. Maggie Chapman, former Co-convener of the Scottish Greens, was elected to take over from Elaine asRead More →

Voices for Scotland, a new non-party, civic organisation campaigning for Scottish independence, launches today. It has been set up by the Scottish Independence Convention and is focused on engaging with people who are undecided about independence or are having doubts about their support for the UK. Its aim is to facilitate big, open conversations about Scotland’s future through discussion and engagement. The organisation is non-political and will seek to engage with people using a different voice – with the aim of listening to what people need to help them become supportive of independence, as well as to persuade them of its merits.

As a wide ranging Coalition of Independence supporting organisations and individuals we have been very active, laying the Foundations on which we will build our campaign to lift Indy support to 60% or more.
