## Activities

**Activities:** &#x27;It carries out activities or services itself&#x27;

**Purposes:** &#x27;the advancement of citizenship or community development&#x27;,&#x27;the advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science&#x27;,&#x27;the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended&#x27;

**What the charity does:** Established and run by a volunteer collective of artists, writers, academics, filmmakers and musicians, Outwith Festival continues in 2024 to champion Dunfermline’s cultural life. We believe a city with Dunfermline’s history and creative heritage must offer accessible outlets for artistic expression — both popular and experimental — so that residents can participate in, and contribute to, an ongoing cultural conversation. Our work responds to local need: as public arts provision in schools and elsewhere is reduced, affordable local access to workshops, gigs, talks, theatre and film becomes ever more essential if Dunfermline is to sustain and expand its creative economy. Outwith provides that access: a place of exchange where artists present new work and the community can engage with it close to home.

**Objectives:** 4.	The organisation’s purposes are:   4.1.	The advancement of the arts, particularly but not exclusive to music  4.2.	The organisation of recreational activities, namely the playing, enjoyment of and participation in music and the arts, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the activities are primarily intended, by being available to members of the public at large or to male or female members of the public at large.  4.3.	The advancement of citizenship or community development by working with third sector organisations and working to encourage and support public involvement in the planning and development process of festival activities.
