The New Makars Trust exists to support the development and performance of songs about life in Scottish communities. Projects of the Trust have involved established songwriters working with different community groups to create and perform songs about life in their communities. Songwriters from the Trust set out to work with, not for community groups, and will always give encouragement to those wishing to participate in writing and performing songs.

The PRS collects and distributes licence fees for the public performance and broadcast of musical works.

This income is distributed to their members - writers and publishers of music.  The MCPS-PRS Alliance manages common activities, services both societies and is jointly owned by them.

The Musicians' Union represents over thirty thousand musicians working in all sectors of the music business.
