The charity supporting Stirling’s cherished Smith Art Gallery and Museum has issued “a cry from the heart” following two years of uncertainty caused by the pandemic.
The Friends of the Smith, an independent group run by volunteers, has pointed to “a drastic” fall in income, describing the situation as “dire”.
They say a “worrying” number of members have been lost and are appealing for volunteers to help on a regular basis to carry out duties, fundraise and organise events.
