We won't be using your data for anything other than providing the best service we can for you, and you have control over your account on CommonSpace at all times.

Step 3 — Donate & Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct on CommonSocial can be summarised very simply: be nice to people, respect each other, and treat others as you would like to be treated. In other words: Don't be a dick.

Don't be a dick

Our monthly donors — They're the backbone of our organisation, faithfully committing to give what they can every month to help make our work possible.

CommonSpace cannot exist without staff and its team of reporters, so please contribute to our running costs. We don't make a profit and we don't take any advertising; editorial freedom is central to what we do, along with our belief that readers should always be at the heart of the CommonSpace network.

So far your donations have allowed CommonSpace News to function for 18 months, in which time the team has stormed the Scottish and UK media landscape with a string of exclusive stories and in-depth coverage of the big issues facing Scotland today. To build on this we need to grow our team and expand our content—we can only do that with your support, so please contribute a monthly donation now and help us to build the Scotland we want to live in.

Build the Scotland you want to live in - let's build it together.
