Testimonials

  • Working with Be United made me feel that I belong, I felt such a sense of achievement accomplishing the tasks set before me and watching the entire project flourish. What was so rewarding about the project was knowing that my contribution was highly valued and made the project what it was. Meeting fellow creatives and artists and broadening my network has been invaluable. I really appreciate the opportunity that Be United has given me.

  • We worked with Be United on our recent recruitment campaign for Summer Front of House Assistants, as we wanted to make sure the opportunity reached candidates far and wide. BE United was very responsive and a pleasure to work with, and we were able to successfully onboard two strong candidates for our position who had both heard of the advertisement through Be United. One of our candidates mentioned that seeing our opportunity advertised by Be United was one of the factors that motivated them to apply for the post. For us, working with an organisation like Be United who have a strong platform and reputation is an important step in our goal to diversify our recruitment process.

  • Be United is living up to its founding creed and bringing people of all races, shapes and sizes together. This project has made the invisible become visible. It has given a voice to many marginalised and forgotten artists. Be United has shone a bright light on all BAME talent based in Scotland. I can’t speak highly enough of the fantastic work BE United have done to create lasting bonds between isolated artists and from those ties, an outburst of creativity is sure to follow. God bless

  • BU helped me take my first steps into the film industry. Which quickened my development process, without their help my development would have been stunted by a few more years.
