Scotland Against Spin (SAS) was set up in mid-January 2013 by a small group of experienced campaigners who have been active at local and national levels for a number of years.
It is one of our founding principles that SAS is independent of any political party, lobbying organisation, landowner or developer.
SAS is entirely funded by donations from supporters, and all our personnel are volunteers.
The core team is responsible for the day-to-day operation of SAS, including developing the website content; social media; liaising with the press and politicians; campaigning.
The core team includes Graham and Marion Lang, Aileen Jackson, Stephen Lucking, Rachel Connor, Mark Hodgson and Webmaster Tim Harrison who are supported by a number of other dedicated volunteers.
