The Painters Chronicle is a youth run organisation which covers a range of issues from current affairs to opinions to music - the list seems to go on for a while!

What are the green credentials of the Painter’s Chronicle?
We consider ourselves to be a “green” organisation, because of the nature of the distribution method – which is entirely internet-based, and therefore uses no paper.

In 2010 the keys to the castle were handed over to a team of two, Joe Cotton and Callum MacRae who now oversee the day to day running of the Chronicle.
