Scottish Futures Trust: Five Year Review 2020/21


We are an agile organisation and during 2020/21 we were able to quickly adapt our work effectively during the pandemic allowing us to make progress against our business objectives.


As a key participant in the Construction Leadership Forum, we, together with numerous others took a lead role to develop, publish and implement the Scottish Construction Industry Recovery Plan. The plan focussed on the actions industry and the public sector needed to take to respond to the pandemic, working towards maximising support for employers and employees and establishing new ways of working to manage infection control, health and safety and shared learning opportunities.


Marking the first anniversary of the ‘stay at home’ notice in March 2021, we published our New Frontiers for Smarter Working, Work and Workplace Report as a practical tool to provide guidance and support to public bodies to understand, develop, and embed their own future workplace models based on the learnings from COVID-19.


Some other notable highlights include:


• The 117th and last school in the SFT-managed £1.8bn Scotland’s Schools for the Future programme (Lossiemouth High School) was completed and handed over to Moray Council


• In providing management oversight, the Scotland-wide community infrastructure hub Programme was recognised in an independent evaluation report, confirming it had performed well against its original aims and objectives, having delivered substantial social impacts and community benefits
