The Trust is committed to delivering exceptional educational opportunities, particularly for children in disadvantaged areas, ensuring every child receives the support and resources they need to excel. However, as public funding pressures continue to grow, the Trust recognises the need to diversify its income streams to enhance sustainability and maintain its ability to deliver transformative educational experiences. More detail about the RFI This Request for Information (RFI) seeks to understand more about the income generation marketplace and the suppliers operating within this market. We are keen to hear from providers with a track record (that can be evidenced) of income generation.
