We’re thrilled to announce that RUTS has received three years of funding from The Robertson Trust!

This incredible support will help us continue delivering first-class training sessions and employability programs for young people across Scotland.

The Robertson Trust is one of Scotland’s largest independent funders, working tirelessly to prevent and reduce poverty and trauma by funding, supporting, and influencing solutions that drive social change.

With this funding, RUTS is firmly in the driving seat to make a real difference for the young people we work with every day.

Thank you to The Robertson Trust! 💙
